Purpose : This study used a sarcopenia diagnostic algorithm proposed by the Asia working group in adults over 50 to diagnose sarcopenia and analyze body function. The purpose of this study is to prepare basic data for the management and prevention of sarcopenia. Methods : We performed a diagnostic evaluation of sarcopenia in 97 adults over the age of 50 years with the cooperation of the Seongnam senior experience complex in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do. As a result of the diagnostic process, 24 subjects were placed into the sarcopenia group, while 73 subjects were placed into the normal group. We measured each subject's body, performed the timed up and go test to evaluate functional mobility, and conducted a questionnaire on the pre-symptom of locomotive syndrome and locomotive syndrome. Results : There were statistically significant differences in height, weight, and skeletal muscle mass between the two groups. There was also a statistically significant difference in the timed up and go test, which confirmed the difference in functional mobility between the two groups. In addition, there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in the proportion and the mean score of subjects with pre-symptom of locomotive syndrome and locomotive syndrome. In the correlation analysis, grip strength was statistically significantly correlated with height, weight, skeletal muscle mass, waist circumference, timed up and go test, pre-symptom of locomotive syndrome and locomotive syndrome. Gait speed was significantly correlated with the timed up and go test and locomotive syndrome. Appendicular skeletal muscle index was significantly correlated with height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, and the pre-symptom of locomotive syndrome. Conclusion : In conclusion, sarcopenia is closely related to height, weight, skeletal muscle mass and functional mobility, as well as the pre-symptom of locomotive syndrome and, locomotive syndrome. In consideration of this, the prevention and management of sarcopenia should be made accordingly.

Objectives Osteoarthritis is hard to manage with both conventional and Korean medicine treatment. The core outcome set (COS) to demonstrate the effectiveness of Korean medicine treatment has not been established yet. We aimed to present preliminary data of COS by performing a literature review on the evaluation indices used in existing clinical research. Methods We examined the literature from 2000 to 2017 in two Korean electronic databases (Korea citation index and oriental medicine advanced searching integrated system) by searching for the following 3 terms 'total knee replacement (Korean)', 'total knee replacement,' and 'knee surgery.' We found 333 articles; among them, 50 duplicates were removed. Finally, we selected 160 articles after complete screening. We then extracted measured indices and clinical outcomes from the selected articles and categorized the relevant criteria. Results According to this study, the hospital for special surgery and knee society, range of movement angle, cross leg, Berg balance scale and balance ability, muscle strength, 6 minutes walking test, visual analogue scale, self-efficacy, the 12-item and 36-item short form survey and self-rated health status are the most commonly used outcomes of knee. Conclusions This study found that the several categories after total knee replacement (TKR) are being evaluated in the literature, and we were able to verify the most frequently used evaluation indices in these categories. The results of this study will be used to establish evaluation indices for the treatment of TKR in the future using Korean medicine.

