In South Korea, few researches have been conducted into the incidence of injury diseases and into their demographic and sociologic characteristics. This research has estimated and analyzed the results of an questionnaire investigation carried out by the Korea medical panel (2008) and the social economic costs. In particular, an estimation has been conducted of social costs for each type of accident, injury and intoxication and of medical use for the injuries. For the future, it is necessary to develop concrete programs customized for age, education level, economic income and to continually implement injury prevention education, with a view to reducing the injury incidence and medical expenses; and also, individuals' participation in and social and national efforts are required for an efficient operation of the health insurance, for the purpose of reducing social and/or economic costs for injuries in South Korea.

For the tooth traumas of children, instant and appropriate treatment is one of the important factors to determine prognosis of traumatized teeth. Especially in case of avulsed tooth, prognosis is greatly affected by instant and appropriate emergency treatment. The objective of this survey was to investigate elementary school teachers? knowledge of first aid treatment for tooth traumas of children. We asked for 520 elementary school teachers in Busan to answer questionnaires and 455(87.5%) were returned. The result of the survey supports that knowledge of tooth is little understood except general information about the treatment of tooth traumas. And it also shows that practical treatment is poor and instruction of medical treatment is not generally known Furthermore most teachers agreed that expert education for prevention and cure of tooth traumas is necessary (81.8%) and mouth protector is also necessary (71.9%) for the prevention. The result leads to the conclusion that educations on the prevention and emergency treatment of tooth traumas of elementary children who are physically active are needed.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of elderly motorcycle accidents according to data from elderly inpatients to prepare prevention measures for the elderly against injury in motorcycle accidents. Chi-squared test, independent sample t-test, and canonical correlation analysis were performed on the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency's National Hospital Discharge In-depth Injury Survey data from 2015 to 2019, from which the records of 1,384 elderly inpatients hospitalized because of motorcycle accidents were obtained. intracranial injury(S06) was the most common care and treatment characteristic for both age groups. The most frequent injury site was the head and neck, and the most frequent injury type was a fracture. The above findings show that prevention education and policy formulation at the national level are necessary to identify and manage the factors of elderly motorcycle accidents. This study provides basic data for developing measures and policies to prevent and reduce injuries, making it significant for public health causes.

This study aimed to understand the differences in general characteristics, principal diagnosis, injury-related characteristics, and types of transportation accidents between young-old and old-old patients who were hospitalized owing to injury based on data from the Korean National Hospital Discharge In-Depth Injury Surveys. We used a complex sample cross tabulation analysis (chi-square test) and complex sample generalized linear model (t-test). Therefore, the primary focus of healthcare professionals working with the old-old should prevent falls in the home and increase the available medical care, financial aid plans, and psychosocial support for aging. Additionally education on traffic accident prevention and road safety is particularly important for old-old patients.

Objective: Recently, inline skates are populary increasing and have become major recreational activities. This study was performed to determine the effective prevention means on various extremity injury by investigating injury severity occording to acute injury and overuse injury. Results: Acute inline skating injury was experienced mostly among the age between 6$\~$14 years old children after school around nearby their home without using no appropriate safety device gear. The wrist injury was mostly happened. We think that overuse injury is related to boot itself, boot fitting and improper skating techniques. Conclusion: So afterall, appropriate safety equipment wearing in inline skating at the safe place after learning about the skating skills can reduce the acute inline skating extremity injuries. Choosing a pair of good fitting boots, performing the exact pushing techniques and take good rests in the middle of skating frequently can reduce the overuse injury.

The purpose of this study is to examine the current status of the Injury based on the 7th National Data on the National Health and Nutrition Survey, identify the relationship between general characteristics, safety awareness, health status, injury, and identify the factors that affect the occurrence of injury. The subjects were selected for the final analysis of 1,608data. For the analysis, frequency analysis, cross analysis, and multiple logistic regression analysis were performed. the results of the study show that in the young-old elderly, gender(woman), marital status(separated of divorced), lower the awareness of safety, body discomfort, sickness, and in-outpatient, Annual unmet medical service experienced are higher the occurrence of injury. Therefore, as a prevention education that lowers the incidence of injury. selective education is required for the Young-old and Old-old elderly, and legal penalties for drunk driving on various means of transportation and an integrated approach to strengthening and education is required.

이 연구는 현 트렌드에 발맞추어 손상예방, 트레이닝 수업에 보다 양질의 피드백을 제공하여 보다 효율적이고 효과적인 교육프로그램 개선 및 개발하는데 목적이 있다. 부하가 증가될수록 우측 외측광근, 대퇴이두근과 좌측 내측광근, 대퇴이두근, 비복근이 활성도과 증가하였으며, 발의압력은 앞쪽이 증가하였으며 COG 좌/우 안정성이 감소하였다. 초보자들은 자신의 동작이 정확히 인지하고 수행하는지 어려움을 가지고 있으며 선수와 숙련자들은 강력한 근육을 바탕으로 보상작용을 수행해서 정확한 동작을 만들어 결국 근육의 불균형으로 인한 손상을 유발하기도 한다. 이러한 문제점을 웨어러블 기기를 이용하여 즉각적인 피드백을 제공할 수 있어 효율적인 운동지도를 할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

I always close the lid of a shot of Novocain after doing local anesthesia (1.86 points)" and "20. I separate and collect the wastes and give them to those who treat accumulated materials (1.85 points)". Meanwhile, the questions with low practice scores were as below: "16.
