Purpose : The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of instrumental-activity of daily living program on a patient with subacute stroke in the view of self-efficiency, motivation for rehabilitation, social support. Methods : Eight stroke patients who attended instrumental-activity of daily living program at P hospital in Busan Metropolitan City from march 2018 to January 2019 were recruited. Instrumental-activity of daily living program was offered to 8 stroke patients 1 session (at least 1 hours) a day, 5 times a week, for 4~5 weeks. The instrumental-activity of daily living program was based on occupational therapy practice framework (OTPF) and international classification of functioning, disability and health (ICF). We evaluated self-efficacy, rehabilitation motivation, social support before and after intervention. Self-efficacy was evaluated using the general self-efficacy scale. The collected data was processed using SPSS 20.0 and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon signed rank test, Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results : There were statistically significant differences in self-efficiency, rehabilitation motivation, social support between before and after instrumental-activity of daily living program (p<.05). Examining the correlation between the self-efficiency, rehabilitation motivation and social support of the stroke patient, there was a correlation between the self-efficiency and social support (p<.05). Conclusion : This study showed that the instrumental-activity of daily living program have positive effects on self-efficacy, rehabilitation motivation, social support. When considering the instrumental-activity of daily living program with improved self-efficacy, rehabilitation motivation, social support of the participants, we suggest that further studies will be needed to examine more extensive instrumental-activity of daily living and rehabilitation to the society with a larger sample size.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine whether the uncertainty mediates relationship between rehabilitation motivation and social support. Methods: Participants were 123 adults patients diagnosed as stroke in a hospital located in a Metropolitan City. Data were collected by self-administered questionnaires measuring uncertainty, family support and medical team support as social support, rehabilitation motivation. Data were analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression analyses. The significance of mediating effect was analyzed by Sobel test. Results: Family support and uncertainty, respectively, were influential on rehabilitation motivation (${\beta}=.39$, p<.001, ${\beta}=-.18$, p=.011). Uncertainty showed partial mediating effect on relationship between family support and rehabilitation motivation, however, the effect was not significant (Z=1.63, p=.103). Conclusion: Interventions improving family support and decreasing uncertainty may be helpful in enhancing rehabilitation motivation.

Objective: The greatest motor impairment after stroke is a decreased ability to walk. Most stroke patients achieve independent gait, but approximately 70% do not reach normal speed, making it difficult to reach a standard of daily living. Therefore, a wearable exoskeleton is recommended for optimal independent gait because different residual disorders hinder motor function after stroke. This review synthesized the effect on gait speed in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in which gait training using a wearable exoskeleton was performed on post-stroke patients for qualitative and quantitative analysis. Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis of a randomized controlled trials Methods: RCTs using wearable exoskeletons in robotic rehabilitation of post-stroke patients were extracted from an international electronic database. For quality assessment and quantitative analysis, RevMan 5.4 was used. Quantitative analysis was calculated as the standardized mean difference (SMD) and presented as a random effect model. Results: Five studies involving 197 post-stroke patients were included in this review. As a result of the analysis using a random effect model, gait training using a wearable exoskeleton in post-stroke patients showed a significant improvement in gait speed compared to the non-wearing exoskeleton (SMD=1.15, 95% confidence interval: 0.52 to 1.78). Conclusions: This study concluded that a wearable exoskeleton was more effective than conventional gait training in improving the gait speed in post-stroke patients.

Objectives : This study aimed to review the effects of Daoyin exercise on stroke patients in clinical studies. Methods : In this study, we reviewed 11 electronic databases (CAJ, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Pubmed, RISS, Dbpia, NDSL, KISTI, KISS, KMBASE) on October 27, 2019. We included only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which evaluated the effect of Daoyin exercise on stroke patients. The methodological quality of the included studies was checked using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Results : After screening the papers, eleven RCTs fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The results of the meta-analysis showed that Daoyin exercise improves the measurement value on the Fugl-Meyer Assessment, Modified Barthel Index and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale in stroke patients. Conclusions : We concluded that Daoyin exercise has therapeutic effects in functional recovery and in enhancing the independence of daily living activities for stroke patients. However, the quality of the original articles was low and the number of papers included were few. Thus, to confirm these results, further well-designed RCTs should be conducted.

The development of standards and guidelines of rehabilitation nursing has been the major concerns for providing better nursing to the rehabilitation clients. As the patients with stroke and spinal cord injuries are the most prevalent physical disabilities in Korea, this study focussed on the nursing diagnoses of these two groups of patients. In order to identify the nursing diagnoses frequently used In their practice for the patients with stroke and spinal cord injuries, a survey was done with the questionnaire form developed by the research team. The surveyee were the staff nurses working at rehabilitation wards more than 2 years from 8 general hospitals in Korea, They identified and set the priorities of 13 nursing diagnoses from 79 stroke patients and 10 nursing diagnoses from 35 patients with spinal cord injuries during the periods from March 1 to June 2, 1999. The identified nursing diagnoses for the stroke patients are impaired physical immobility, sensory-perceptual alteration, activity intolerance, self-care deficit, altered defecation, altered urination, risk for injury, unilateral neglect, impaired skin integrity, altered thought processes, pain, altered health maintenance, dysreflexia. The identified nursing diagnoses for spinal cord injuries are altered urination, altered defecation, impaired skin integrity, pain, risk for injury, reflex incontinence, impaired physical immobility, self-care deficit, activity intolerance, knowledge deficit.

This paper presents the judgment method of the rehabilitation extent using a spherical type digital finger force measuring system (SDFFMS). Stroke patients can't use their fingers because of the paralysis of their fingers, but they can recover with rehabilitative training. The SDFFMS has been already developed by Kim (Author of this paper), and the finger grasping forces of normal people and stroke patients could be measured using it. But the SDFFMS could be not used to judge the extent of their rehabilitation, because the judgment method using it is not yet developed. In this paper, the characteristics tests for the grasping forces of normal persons and stroke patients were performed using the SDFFMS, and the judgment method of the rehabilitation extent was developed using the results. The tests confirm that the rehabilitation extent of stroke patients could be judged using the developed judgment method.
