This study was understood the risk mechanism of falls in the elderly and reviewed previous research data to see if the principle of Pilates rehabilitation exercise could have a positive effect on balance ability and postural stabilization in the elderly, and the purpose of this study is to present literature-based data on the fall prevention effect of rehabilitation Pilates exercise. First, the rehabilitation Pilates exercise makes it available for strengthening the center of the body to stabilize the spine and pelvis and stimulates the nerve root, thereby having an effect on the balance and the joint stabilization. Second, a proprioceptive sensory impairment and a musculoskeletal degenerative disease due to aging increase the loss of balance ability and the instability in posture maintenance, thereby coming to raise the risk of a fall damage caused by the difficulty in performing motor functions and by the gait disturbance. Third, the rehabilitation Pilates exercise leads to improving the core muscle strength in older adults, resulting in being capable of expecting the betterment in the balance and the reaction time motor function. And there is a positive impact on the improvement in body imbalance and on the stability in movement involved in the fall prevention, resulting in being able to suggest the possibility of likely contributing to a reduction in a fall risk rate. In conclusion, the rehabilitation Pilates as the elderly exercise program showed effects on the improvement in the body's muscular strength, on the upgrade in a sense of balance, and on the stabilization of core. Thus, it was considered to diminish the risk factors for a fall damage caused by musculoskeletal degeneration and to be capable of preventing a serious disorder of activity due to a chronic senile disease.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of self-efficacy promoting pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: thirty six patients, with clinically stable COPD were randomly assigned: 18 to a rehabilitation group and another 18 as a control group, The subjects participated in a the self-efficacy promoting pulmonary rehabilitation program for 8 weeks. This program consisted of education, breathing retraining, exercise training, relaxation and counseling. The control group received education only. The outcome variables were self-efficacy, dyspnea, exercise endurance, pulmonary function, and quality of life. Dyspnea was measured using the modified Borg scale. Exercise endurance was measured by the six minute walking distance. The quality of life was measured by the quality of life index for pulmonary disease patients. Results: In the rehabilitation group after performing the self-efficacy promoting pulmonary rehabilitation program, the self-efficacy score, exercise endurance, and quality of life score were higher than the control group (p=0.007, p=0.038, and p=0.039, respectively). and the exertional dyspnea score was significantly lower than controls(p=0.045). However, the dyspnea score and FEV1 were similar after performing the self-efficacy promoting pulmonary rehabilitation program. Conclusion: The self-efficacy promoting pulmonary rehabilitation program is effective to in improve self-efficacy, exertional dyspnea, exercise endurance and quality of life in patients with COPD.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of telerehabilitation on stroke patients through remotely operated intervention and monitoring. Methods: Literature from 2000 to April 2018 was collected through PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and RISS. We used telerehabilitation, telemedicine, and stroke as the search terms in regard to foreign literature, and the terms telerehabilitation, stroke, and CVA in regard to Korean literature. A total of 406 foreign and 15 Korean published studies were found. As a result, a total of seven documents was selected for the analysis. Results: As a result of the analysis, all the interventions applied through telerehabilitation were provided remotely, and significant effects were reported between pre-post assessments. In addition, the significant effects of telerehabilitation were reported through analyzing pre-post(n=7) and between groups(n=4) assessments. The monitoring used could be categorized according to purpose, that is, for checking (n=3) and as an intervention (n=4). Conclusions: This study confirmed, within limits, that the application of telerehabilitation could be a potential alternative for stroke patients with limited rehabilitation services. In order to apply telerehabilitation in Korea, it is necessary to study the cost effectiveness, according to the current domestic situation, and confirm the most effective monitoring method based on the intervention.

In this paper, we propose an edge computing-based exercise data collection device that can be provided for exercise rehabilitation services. In the existing cloud computing method, when the number of users increases, the throughput of the data center increases, causing a lot of delay. In this paper, we design and implement a device that measures and estimates the position of keypoints of body joints for movement information collected by a 3D camera from the user's side using edge computing and transmits them to the server. This can build a seamless information collection environment without load on the cloud system. The results of this study can be utilized in a personalized rehabilitation exercise coaching system through IoT and edge computing technologies for various users who want exercise rehabilitation.

The purpose of this study is to find out how underwater rehabilitation exercises affect physical fitness and blood lipids for 10 weeks and provide basic data to help prevent middle-aged women from cardiovascular diseases. The subjects of this study were middle-aged women living in Seoul, Korea. The underwater rehabilitation exercise was performed for 1 week and 3 times for 10 weeks, and the exercise time was 60 minutes for 1 time including the warm up, the main exercise and the cool down. The exercise intensity was set at 60-70% of the heart rate reserve calculated from the pre-exercise test. The measurement variables were physical fitness and blood lipid. In the data processing, descriptive statistics were presented for each measurement item and a 2-way RGRM ANOVA was conducted to examine the interaction effects between groups. The results have shown significant interaction effects in physical fitness(Flexibility, Cardiorespiratory Endurance, Muscular Endurance) and the blood lipids(TG, TC, HLD-C, LDL-C). This study found that the 10-week underwater rehabilitation exercise program of middle-aged women increased physical fitness level and decreased and increased blood lipid, which could be an effective and convergent program to prevent and reduce cardiovascular disease.
