The purpose of this study was to analyze sports injuries in athletes with disabilities during the 2015 National Games in Korea. We conducted a survey to assess sport injuries in 171 male athletes with disabilities who participated in this study. The shoulder was most frequently injured, followed by the fingers and low back. Contusions were the most common type of injury, and were usually caused by collisions with teammates or contact with equipment. Injuries often occur during enthusiastic play in both competition and practice sessions. Injured athletes are emergently treated with medicated spray and patch application by the head coach. Warm-up and cool-down exercises are recommended to prevent injury, and physical therapy is effective after an injury occurs. Based on these findings, an injury prevention training program and athletic trainers should be provided for athletes with disabilities to ensure appropriate care and rehabilitation.

Thermal analysis properties and adhesive properties of self-healing agents were evaluated through differential scanning calorimetry, reaction heat measurement, and adhesive shear test. D1E0, D3E1, D1E1, D1E3, and D0E1, depending on the mixing ratio of DCPD and ENB, were considered as self-healing agents. The amount of Grubbs' catalyst, depending on the type of self-healing agents, was varied from 0.1 wt% to 1.5 wt%. In the case of DCPD, the polymerization reaction occurred faster and the stabilized adhesive strength increased as the amount of catalyst increased; however, a large amount of catalyst was required. ENB had excellent reactivity with a small amount of the catalyst; however, high reaction heat was observed at the early stage of polymerization. Thermal analysis properties and adhesive properties of self-healing agents can be controlled by varying a mixing ratio of DCPD and ENB. Among the self-healing agents used for this study, the D3E1 would be one of the most preferable candidates with regard to maximum adhesive strength, reaching time to maximum adhesive strength, stabilized adhesive strength, and reaction heat.

This study aims to analyze the factors affecting the length of stay in elderly pediatric inpatients in traffic accidents. We used Korean National Hospital Discharge In-depth Injury data on the discharged from 2012 to 2016. Statistically significant factors affecting the length of stay are admission route, Charlson Comorbidity Index(CCI), injury parts, operation, results, hospital area, and beds for hospitals. The length of stay was shorter in the case of the admission route of the outpatient department than the emergency room, the results were not improved or death rather than improved, and the bed size was 500-999 beds or over 1000 beds rather than 100-299 beds. However, the length of stay was longer in the case of CCI score was 1-2 or over 3 rather than 0, injury parts were other parts rather than head/neck, when the operation was yes, and when the hospital area was a province, metropolitan rather than Seoul. This study intends to understand the medical characteristics of inpatient to prevent pedestrian traffic accidents in accordance with the population aging. Based on this finding, we wish to be used as the basic data for the establishment of policies to effectively manage traffic safety and medical resources in consideration of the characteristics of the elderly people.

The purpose of this study is to compare DNA repair characteristics of normal fibroblast cell (MRC-5) and neuroblastoma cell (SK-N-SH) induced by proton beam. Cells were irradiated with 2Gy, 5Gy and 8Gy proton beam. The rate of DNA rejoining was measured by alkaline version of the comet assay. After a repair time, tail moment was measured again. The tail moment of MRC-5 was lower than SK-N-SH. However, after 8Gy of exposure, the tail moment of MRC-5 was measured as 50.320223.17155 which represents dangerous level of DNA damage. The cells were repaired practically within 25 hours after 2 and 5Gy of exposure while they were not fully recovered after 8Gy of exposure. Especially, tail moment of MRC-5 after 25 hours was 18.15364.42849. In the distal declining edge of SOBP, the RBE value is increased by high LET. The RBE differences of SOBP in high-dose were greater than low-dose. After the high-dose exposure, MRC-5 of normal fibroblast cell could lead to lasting DNA damage as shown in this study. In conclusion, we has to pay special attention when the region of the treatment volume is close to sensitive tissues.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence on respiration, oral motor and articulation using wind-instrument centered music therapy for patients with cervical cord injury who need continuous train of respiratory muscle. Three patients with cervical cord injury who needed continuous training of respiratory muscle were selected and post data was analyzed. The harmonica using both exhalation and inspiration was selected as an wind-instrument. Each session was taken 30 ~ 40 minutes, once a week from total 6 weeks with small group. Material about every session's work was provided for individual to maintain practice after program. Oral motor and articulation test was done to assess reflecting features of maximal expiratory flow and wind-instrument of factor related breath. Maximal expiratory flow has increased by average 25ml more, articulation has increased by 3.16 points more and the movement of oral motor has increased 11.67 points more than pre-test from the analyzation. In the comparison of the details, the increase of oral motor function was confirmed from scores on the jaw and tongue except for the lips. Based on the results of this study, this study suggests that wind-instrument centered music therapy will be a practical and effective intervention for respiratory rehabilitation in patients with cervical cord injury.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors for shoulder pain in manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injuries and to explore the correlation between shoulder pain and quality of life. Methods : Out of 182 participants initially included, 168 were selected for analysis. The questionnaire had 41 questions, with 15 on the Wheelchair User's Shoulder Pain Index (WUSPI) and 26 on the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF). Results : It was found that participants' scored 50.75 in the WUSPI, whereas they scored higher in mobility and overhead activity. In addition, participants' WHOQOL-BREF scored 70.48, with a mean score of 2.71, which was lower than ordinary adults' WHOQOL-BREF (mean: 3.11) and that of older people suffering from chronic musculoskeletal system pain (total score: 77.92). Conclusion : The participants' WUSPI showed negative correlations with all items, including the total scores on the WHOQOL-BREF. This suggests that the participants' shoulder pain had a negative impact on their quality of life. Therefore, clinical experts, including occupational therapists, should provide manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injuries with programs aimed at preventing and managing shoulder pain, thereby contributing to improving their quality of life.
