Scanogram is that combine several practical images into one image to observation. So it is an important consideration in many clinical situation such as iliac measurement, leg alignment measurement and Scoliosis. Currently, scanogram examinations are mainly conducted for children and elderly patients. In this study, in order to apply the longbone detector to children or elderly patients who are difficult to cooperate with, we compared the longbone detector from D equipment with the G equipment discovery 656 Puls equipment in reproducibility of images, distribution of irradiation dose, scattering dose, irradiation time and image acquisition time. D equipment took more than twice as much time as G equipment. The scattered dose generated about 50% more G equipment than D equipment. In the whole spine scanogram and the measurement length of the lower leg, D equipment was also measured longer than G equipment. However, both methods did not show much difference from the CT scanogram, so there was no problem in measurement. The height of the thyroid radiation dose of G equipment was produced more radiation than D equipment. However, the longbone detector deviated from the x-ray center line relative to the tube rotation method, and was measured lower by the directionality of the measuring instrument, so that the error could not be corrected. In the conclusion of study, using the longbone detector is excellent for applying to children or elderly patients to reduce scattering dose. However, using CR may be useful to normal patients. Because, the image quality may deteriorate due to an imbalance of dose difference in thickness depending on the body part. So, it is useful to using a compensation filter or tube rotation method when we take a whole spine scanogram.

Purpose: Korean society is undergoing the rapid increase and poverty of elderly population. Therefore, the appropriate supply and planning of public rental housing for the low-income elderly is more important. The purpose of this study is to present the basic data for the study and planning of the elderly housing complex by analyzing the cognitive characteristics of the elderly residing in the rental housing. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted to identify health characteristics of the elderly living in the 'Gongreung SH Apartment'. 100 random samples were collected and 82 valid samples were analysed. Statistical analysis was performed using Excel and R for the age, sex, health, outdoor walking frequency and characteristics of Cognitive map of the elderly. Results: The characteristics of cognitive map were classified into point shapes and linear shapes. The linear group was lower in average age than the point group and tended to draw the map wider. The wider the map was, the more the number of elements in cognitive map was. The number of elements on the cognitive map decreased as respondents' age increased. On the other hand it was not related to residence period and gender of the elderly. Implication: The cognitive extent of the residential environment tends to decrease with age. Men's cognitive range is wider than women's. There is no corelation between the number of cognitive elements and cognitive map type. Men tend to have a systematic image of city, whereas women focus on relational and social urban factors. For sustainable apartment complex design, various characteristics of the group including men and women, different age and different health status should be considered.

This research was conducted to provide basic data for the formulation of marketing strategies suitable to the increasingly globalizing clothing market for the elderly in the fashion industry, by comparing the clothing behavior and preferences of elderly women aged over 70 years in Korea with those of women in the U.S. The 106 questionnaire responses that were collected in the U.S. and the 235 responses that were collected in Korea were used for the analysis, The major objectives of this study were as follow; 1. It was found that the elderly women of Korea utilize mostly human information as information source when purchasing clothing, whereas women of U.S. utilize mostly media information. Comfort was found to be most important factor both countries, but the Korean women considered the aesthetic aspect of clothing more important than did American women. 2. The clothing preference of Korean elderly women aged over 70 years was concentrated in young and feminine images regardless of items, so it could be seen that they had strong desire for looking young. But American elderly women showed different preference depending on items, so it could be seen that they pursue diverse images depending on clothing items and personality without concentrating in one image. The comparison of the preference style by item of elderly women over 70 years of age between Korea and the U,S. showed significant difference. Accordingly, the designs of the clothes of the Korean and American women should be differentiated and developed according to the clothes item and country.

