The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of TENS and cold application on secondary thermal hyperalgesia in rats induced by muscle pain. Muscle pain was induced in male Sprague-Dowley rats by intra-muscular injection of gastrocnemius with $3\%$ carrageenan. The paw withdrawal latency(PWL) and tail flick test(TFT) to heat were used to detect secodary thermal hyperalgesia induced by the muscle pain. PWL and TFT were quantified before and 4, 10, and 24 h after induction of muscle pain and after application of TENS(100Hz, $100{\mu}s$, sensory intensity) and cold($4^{\circ}C$). TENS and cold significantly reduced the PWL and TFT to heat stimuli when compared with controls receiving no TENS and cold(p<.05). These results suggested that application of TENS and cold attributed to decrease secodary thermal hyperalgesia in rat induced by muscle pain.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of home visiting physical therapy on the motor function and ADL in the person with chronic stroke. In this study, 50 individuals, lining in Ui-wang city, were chosen by Ui-wang city public health center and the home visiting physical therapy was performed once a week for 8 weeks and scored the MAS, the FIM and the MBI before and after. The results of this study were as follows. (1) The items with the highest score among subscales of the MAS was 'Sitting', the FIM was 'Comprehension', and the MBI was 'Ambulation' and the lowest were the MAS was 'Hand activities', the FIM was 'Bathing', and the MBI was 'Bathing self' respectively. (2) After 8 weeks home visiting physical therapy, average total score of MAS, FIM and MBI were 23.32, 89.00, and 61.72 and MAS and MBI a significant increment(p<0.05) but not FIM. Results shown here indicates that the home visiting physical therapy can result in changed the motor function and the ADL in the person with chronic stroke. Also, the results of this study can provide a reference for the successful therapeutic program in the persons with chronic stroke.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of group art therapy on old adults' powerlessness, loneliness. depression and self-image (for 55-year old or older people). Method: An experimental group of 10 persons were given group art therapy for 1 hour per week for 8 weeks. Results: The result of this study showed that group art therapy is effective in decreasing older adults' powerlessness (p<0.05) and their loneliness and depression (p<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the score of loneliness (p>0.05). A tree test was executed to analyze self-image change. and the result of the tree test showed a significant change in the tree shape. which mean a significant positive change in self-image. Conclusions: The scores of older adults' powerlessness, loneliness and depression were lowered by the group art therapy. Therefore it is thought that group art therapy program was an effective intervention for improving older adults' quality of life. Thus, this study suggests to apply group art therapy as a supportive nursing intervention in order to manage powerlessness, loneliness, depression and self-image in old low-income adults.

This study used both kinesiotaping and extracorporeal shock wave therapy on patients diagnosed with frozen shoulder - a common musculoskeletal disorder in adults - in order to observe the effects on the joint range of motion. 21 adult(male 12, female 9) were selected and distributed into randomized groups. One group received kinesiotaping (n=10) and the other group received kinesiotaping together with extracorporeal shockwave therapy (n=11). After a 6 week duration of receiving kinesiotaping and extracorporeal shockwave therapy, changes in the joint range of motion in the patients were observed. Post-treatment of frozen shoulder, the changes in abduction within the shoulder joint were as follows: in both groups there was a noticeable increase in the joint range of motion (p<.05). Post-treatment of frozen shoulder, the changes in external rotation within the shoulder joint were as follows: both groups showed a significant increase in the joint range of motion (p<.05). The result of suggest that, it can be inferred that both the extracorporeal shockwave therapy and kinesiotaping are effective in increasing the joint range of motion in patients with frozen shoulder.