인공관절은 21세기 정형외과 발전의 주요변화들 중의 하나이다. 1997년이래 전 세계적으로 무릎인공관절(Total Knee Arthroplasty: TKA)을 사용하는 사람들이 해마다 약 600,000명씩 증가하고 있는 추세이고 미국에서만 인공관절을 사용하고 있는 사람들이 210,000명에 달하고 있으며 그 시장은 대략 $5 billion을 넘고 있다(7). 무릎인공관절은 일상생활에서 의자에 앉았다 일어날 때 계단을 올라 갈 때 등, 무릎의 근 모멘트가 적당한 활동을 해서 무릎관절 근육에 지레와 같은 작용을 하게 하고, 완전한 무릎으로 정상인의 무릎과 같은 기능을 오랫동안 유지하게 한다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위해서는 무릎인공관절 디자인 시 정상적인 무릎 회전축(normal knee's axes of rotation)들의 정확한 위치를 파악하는 것은 중요하다. 인공관절 수술 후 무릎관절의 신전과 굴곡 운동을 하는 동안 하나의 회전축(single-axes)을 가진 하나의 회전 반경(single-radius)을 알아보는 것은 여러 축(multi-axes)으로 움직이게 된다는 다축 회전반경(multi-radius)을 분석하기에 앞서 중요한 연구이다. 따라서 본 연구에 서는 무릎이 신전운동과 굴곡 운동 시 신전과 굴곡 모멘트를 만들어내는 대퇴 사두근(quadriceps muscle)과 무릎 오금근 (hamstring)의 역할을 알아보았고, 또한 모멘트와 대퇴 사두근의 iEMG 형태를 파악하였다. 본 연구를 수행하기 위해 무릎인공관절 수술을 받고 1년과 3년이 지난 정상적인 생활을 하는 피검자(1년2명, 3년2명)를 대상으로 Isometric 테스트를 위한 KIN-COM III을 사용하여 60$^\circ$, 30$^\circ$의 무릎굴곡 측정을 하였고, Isokinetic concentric 테스트를 위해서 무릎굴곡각도의 $10^\circ$-80$^\circ$까지 움직임을 측정하였다 또한 15$^\circ$-75$^\circ$까지의 신전운동(sit-to-stand movement)과 굴곡운동(stand-to-sit movement)을 실시하여 시간의 차이, 내전과 외전의 차이 그리고 iEMG의 차이를 알아보았다. 본 연구의 데이터는 여러 번의 실험을 통하여 가장 일반적인 수치를 사용하였다. 이 때 16-channel BTS TELEMG를 사용하여 대퇴사두근과 무릎오금근의 근육활동모양을 알아보았다. 본 연구결과는 시술 후 3년이 지나면서 TKR (Total Knee Replacement)의 대퇴 사두근 토큐가 약해지는 것으로 나타났고, iEMG 실험에서는 N-TKR (Non-Total Knee Replacement)의 대퇴 사두근이 TKR의 대퇴 사두근 보다 근 수축력이 더 크게 발휘되는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 단축회전반경의 굴곡과 신전의 $10^\circ$-80$^\circ$까지의 각 속도는 굴곡동작이 1.19s, 신전 동작이 1.68s로 나타났다. 굴곡과 신전동작에서 다리의 외전(abduction)의 각도변화는 굴곡 시 5.5$^\circ$, 신전 시 5.2$^\circ$로 나타났고, 내전(adduction)의 각도변화는 굴곡 시 7.2$^\circ$, 신전 시 6.1$^\circ$로 나타났다. 대퇴 사두근의 iEMG변화에서는 15$^\circ$-60$^\circ$까지 vastus medialis (VM), vastus lateralis (VL), rectus femoris (RF) 모두 굴곡동작에서 큰 값으로 나타났고, 61$^\circ$-75$^\circ$사이에서는 신전동작에서 iEMG가 큰 값으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과들은 인공관절 수술자들의 다축회전 반경을 분석하기에 앞서 중요한 선행연구가 될 것으로 생각된다.

Objective: This study was to compares and analyzes programs applied to improve cognitive function in patients with mild cognitive impairment and early dementia in the community to find out their effectiveness. Methods: In this study, 12 papers were finalized by searching for "elderly", "cognitive", "community", and "program" using the database of the Research Information System (RISS), National Assembly Library, and Korean Studies Information (KISS). Results: Programs for cognitive function were in the order of cognitive stimulation program, arts and crafts, and exercise program. In the program, rather than applying the cognitive stimulation program alone, the program was operated by combining leisure or exercise, music, art, and handicraft. The time was shown to be 30 minutes. The most frequently used evaluation tool was MMSE, followed by GDS and BBS. By cognitive domain, cognitive stimulation program and memory, satisfaction in psychology, and balance ability in exercise were evaluated the most. In the cognitive area, various cognitive stimulation areas were included, and in the exercise area, basic exercise, muscle strength exercise, joint exercise, and balance exercise were applied. Conclusion: Therefore, developing a program to improve cognitive function for mild cognitive impairment, it will be possible to prepare guidelines to establish and development.

