This paper is to show the history and the brief present situation, the further vision and the considerations of Vojta physical therapy. Since Vojta therapy has been introduced into Korea in 1980, the workshop had the total 7 times and has produced 76 Vojta physical therapist during the past 15 year. But Vojta thrapist members have a gradually declining tendency in the present state. The counterplans for the considerations as follows; 1) Physician and Vojta therapist must be concerned about the growth of Vojta diagnosis and therapy. 2) As the medical examination and treatment system's establishment, an early infant's tretment will be performed. 3) The course of workshop in Korea must be admitted to be a regular qualification by the Vojta center of Germany. 4) Cerebral palsy treatment need home care system by Vojta therapist. 5) Vojta therapist has to reside in a public health center.

There are a lot of dental emergency situation. Especially on disabled or pediatric patient with negative behavior, accidental aspiration or ingestion of foreign body (ex: dental instrument) is one of the common accidents in dental procedure. Dentists and dental hygienists must have knowledge about the precaution and be ready to deal with foreign body aspiration during dental treatment, especially on the disabled. This is a case of an accident during the dental treatment of 14-year-old female patient with cerebral palsy. During scaling, prolonged retained primary tooth which had resorbed roots was fell into left bronchi. So we tried to remove the crown by endotracheal approach. Most ingested foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract spontaneously, but some of them need endoscopic or surgical removal. Moreover aspiration into broncho-trachea can be more serious events and must be treated as emergency situation.

The author studied on the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index in the handicapped children, who are housed by several rehabilitation institution age from 3 to 17 year in Seoul area and 439 normal children as a control group. The obtained results are as follows: 1) In the Oral Hygiene Index(OHI), The handicapped children showed remarkable increment compared to normal children(The Index score was 2.00 in cerebral palsy children, 1.94 in poliomyelitis, 1.79 in other's diseased children, in 1.01 in normal children) and the score was increased as age increment. 2) In the OHI of the handicapped children, male was higher than female. 3) Dental calculus deposition in the handicapped children was severe in the lower anterior teeth and least in the upper anterior teeth. 4) Dental calculus Index of the handicapped children was comparatively higher in the region which had higher food debris index. 5) As the conculusion of this study, we found that continuous and active dental enlightenment and treatment for oral health in the handicapped children are necessary.

There is a delicate balance between too little and too much supplemental oxygen exposure in premature infants. Since underuse and overuse of supplemental oxygen can harm premature infants, oxygen saturation levels must be monitored and kept at less than 95% to prevent reactive oxygen species-related diseases, such as retinopathy of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. At the same time, desaturation below 80 to 85% must be avoided to prevent adverse consequences, such as cerebral palsy. It is still unclear what range of oxygen saturation is appropriate for premature infants; however, until the results of further studies are available, a reasonable target for pulse oxygen saturation ($SpO_2$) is 90 to 93% with an intermittent review of the correlation between $SpO_2$ and the partial pressure of arterial oxygen tension ($PaO_2$). Because optimal oxygenation depends on individuals at the bedside making ongoing adjustments, each unit must define an optimal target range and set alarm limits according to their own equipment or conditions. All staff must be aware of these values and adjust the concentration of supplemental oxygen frequently.

Minamata disease made its first appearance in the world at Minamata City, Kumamoto Prefecture, in May 1956. In 1962 methyl mercury poisoning through the placenta was found for the first time in the world. This was called congenital Minamata disease. In all cases the clinical symptoms were consistent with those of cerebral palsy. The time and place of outbreak were the same as those for Minamata disease. Their mothers had eaten fish and shellfish during pregnancy. The principal symptoms of congenital Minamata disease are mentalretardation ($100\%$); primitive reflexes ($100\%$); disturbance of coordination ($100\%$); dysarthria ($100\%$); limb deformation (100%); growth disorders ($100\%$); nutritional disorders ($100\%$); chorea-athetose ($95\%$); and hypersalivation ($95\%$). However, today, when the world is polluted by mercury in various places and at various levels, the data we need is not represented by those severe cases, but rather by the chronic milder type. Even in Minamata, the issue of Minamata disease has not been resolved. And likewise, on a global scale the problem of Minamata disease is not yet over.

Obturator nerve block has been used for analgesia of hip pain, relaxation of adductor muscle spasm related to cerebral palsy or paraplegia and in urologic surgery to prevent inadvertent obturator activity during lateral wall cystoscopy. Recently, ultrasound guidance has gained popularity in the field of peripheral nerve block and have been reported in some benefits. We describe here successfully performed both obturator nerve block under ultrasound guidance.

Physical therapy for patients with Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Spinal cord injury. Osteoporosis, CVA and Cerebral Palsy often includes the evaluating and teaching of rolling movements. Motor abilities such as rolling from a supine to a prone position, moving to sitting. getting up on all fours and ultimately standing up from a supine position. represents progression toward physical independence. Rolling is important functional abilities for need to dressing, decubit prevent. bed mobility, neck control, crawling, creeping, sitting, standing and walking. The purposes of this study were to describe motor development concept and rolling task patterns and to approach the therapeutic exercises.

Objectives : Developmental disorder include every disorder that obstruct functional developments. For example, Mental Retardation, Autism, Developmental Academic Skill Disorder, Developmental Language Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, Tic Disorder(Tourette's Disorder), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Brain injury etc. Methods : Chinese medical circles study herbs, acupuncture and cooperate Western medicine for treat the Developmental disorder variety. So, we research Chinese and Korean Medical Journal from 1990 to 2003, choose the Acupuncture Therapy. Results : Acupuncture Therapy include head needling, body acupuncture, ear-acupuncture therapy, therapy of point injection. By these ways control brain, the brain's marrow, liver, kidney, heart and treat the developmental disorder effective.

본 연구에서는 뇌병변 복지관에서 장애인 이동형태에 따른 속도를 측정하기 위해서 두가지 실험을 실시하였다. 첫째는 평상시의 이동속도를 측정하였고, 두 번째로 화재나 재난상황을 가정으로, 실제 대피 실험을 하여 이동속도를 측정하였다. 측정결과를 정상인과의 비교를 통해 분석하고, 장애인 시설 피난 안전에 관한 기준 마련을 위한 기초데이터를 제공한다. 실험 결과 뇌병변 장애인들은 정상인들에 비해 평균이동속도가 현저히 느리고 거동이 불편한 이들이 있기 때문에 표준편차가 큰 값을 갖고 있다. 따라서 대피시의 피난성공을 위한 피난 기준 및 시설 확충이 필요한 것을 확인하였다.

Objective : Rett syndrome is a neurological disorder occurring primarily in girls. By process of treatment for a case which was diagnosed as Rett syndrome and out patient department treatment from the 12th, April, 1999 to November, 2001, the results are as follows. Method & Results : This patient was diagnosed as five-development disorders categories(五遲, 五軟), medicated with Yukmijihwang-tang(Liuweidihwang-tang, 六味地黃湯) and Kyejigayonggolmoryu-tang(Guizhijialonggu-tang, 柱枝加龍骨牡蠣湯). And acupunture therapy was taken on Shinjyungkyuk(shenchongge, 腎正格) and Paekoe(百會 GV 20), Taechu(大椎 GV 14), Renzhong(人中 GV 26). As a result, the patient's hypotonia and intermittent seizures were improved. Conclusion: Rett syndrome is most often misdiagnosed as autism, cerebral palsy or non-specific developmental delay. In oriental medicine, RS can be diagnosed as five development disorders categories (五遲, 五軟) and oriental medication with acupuncture treatment can improve RS patient's conditions.
