The purpose of this paper is to review changes in articular cartilage properties from the joint immobilization. Joint immobilization is accompanied not only by many disorders including rheumatologic disorders, degenerative disorders, trauma and fracture but treatment for disorders. Articular cartilage are sensitive to mechanical events. Immobilization is associated with cartilage degradation that may cause joint pain and reduced range of motion. An understanding of the effects of immobilization on the articular cartilage will help to plan of physical therapy program

최근 교통사고의 증가와 평균수명의 연장으로 인한 노인 인구의 급증으로 중추신경계의 기능에 손상을 초래하는 각종 질환들 즉 뇌졸중, 외상성 뇌손상, 뇌성마비 및 퇴행성 뇌질환 등이 더욱 많아지고 있다. 이러한 질환들은 뇌기능 장애로 인한 운동, 감각 및 인지능력 저하를 일으켜 보행과 일상생활 동작수행에 큰 장해를 초래하게 된다. 특히 보행능력의 장해는 일상생활 및 사회생활에 필요한 기동력을 제한하므로 결국 타인에 의존적이 되고 사회로부터 고립되는 심각한 기능장애를 일으키게 된다.(중략)

Purpose: Rotator cuff disease is the most common shoulder disease. Rotator cuff tear, which is related to cuff tendon degeneration, is commonly encountered in clinical practice. Materials and Methods: Knowledge about the biology of the normal rotator cuff is fundamental to understanding the pathophysiology of and degenerative processes in rotator cuff tendon tears. Furthermore, such basic knowledge provides a rationale for and facilitates the development of treatment modalities. Results and Conclusion: Therefore, we reviewed the biology of the normal rotator cuff tendon, theories to explain the pathophysiology of rotator cuff tendon tear, and current research on apoptosis of rotator cuff tenofibroblasts.

Objectives : A growing body of evidence links type 2 diabetes (T2D) with a neurodegenerative disease (ND) such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between NDs and the development of T2D by comparing the incidence of T2D in a group of various NDs (ND group) and control group. Methods : A population-based 10-year follow-up study was conducted using the Korean National Health Information Database for 2002-2015. We used a retrospective cohort study design to investigate the association of ND with T2D occurrence. The study population included ND (n=8,814) and control (n=37,970) groups, all aged 60 years or over. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the risk of developing T2D as a function of time. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to evaluate the relationship between ND and T2D. Results : T2D was developed in a significantly higher percentage of patients in the ND group (53.6%) than in the control group (44.7%). The ND group increased the risk of T2D (HR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.38-1.47). About one-third of patients in both groups were additionally diagnosed with another ND before the occurrence of T2D during a 10-year follow-up period. When compared to those who did not have another ND during the follow-up period, the incidence of T2D in those who were additionally diagnosed with another ND was higher in both the ND and control groups. Conclusions : The ND group had about 1.4 times higher risk of developing T2D than the control group. Our results showed a positive association between ND and T2D.
