사람들이 신체를 다친 경우 의료기관에서 치료를 것이 보통이다. 하지만 몇몇 환부에 따라서 추가적인 재활이 필요한 경우도 존재한다. 이러한 의료기관은 규모에 따른 재활프로그램에 큰 차이가 있으며, 규모가 작은 대개의 의료기관의 재활프로그램은 의사와 환자의 구두로 진행이 되는 것이 문제점이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 소규모 의료기관에서의 재활치료에 정확도와 신뢰성을 보조하기 위해서 신체의 접촉과 힘을 계측할 수 있는 센서들을 대체 및 조합하여 촉각 센서와 유사한 기능을 가지는 대체 촉각 센서를 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 퍼셉트론 신경망을 적용시켜 접촉 평가를 패턴에 따라 확인하는 알고리즘을 적용하였다.

A 57-year-old male patient was diagnosed as Incomplete cervical spinal cord injury and Neurogenic bladder after falling accident and suffered from tetraplegia and urinary retention. The patient was hospitalized and treated with Complex Korean Medical treatment such as acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, bee venom pharmacopuncture and herbal medication for 13 weeks. International Standard for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) was adopted to evaluate the functional recovery and Korean version of Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI) was adopted to evaluate the recovery of activities of daily living (ADL). After treatment, Total scores of ISNCSCI and K-MBI were improved. Also patient's micturition reflex was recovered and symptoms of neurogenic bladder were improved. This result shows that Korean Medical treatment may be an effective treatment option for spinal cord injury and neurogenic bladder patients. Further clinical studies are needed to clarify the effect of Korean Medical treatment on spinal cord injury.

Objectives To obtain future research basis of Korean Medicine for total knee arthroplasty patient by analyzing medical and Korean Medical service utilization and treatment duration. Methods Data sampling was performed on Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service patient data of 2015 (Confidence level of 97%) to analyze patients' medical and Korean Medical service tendency. Sampling groups were divided into two groups; i) Patients who completed their treatment within 5 months of total knee arthroplasty, ii) Patients who continued their treatment after 5 months of total knee arthroplasty, to investigate patients' medical and Korean Medical service tendency and individual characteristics were carefully monitored. Results It was confirmed that total of 1,655 patients had gone through total knee arthroplasty out of 1,453,486 patients who were gathered for sampling. First sampling group (Patients who completed their treatment within 5 months of total knee arthroplasty) was 287 patients and second sampling group (Patients who continued their treatment after 5 months of total knee arthroplasty) was 385 patients. The proportion of patients who visited Korean Medical service in first sampling group was lower than that of second sampling group. Conclusions It was confirmed that medical and Korean Medical service and cost consumed by second group (Patients who continued their treatment after 5 months of total knee arthroplasty) was higher than that of first group (Patients who continued their treatment after 5 months of total knee arthroplasty). It is highly recommended to continue with further study for efficient medical and Korean Medical service and reduced cost.

본 연구의 목적은 독일과 일본의 재활체육 서비스 지원체계를 분석하여 한국에 적용 가능한 지역사회 기반의 장애인 건강권 확보를 위한 재활체육 서비스 지원방안을 제시하는 것이다. 이 연구를 위해 문헌 검토 및 일본을 직접 방문조사하여 재활체육의 운영 배경 및 발전 상황, 개념 및 범위, 대상, 서비스 전달과정, 제공기관, 제공인력 그리고 재원 등에 대한 내용분석을 하였고, 이를 근거로 우리나라에 정책적 시사점을 다음과 같이 제안하였다. 첫째, 재활체육의 개념과 범주가 점차 확대되고 있다. 독일과 일본은 처음에는 의료적 재활을 목적으로 상이군인 등을 대상으로 재활체육이 시작되었으나 시간이 지날수록 재활체육의 중요성이 강조되면서 장애를 예방하거나 장애로 인한 2차 질병을 예방하는 차원으로 대상자들이 점차 확대되고 있다. 둘째, 재활체육이 실시되기 위해서는 의료, 복지, 장애, 운동처방 등의 전문지식을 가지고 있는 인력이 필수적이며 독일과 일본에서는 이들을 전문적으로 양성하고 있다. 셋째, 독일과 일본에서는 재활체육 제공기관을 특별히 한정짓고 있지 않고 제공기관에 재활체육을 지도할 지도자가 배치되어 있는 것을 강조하면서 장소기반이 아니라 인력기반의 재활체육 서비스로 나아가고 있다. 넷째, 재활체육 단순한 의료적 프로그램이나 스포츠 중심이 프로그램이 아니라 질병 중심의 장애유형별 체계화된 프로그램이 필요하다. 마지막으로 이용자 중심의 서비스 전달과정이 마련되어야 한다.

