The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect given to the variable details which disturb the flow of blood in brain artery disease through Aerobic exercises. It chose the subjects of study : 5 persons in an exercise group and 5 persons in a non-exercise group. Peak brain blood velocity, mean velocity, and resistance & artery stricture ratio were measured with TCD, measure machine for brain artery blood flow. The conclusion of the study was as follows: 1. At pre-test of an exercises group and a non-exercise group, PBV, MBV, BRI, ASI of a non-exercise group were showed much lower in the variation of left common carotid artery(LCCA). 2. At post-test of an aerobic exercises group and a non-exercise group, PBV, MBV, BRI, ASI of a non-exercise group were showed just a little decrease ratio but were not significant different in the variation of left common carotid artery(LCCA). Viewing on the base of these result, continuing exercises promote the functional improvement of the heart blood system and were showed the positive variation of artery stricture ratio according to brain blood flow velocity, the pulse and resistance or blood velocity. Therefore programs for prescriptions through aerobic exercises must be developed in many ways.

The purpose of this study investigated the anesthetic effects of lidocaine gel by phonophoretic transdermal delivery. The anesthetic effects were evaluated by two aspects as quantitative sensory testing and sensory nerve conduction study. Twelve healthy males(aged $23.25{\pm}2.09$ years) were studied. Exclusion criteria were ; pain, history of sensory disturbances and skin conditions in the areas to be examined. The subjects were divided into two groups; group I(lidocaine gel without ultrasound) and group II(lidocaine gel with ultrasound). The following results were obtained; 1. In changes of tactile threshold and electrical pain threshold, all groups were significantly increased(p<0.05). 2. In changes of electrical pain threshold, it was significantly differenced between the groups(p<0.05). We conclude that the transdermal delivery of lidocaine gel by phonophoresis has a possibility to use for surface anesthesia and the pain control of the superficial tissue.

The purpose of this study was to know the effect of aquatic-exercise on muscle atrophy which induced by steroid injection. The forty-eight Sparague-Dawley adult male rats were assigned to the 4 groups; GroupI(distilled water injection), GroupII(steroid injection), GroupIII(distilled water injection and aquatic exercise), GroupIV(steroid injection and aquatic exercise). We observed their body weight, histological change by PAS stein. The results of this study were as follows; 1. After 2 weeks, the change of weights appeared that non-steroid injection groups increase weight and steroid injection groups decreased weight hasty. after 4 weeks, weights recovered from weight before test. It was possible to explain the change of weight by type II muscle fiber increase. 2. In histological change of muscle fibers, atrophy didn't observed in test group I, because type II muscle fibers were developed well. we observed not only injury of muscle fiber and muscle atrophy but specifically grouping type I muscle fiber in test group II. normal arrangement of muscle fibers were visible in test group and type II muscle fibers increased. we could observe muscle recovery because of type II muscle fibers increase in test group IV. therefore, it was seem that type II cell was recovering through aquatic exercise.

This study was to compared the effectiveness of piroxicam gel phonophoresis with conventional ultrasound therapy in knee osteoarthritis. Eighteen patients with a means age of $55.7{\pm}5$ years were randomly assigned to phonophoresis or ultrasound groups. Continuous ultrasonic waves of 1 MHz frequency and $1\;W/cm^2\;SATA_i$ were applied for 5 minutes to the target knee joint. This study indicated their pain level by marking on a visual analog scale(VAS) at the start of treatment and at the end of 3day. Osteoarthritis VAS scores, pain on rest state, non weight bearing range of motion, 20 meters walking, and walking step by the patients were evaluated before and after therapy. Both therapeutic modalities were found to be effective and generally well tolerated after 3 therapy sessions. But piroxicam phonophoresis was not superior to conventional ultrasound in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

The purpose of this study was to describe the alteration of stretch reflex and electrical activity of lower leg muscle in cerebral palsy by the water temperature. We used ten cerebral palsy. Participants classified according to each group in $29^{\circ}C$, $32^{\circ}C$, $35^{\circ}C$ by the water temperature. All subjects participated 3 session, which at least 1 week between session. The test was measured continuously pre test, post-test by thermometer and surface electromyography(sEMG). The following results were obtained; 1. Superficial temperature were significantly decreased in $29^{\circ}C$(p<0.001) group but were significantly increased $32^{\circ}C$, $35^{\circ}C$ group(p<0.001). 2. Muscle stretch reflex were significantly decreased in $32^{\circ}C$(p<0.05) and $35^{\circ}C$(p<0.001) group. 3. Stretch-evoked EMG were significantly increased in $29^{\circ}C$ group(p<0.01). These results lead us to the conclusion that changes of stretch reflex and electrical activity of lower leg muscle in cerebral palsy were influenced by the water temperature. Therefore, a further direction of this study will be to provide more evidence that a moderate water temperature have an effect on muscle tonus in a patient with cerebral palsy.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Halliwick 10 point program on the balance control. Fourteen undergraduate students participated in the experiment, and classified 7 experiment and 7 control group, randomly. Halliwick 10 point program was applied in the experiment group for 4 weeks. Balance index was measured using KAT 2000. Balance index were measured before, during(2 weeks), and after(4 weeks) the training for 4 weeks. 2-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to further distinguish between the groups. The following results were obtained; 1. The total balance index scores from a KAT were significantly decreased after 4 weeks compared with before the training passing of time. However there was no significant difference between experiment and control group. 2. The left and anterior shifting balance index scores from a KAT were significantly decreased after 4 weeks compared with before the training passing of time. However there was no significant difference between experiment and control group. These results lead us to the conclusion that the balance ability of women twenties increase as the water is higher than that of the ground applied Halliwick 10 point program of the water specific therapy province. Therefore, A further direction of this study will be to provide more evidence for Halliwick 10 point program in the water specific therapy.

The purpose of this study was to compare the application method of ultrasound on the alteration of pressure pain threshold of myofascial trigger points. We used thirty patients with mayofascial pain syndrome in upper trapezius. Participants classified according to each group in non noxious dose, noxious dose by the ultrasound. The test was measured continuously pre test, post-test by algometer. The following results were obtained; 1. Pressure pain threshold were significantly increased in non-noxious dose and noxious dose group(p<.001). 2. In noxious dose group, pressure pain threshold were more significantly increased than non-noxious dose group(p<.001). These results lead us to the conclusion that non-noxious dose and noxious dose were significantly increased pressure pain threshold of upper trapezius trigger points. Therefore, a further direction of this study will be to provide more evidence that noxious dose have more effect on pressure pain threshold of myofascial trigger points.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(TENS) on the alteration of pressure pain threshold of myofascial trigger points. We used fifty nine patients with upper trapezius mayofascial pain syndrome. Participants classified according to each group in conventional TENS(high rate, low intensity) and acupuncture like TENS(low rate, high intensity). The test was measured continuously pre test, post-test by algometer. The following results were obtained; 1. Pressure pain threshold were significantly increased in all groups(p<.001). 2. In comparison between groups, pressure pain threshold were not significantly differenced. These results lead us to the conclusion that each method by TENS were significantly increased pressure pain threshold of upper trapezius trigger points. Therefore, a further direction of this study will be to provide more evidence that TENS method have an effect on pressure pain threshold of myofascial trigger points.
