The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of constraint-induced movement therapy on the involved hand function and ADL in stroke patients. Five subjects with fixing unaffected arms by CIMT were assigned to the experimental patient group and the other five patients to control group without fixing unaffected arms. The function of hand for both groups were evaluated by using Jebsen-Taylor hand function test and ADL for both groups were evaluated by FIM(Functional Independence Measure) before and after task practice. In conclusion, results of this study showed that improved hand function and ADL by CIMT in stroke patients. We concluded that CIMT can improved the involved hand function and ADL in stroke patients.

It is critical to select an appropriate technology valuation method when the characteristics of a technology and valuation environment are variable. To ensure high quality decision making when selecting a technology valuation method, it is necessary to understand the principles of a good technology valuation method, and define and apply a decision making theory for selecting an optimal method. The authors propose that Axiomatic Design Principles can be applied as a decision making theory. In order to apply Axiomatic Design for this problem, this paper describes four domains(customer, functional, physical, and process domain) and four axioms(independence, information, cost, time axiom) for the decision making process for the optimal technology valuation method. The result of this study will contribute flexibility to the dynamic technology valuation process.

The main objectives of this study were to determine the differences in the personal. physical. socio-psychological characteristics of the elderly and the housing features according to housing types. This study classifed housing types into 4 types purchased apartment, public rental apartment charge-free institutional housing for the elderly and private housing facility for the elderly. On the basis of the findings. these al·e the following conclusions: Generally, the morale of residents in elderly facilities was higher than that of the apartment residents’. This result could support the development of senior housing in Korea Residents of rental apartment were younger and their functional health and level of independence were higher than that of others. Therefore rental housing would be an alternative housing for the independent low-income elderly. However the morale of rental housing residents was lower than that of ethers. The elderly housing facility residents’ recongnition of the housing managers’ leadership style was higher than that of the apartment residents’. This result ensures the importance of housing manager’s role in managing senior housing.

This study classifed housing types into 4 types : purchased apartment, public rental apartment, charge-free institiutional housing for the elderly and private housing facility for the elderly. On the basis of the findings. these are the following conclusions : Generally, the morale of residents in elderly facilities was higher that that of the apartment residents'. This result could support the development of senior housing in Korea. Residnets of rental apartment were younger and their functional health and level of independence were higher than those of others. Therefore, rental housing would be an alternative housing for the independent low-income elderly. However, the morale of rental housign residents was lower than that of others. The elderly housing facility residents' recongnition of the housing managers' leadershop style was higher than that of the apartment residents'.

The purpose of this study nun to obtain basic information about the state of the physically disabled due to neurological impairments in order to provide precise data for planning and evaluating the Community Based Rehabilitation in Uiwang. The results were 1) the total number of registered disabled adults with cerebral vascular accident in this city consulted was 80 and the Prevalence rate was 1.0575 of total disabled Persons, 2) under 100 of the score of activity of daily living(ADL) with the subjects was 41.245 as Functional Independence Measure(FIM) and 3) ender 20 of the score of motor ability with the subjects was $45.1\%$ as Motor Assessment Scale(MAS). This results show that rehabilitation program for community based rehabilitation(CBR) should set up for each level of motor ability and ADL.

Current trend of design technologies shows engineers to objectify or automate the given decision-making process. The numerical optimization is an example of such technologies. However, in numerical optimization, the uncertainties are uncontrollable to efficiently objectify or automate the process. To better manage these uncertainties, Taguchi method, reliability-based optimization and robust optimization are being used. Based on the independence axiom of axiomatic design theory that illustrates the relationship between desired specifications and design parameters, the designs can be classified into three types: uncoupled, decoupled and coupled. To best approach the target performance with the maximum robustness is one of the main functional requirements of a mechanical system. Most engineering designs are pertaining to either coupled or decoupled ones, but these designs cannot currently accomplish a real robustness thus a trade-off between performance and robustness has to be made. In this research, the game theory will be applied to optimize the trade-off.

It was aimed to report a case of both anterior cerebral artery territory infarction patient improved by korean medical treatment. The patient was diagnosed by brain magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography(MRA). The symptoms were quadriplegia, urinary frequency, urinary incontinence and abulia. I applied herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, pharmacopuncture, cupping and physical exercise therapy. As a result of them, the symptoms of the patient were improved considerably. Status of the patient was evaluated by manaul muscle test(MMT), modified barthel index(MBI) and functional independence measure(FIM) and medical interview. MBI score was changed from 35 to 95 and FIM score was changed from 66 to 115. Therefore this report suggests that korean medical treatment could be effective to the anterior cerebral artery territory infarction.

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.

In order to execute the major role as the high density large capacity data storage device, which is one of the major characteristics of DVD(Digital Versatile Disk), there must be a method to effectively absorb the external impact or internal vibration. The DVD which has been developed until now tries to control two different types of vibrations, using only one absorber. But this goes against the independence Axiom of Axiomatic Approach which makes the design to be coupled. And in fat most of the malfunctions occurring during DVD data input/output is due to impact or vibration. Therefore in this paper, the vibration absorption system and operation reliability of DVD will be evaluated with the Axiomatic Approach and plans and feasibility to design an improved vibration absorption system will be provided also based on the Axiomatic Approach.