The purposes of this study were to determine the effects of rehabilitation programs on functional performance of the lower extremities and whether additional therapeutic exercise with routine rehabilitative therapy improves functional performance more than just routine rehabilitative therapy by it self for inpatients who have suffered a stroke with below moderate severity within 3 to 6 months after the onset of the stroke. Fifty-eight subjects were divided into two groups. Group I was given routine rehabilitative therapy and group II was given additional therapeutic exercise along with the routine rehabilitative therapy. Each group received 6 weeks of rehabilitation. The timed get-up and go test (TUG), the Fugl-Meyer score (FMS), functional independence measure (FIM), functional reach (FR), gait velocity (GV), and the strength of knee extensor and flexor were selected to measure effect of rehabilitation programs. The main results were measured and analysed at baseline, 3 weeks, and 6 weeks after the start of the rehabilitation programs. The results revealed that all of functional performance of the lower extremities in 3 weeks after the start of the rehabilitation programs were significantly improved compared with before the rehabilitation programs in both groups. In 6 weeks, TUG, FIM, FR, GV, and the strength of knee extensor in group I, TUG, FMS, FIM, FR, GV, and the strength of knee extensor and flexor in group II were significantly improved compared with the results after 3 weeks. At 3 weeks after rehabilitation programs, group II made significantly greater gains in TUG, FR, GV, and the strength of the knee flexor compared to the group I. At 6 weeks, group II made significantly greater gains in TUG, FR, GV, and the strength of the knee extensor and flexor compared to the group I. In conclusion, rehabilitation programs for stroke patients within 3 to 6 months after stroke onset significantly contributed to improve functional performance of the lower extremities. It is desirable for improvement of functional performance of the lower extremities to perform additional exercise with routine rehabilitative therapy.

Objectives Low back disability, along with low back pain, places a significant social burden in terms of work loss and medical expenses. Motion-Style-Acupuncture-Treatment using Traction (T-MSAT) is employed as one of the conservative treatments to such conditions. In the present study, effectiveness of Korean Medical treatments, including T-MSAT, was investigated in inpatients with low back disability and low back pain. Methods Among the patients who were admitted between January 2018 to June 2018 with disabled low back function, ones that were treated with T-MSAT were identified. Pain and function were compared at the point of admission and discharge, using Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), respectively. Results Over the hospitalization period of 34.55 days, pain intensity significantly decreased from NRS score of 6.14 to 3.26 and low back function also significantly improved from ODI score of 50.93 to 33.73 upon receiving Korean Medical treatments including T-MSAT. Conclusions Korean Medical treatments including T-MSAT were found to be effective in inpatients with low back disability with a statistical significance. To evaluate the sole effectiveness of T-MSAT, rigorous clinical trials are necessitated in future.

Two patients, diagnosed as cervical spinal cord injury, were hospitalized and treated by Korean medical interventions with Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES). The range of motion of the shoulder joint, manual muscle test were adopted to measure the resulting motor recovery after treatment. And the Korean version of Barthel index (K-MBI) was adopted as a method of measuring the improvement of quality of life after treatment. The range of motions and muscle strengths of the shoulder joints were improved. The activities of daily living were slightly improved in case 2, but showed no improvement in case 1. FES was effective for upper extremities rehabilitation of spinal cord injured patients. Further studies are needed to set up an Korean medical protocol for spinal cord injury rehabilitation.