The principal objective of this study was to analyze and conceptualize the socio-psychological burden in utilizing a nursing home for elderly. The subjects were five elderly from a private nursing home located in Seoul and their familial caregivers. An old male and three females were currently staying at the facility, and a female had been discharged already from there. Data were collected through depth interviews, observations and review of records at the facility For analysis, the data were classified by similar contents among significant expressions and factors in common. The subjects' motives to consider admission to the nursing home might be attributed to familial caregivers' burden, a shortage of support, environmental improvement and feeling of helplessness for the case elderly. The concept of burden is including family members' being badly off in living, their weariness, complications among family members, feeling psychological uneasiness, and hospital expenses. The identified image of nursing homes for the elderly in Korea was generally negative at the point of high cost, unreasonable requisites and limitations for admission to the facilities, inferior situations, and especially in that there were few long-term care facilities within the community boundary. From their experience of nursing homes, the interviewees have felt the sentiments of sorry for their old parents, with the thought of being an undutiful, bitterness, and empathy. Additionally, they expressed a sense of anxiety of relative deprivation against the fact that there were no long-term care facilities available for the middle class. On the basis of these, multi-dimensional needs could be identified for the elderly with chronic illnesses.

뇌졸중 질환은 전세계적으로 가장 중요한 사망원인 중 하나이며, 특히 고령자에게 장애의 원인이 되는 가장 중요한 질환이다. 뇌졸중 질환이 발생하면 사망 또는 심각한 장애를 유발하기 때문에, 적극적인 일차 예방과 전조증상의 빠른 발견이 매우 중요하다. 특히, 일상생활에서의 뇌졸중 전조증상 발병을 감지 및 정확히 예측하여 전문가의 신속한 진단을 유도할 수 있어야 한다. 최근까지의 연구에서는 뇌졸중 환자의 전조증상을 예측하는 방법론으로 CT(Computed Tomography)나 MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging)와 같은 영상 분석이 대부분이었으나, 이러한 접근에는 오랜 검사 시간과 높은 검사 비용 등에 대한 한계점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 고령자의 뇌졸중 질환 발병이 보행 시 족압(Foot Pressure)에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 임상 데이터를 이용해 실험하였다. 실험 결과, 보행 중에 뇌졸중 고령자와 일반 고령자 간에 12개의 셀에서 * p < .05 인 유의미한 차가 있음을 분석 및 검증하였다. 결과적으로 고령의 뇌졸중 환자와 일반 고령자의 일상생활의 보행 패턴에 유의미한 차이를 발견했다는 것에 그 의미가 크다고 할 수 있다.

본 논문은 고령자의 사회참여의 일 형식으로서 경제활동에 대한 대안적 인식의 필요성과 이에 따른 고령자 교육의 과제를 제기하기 위하여 추진되었다. 이를 위하여 일본의 '보람 취로'의 개념과 실천사례를 고찰하였다. 문헌연구를 통하여 일본의 국가 및 지자체의 고령자정책사업을 개관하는 가운데 그 특징을 살피어 보았다. 그리고 고령자들이 자주적인 회사설립을 통하여 추진한 사례, 오가와노쇼 오야키무라의 실천을 현지방문과 인터뷰조사를 통하여 고찰하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 얻은 결과는 다음과 같다. 고령자의 경제활동은 성공적 노화의 관점에서 전개되어야 할 필요가 있고 이러한 경제활동은, 일본의 '보람취로'에서와 같이 다음과 같은 특징을 가진다. 첫째, 고령자상에 대한 변화된 인식이 필요하다. 고령자는 사회적 활용의 가치가 있는 경험자원을 가진 존재이다. 둘째, 고령자가 가진 경험자원을 사회적 가치로 창조하여 내는 교육과 기관경영이 필요하다. 셋째, 노년기에 부합한 일에 대한 유연한 인식이 필요하다. 즉 노년기의 심리적 고독경향, 사회적 단절 특성을 반영하고 이외에도 의미있는 존재가 되고 싶은 노년기의 요구를 반영한 일의 고안이 필요하다. 그러므로 향후 고령자 교육은 보람취로의 관점에서 일 교육에 대한 방침과 실천을 고안할 필요가 있다.
