Purpose: This study evaluated of quality of life (QOL) and physical therapy satisfaction (PTS) in caregivers of cerebral palsy children. Methods: Eighty six caregivers in Gwang-ju were examined. The caregivers' QOL was assessed through self-reports using the WHO Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF), and the data was analyzed separately for each of its 5 domains. Physical therapy satisfaction was assessed using a self-reported questionnaire and the data was analyzed separately for the 2 domains. The results were processed by the mean and standard deviation and then verified by ANOVA and a t-test to determine the significant differences in the QOL and PTS. The factors affecting the QOL were processed by logistic regression. Results: Life environment domain of the QOL across the caregivers factors showed a statistically significant difference in age at natal, monthly income and education. The birth order in the cerebral palsy child factor showed a significant difference in the general, physical and emotional domain of the QOL. The PTS showed a significant difference in the delivery of therapy domain and in the birth order and walking condition of the environment domain. Caregivers education was found to be associated independently with the life environment domain of QOL. Conclusion: Because the QOL of caregivers is an important treatment goal for children with cerebral palsy, early family intervention should be considered.

This study aims to investigate the effect of Neuromuscular Re-education Program and Traditional Intervention Program and is focusing on the difference between changes of experimental before and after on 30 stroke patient's body composition, blood lipid levels, physical motor function. The obtained results are as follows; 1. Change in body composition 1) The change due to the Neuromuscular Re-education Program and Traditional Intervention Program before and after, the Fat Mass and Soft Lean Mass were changed but not significantly. 2) In the comparison of change according to duration, Significant differences were not shown in Fat Mass and Soft Lean Masss between The experimental group and control group. 2. Change in blood lipid levels 1) The change due to the Neuromuscular Re-education Program and Traditional intervention Program before and after, the Cholesterol, Glucose and TG were changed but not significantly. 2) In the comparison of change according to duration, Significant differences were not shown in the Cholesterol, Glucose and TG between the Experimental group and Control group. 3. Change in physical motor function 1) The change due to Neuromuscular Reeducation Program before and after. The physical motor function was significantly changed(p<0.01; p<0.05). but Traditional Intervention Program was changed but not significantly. 2) In the comparison of change according to duration, Signicant differences between the Experimental group and Control group was significantly changed in only the Neuromuscular Reeducation Program(p<0.05). In conclusion, The Neuromuscular Reeducation Program were not changed significantly but it can be said that the Neuromuscular Reeducation Program was more suitable for intervention to improve physical motor function of stroke patients than Traditional Intervention Program. Therefore if further studies increase the experimental duration of Reeducation Program and make the patient's reeducation continuously for improvement of physical motor function in stroke patient are needed.
