This study was to investigate the balancing and clinical abilities using stable and unstable surface of stroke patients who surface changes in balance of body. The subjects of this study were 30 stroke patients(16 males and 14 females). They were separated into two groups and did balance reinforcing exercise on stable and unstable surfaces for five times a week for six weeks. To evaluate their balancing ability, they performed functional standing balance test, functional forward arm stretching test. performance-oriented mobility assessment was performed. The balancing exercises were modified from preceding studies and consisted of 6 difference exercises. The functional standing test with open and close eyes and performance-oriented mobility assessment, the unstable surface exercise group and the stable surface exercise group improved significantly. The forward arm stretching test was the unstable surface exercise group improved. This study found that the balancing exercise on unstable surface was more effective than on stable surface for stroke patients. Thus, exercise on unstable surface has more positive effects on the improvement of balancing abilities of stroke patients.

The purpose of this study was to establish the relationship between social support(MOS-SSS) and cognitive impairment(MMSE-K) to the elderly in long-term care facilities. The study subjects were 372 aged 65 and older who were admitted to care facilities located in D metropolitan city. Data were collected through a personal interview conducted by interviewers who visited each care facility in October 2018. As a result, the levels of cognitive impairment(MMSE-K) was significantly higher in the group with lower social support(MOS-SSS) scores. In correlation to the cognitive impairment and social support, the cognitive impairment score showed a significant positive correlation between the social support score (r=0.250, p<0.001). Therefore, the lower the social support level, the higher the level of cognitive impairment. In result of the logistic regression, the risk ratio of critical cognitive impairment increased significantly from 2.8 times (ORs=2.75, 95% CI=1.40 to 5.79) in the low group(Q1) than in the very high group(Q4) of social support scores. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis shows that the lower the social support, the higher the cognitive impairment. As such research suggests that the cognitive impairment of the elderly in care facilities increases with lower social support, it is necessary to seek concrete measures to improve social support as part of the measures to enhance the recognition capability of the elderly in care facilities.

This study aimed (a) to examine the association between chronic illness and multidimensional disability(i.e., psychological/emotional functions, activity capacity, and participation frequency) among older adults with disabilities, (b) to investigate the effect of formal and informal supports on multidimensional disability, and (c) to analyze the moderating effects of formal and informal supports on the association between chronic illness and multidimensional disability. This study used 2014 Korea Welfare Panel Study(the 9th wave) data and 450 older adults with disabilities aged 50 and over were selected as the study target. The research model was analyzed by structural equation modeling using IBM AMOS 22.0. Based on the ICF framework developed by WHO, health condition was measured by the level of chronic illness; psychological/emotional functions were measured by health satisfaction, self-esteem, and depression; activity capacity was measured by ADLs and IADLs; participation frequency was measured by the total number of social activities joined; formal support was measured by the total number of formal welfare services for people with disabilities utilized; informal support was measured by perceived social support. The findings showed that the level of chronic illness was negatively associated with psychological/emotional functions among the older adults with disabilities. The informal support positively affected psychological/emotional functions and activity capacity, whereas the formal support showed the opposite result. That is, the formal support negatively influenced activity capacity and showed a moderating effect on the association between the level of chronic illness and the psychological/emotional functions in a reverse way. Based on the results, practice and policy implications for alleviating disability level among the older adults with disabilities were discussed.

This study examined the relationship between social support, social participation and physical functioning among older adults in community senior centers. The subjects of this study were 194 persons aged 60 years or older who participated in the senior center in K province and D city, from June 16 to June 30, 2016. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, T-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, and structural model analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0 and IBM AMOS 21.0. The result showed that the social support and physical functioning of the elderly in the community were above normal, and social participation was somewhat low. Interestingly, an analysis of the physical functioning between social support, social participation and depression revealed significant correlations. The factors affecting the physical health were 23.4% of the respondents who had a significant influence on social support and leisure activities. In addition, the result of structural model analysis showed that social support had a significant influence on the social participation, depression and physical functioning. Therefore, the results suggests that the development of educational programs and an age-friendly environment should be actively provided to older adults in the community by strengthening the physical function through social support for active ageing.

최근 자동차기술의 발달로 인한 차량의 경량화, 고급화 추세는 더욱 개선된 승차감을 요구하고 있다. 승차감에 영향을 미치는 주요인으로서는 엔진의 진동과 소음, 변속장치, 구동축 등의 구동 계통의 진동 및 소음, 그리고 노면으로부터의 진동, 외부 공기의 흐름에 의한 소음 등 여러가지가 있다. 엔진지지계는 이중 엔진의 진동 및 소음을 절연하는 기능을 맡고 있고 동시에 엔진하중의 지지, 변위제한, 충격흡수 등의 기능도 가지고 있다. 실제에 있어서 엔진지지계는 진동 및 소음 절연의 기능 외에 다른 기능도 갖고 있으나 이중 가장 어렵고 해석이 곤란한 것은 결국 진동절 연성능이라고 할 수 있다. 그러나 여러 가지 제약조건이 있으므로 최적의 진동절연특성의 실 현이 항상 가능한 것은 아니고 방진고무의 특성치난 지지각도 등의 어느 범위안에서만 선택이 가능하므로 실제 설계에 있어서는 적용상의 특정조건을 만족시키는 초기설계치를 정하여 그때의 진동절연특성을 평가하고 기준이하일때는 설계치를 재조정하여 다시 평가하는 접근방식이 실질 적이다. 따라서 이 설계과정에 필요한 엔진지지계의 진동절연특성해석 및 평가용 컴퓨터 프로 그램을 개발하였으며 그 해석치와 실험결과를 비교하여 타당성을 입증하였다.

This study seeks to discuss the effects of social support, acceptance of disability, and the sense of economic stability on the part of parents of children with developmental disabilities who are receiving treatment and training at a child development center has on family function. A survey was given to 252 parents of children who were using the child development center in S city. In the relationship between social support and family function, the mediating effects of the disability acceptance and the social support, the disability acceptance and the family function were used to verify the adjustment effect of the economic stability. The results of this study are as follows. First, as a result of checking the moderating effect of economic stabilization, social support, family function, disability acceptance and family function did not show any effect on economic stability. Second, as a result of verifying whether the relationship between social support and family function is mediated by disability acceptance, disability acceptance partially mediated the relationship between social support and family function. This study is significant in that it provided basic data for the development of a program to help children with developmental disabilities function properly.
