The purpose of this study was to assess the biomechanical effects of corset and back brace for low back pain syndroms patients. The subjects of this study were 69 patients with low back pain syndroms who had been hospitalized or were visited out-patient department of the rehabilitation hospital, college of medicine, Yonsei University, from October 5, 1995 through November 5, 1995. Clinical results and datum were obtained by phone calls and chart reviews of low back pain patients. The results were as follows: 1) Fifty - nine subjects recovered over a good grade (85.6%). 2) The standing workers had a little effect of brace for low back pain. 3) After using a corset and back brace, the test of SLR increased from 36.23% to 72.47%, and the ability of ambulation improved from 40.57% to 85.5%. In conclusion, the biomechanical effects of corset and back brace for low back pain patients were found to be decrease pains and improve posture and ADL function.

About two thirds of patients admitted to hospitals world-wide suffer from acute abdomen pains of varying degrees of severity. Acute abdomen pain due to appendicitis or pancreatitis usually requires urgent surgical treatment, whereas pain due to heart ischemia or enteroviral infection requires only drug treatment. In general, making an immediate decision about whether or not acute abdomen pain requires urgent surgery is very difficult. This decision becomes even more difficult when the patient is a young child who can't properly describe the abdominal pain. In this case, thermo-visual inspection can alternatively be used to decide whether urgent surgical treatment is necessary to cure the abdominal pain.

Daily exposure to constrained body postures and deviations from neutral postures over a long period may result in discomfort as well as pains and aches in the muscles, joints, tendons, and other soft tissues. Furthermore, it was known that poor body postures are a major cause of musculoskeletal disorders in industry. Therefore, in this study, comfort ranges of joint motions were obtained as a criterion for evaluating body postures and designing workplaces ergonomically, which were bases on subjects' perceived discomfort level estimated by magnitude estimation. Nineteen healthy male subjects participated in the laboratory study. They results showed that comfort ranges of joint motions occurred in the wrist, elbow, neck, and ankle were little less than their normal range of joint motions, but those in the back(L5/S1) and hip joint were much less than their normal ones. This fact implies that the back and jip movements are more stressful than the other joints movements. It is expected that comfort ranges of joint motions can be used as a valuable guideline when designing and evaluating workplaces.

There was clinical study to support the efficacy that the anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of deoxyribonuclease, bromelain helped to reduce symptoms of inflammation. The current study investigated the effects of deoxyribonuclease, bromelain on local traumatic edema. The author used a drug containing proteolytic and mucolytic enzymes, deoxyribonuclease and bromelain, into 61 patients from 16 to 89 years old. The therapeutic response and tolerance had been excellent, which was permitted to a swift resolution on local traumatic edema and a prompt functional reestablishment. These results demonstrated that the drug was effective in local edema symptoms, pains and improving general condition suffering from trauma.

When picking up cargo, workers manually load and unload the cargo. Workers have different intensity of work depending on the amount and weight of cargo. In particular, as the intensity of manual work increases, workers are exposed to cumulative traumatic diseases. A manual for picking safety work for workers cargo handling in the distribution center is required. In this study, the worker's picking safety work based on the cargo volume and weight was presented as an experimental design model. Like the research results, the disease begins when the worker feels the number of pains presented by the model.

The aspect of consciousness of drifting people expressed in Wang Shizhen's works accurately reflects the trajectory of his life. Living in the environment of the people, he had to play a dual role in caring for and managing the people's society while serving as a manager of Qing dynasty in the home of the people during his youth. In the middle age, when Qing Dynasty was already stabilizing, the consciousness of drifting people gradually disappeared as the wounds and pains of the past were gradually diluted, showing a tendency to take care of life and return to their hometowns.