Background: It is known that hand strength and fingertip force are used as an indicator of muscle strength and are also highly related to the various chronic symptoms and even lifespan. To use the individual fingertip force (IFF) as a quantitative index for clinical evaluation, the IFF should be measured and analyzed with various variables from various subjects, such as the normal range of fingertip force and the difference in its distribution by disease. Objects: We tried to measure and analyze the mean maximum IFF distribution during grasping a cylindrical object in healthy adults and patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: Five Force-sensitive resistor (FSR) sensors were attached to the fingertips of 24 healthy people and 13 patients with SCI. They were asked to grip the object three times for five seconds with their maximum effort. Results: The mean maximum IFF of the healthy adult group's thumb, index, and middle finger was similar statistically and showed relatively larger than IFF of the ring and small finger. It is a 3-point pinch grip pattern. All fingertip forces of patients with SCI decreased by more than 50% to the healthy group, and their IFF of the middle finger was relatively the largest among the five fingertip forces. The cervical level injured SCI patients showed significantly decreased IFFs compared to thoracic level injured SCI patients. Conclusion: We expect that this study results would be helpful for rehabilitation diagnosis and therapy goal decision with robust further study.

Purpose: Patients with tibial fractures can have functional problems with balance and gait, as well as lower extremity muscle weakness. This case report aimed to describe the effect of hip joint strengthening exercises using proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) on balance and gait and lower limb function in a patient with tibia fracture. Methods: One patient diagnosed with tibial fracture was treated for seven weeks with the basic procedure, pattern, and technique of PNF for a hip joint strengthening exercise. Results: The results of pre- and post-intervention treatment showed improvements in physical function and structure in the clinical tests, including the manual strength test; the modified Ashworth scale; sensory evaluation; balance, sit-to-stand, and gait performance; and evaluation of lower limb function. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it is suggested that the use of theory-based proprioceptive neuromuscular stimulation for hip joint strengthening exercises positively affects patients' functional improvement in tibial fracture patients, and this may be used as a therapeutic exercise method for those with orthopedic problems in the lower extremities. One limitation of this study was that it was performed on only one tibia fracture patient, which makes it difficult to extend the treatment effects to all patients with this condition.

The aims of this study were to understand and to predict the determinant factors affecting the exercise behaviors and physical fitness by testing the Ponder's health promotion model, and to help the patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis perform the continuous exercise program, and to help them maximize the physical effect such as muscle strength. endurance, and fuctional status and mental effects including self efficacy and quality of life, and improve the physical and mental wellbeing, and to provide a basis for the nursing intervention strategies. We analyzed the clinical records of 208 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and degenerative arthritis who visited the outpatient clinics at H university hospital in Seoul between October 5, 1999 and October 24, 1999. Data were composed of self reported questionnaire and good of fitness score which were obtained by pedalling the ergometer of bicycle for 9 minutes. SPSS Win 8.0 and Window LISREL 8.12a were used for statistical analysis. 24 Of 54 hypothetical paths were supported in modified model, which was considered as a proper model with improved fit index. The physical fitness was directly influenced by exercise participation behavior and education level, and indirectly by physical fitness, while fatigue, physical disability, pastexercise behavior, life-style, self-efficacy, which explained 20% of physical fitness. The exercise participation were directly influenced by perceived benefits and self-efficacy, and indirectly influenced by life-style, fatigue and physical disability, and directly and indirectly by past exercise behavior, which explained 53% of exercise participation. Exercise score were directly affected by perceived health status, perceived benefits, self efficacy, and past exercise behavior, and were indirectly affected by fatigue, physical disability, and life-style, which explained 50%. Perceived health status were directly influeced by level of education, depression, sleep disorder, and physical disability, which explained 34% of perceived health status. Perceived benefit was directly influenced by fatigue, sleep disorder, physical disability, and life-style, which explained 45%. Perceived barriers was directly influenced by fatigue, sleep disorder, and lifestyle, which explained 9%. Self- efficacy was directly influenced by fatigue, physical disability, past exercise behavior, and level of education, which explained 61%. In conclusion, important variables for physical fitness were exercise participation and level of education, and variables affecting exercise participation were perceived self-efficacy, benefits, and past exercise behavior. Perceived self-efficacy of exercise was a significant predictor of exercise participation. Life-style, fatigue, and physical disability showed direct effects on perceived benefit, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy, and indirect effects on exercise behavior. Therefore, disease related factor should be minimized for physical performance and well being in nursing intervention for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and plans to promote and continue exercise should be soaked to reduce disability. In addition, Exercise program should be planned and performed by the exact evaluation of exercise according to the ability of the patients and the contents to improve the importance of exercise and self efficacy in self control program, dedicated educational program should be involved.
