We have made a survey of 40 patients in the university hospitals and oriental medical centers in Seoul from Sep. 1, 1997 to Mar. 1, 1998. We sampled 25 of them and the result shows that there were 12 MCA damaged patients(48%), 5 SAH(20%), 5 ACA(20%), 2 PCA (8%), 1 PCOA(4%). The number of MCA patients were the most. 1. As the cause of each disease, 4 of the 12 MCA damaged patients(33.35%) have infarction and cerebral hemorrhage, 2 of 5 SAH patients(40%) have cerebral hemorrhage and head injury, 3 ACA damaged patients have cerebral hemorrhage. 11 of 25 brain bloodvessel damaged patients(44%) were hemorrhage patients. 2. Rt. hemiparesis was the main symptom of 6 of 12 MCA damaged patients(50%) and 3 of 5 SAH patients(60%), and the main symptom of 3 of 5 ACA patients(60%) was Lt. hemiparesis. The main symptom of 13 of 25 brain bloodvessel damaged patients(52%) was Lt. hemiparesis 11 of them(44%) Rt. hemiparesis, and 1 of them(8.3%) Quadriplegia. 3. Language was the most well preserved function. 12 MCA damaged patients could understand language. 4. Retraction of shoulder girdle, among VIE flexor synergy, was the most frequent element because 9 of 12 MCA damaged patients had it. Among VIE flexor synergy, 5 SAH patient's most frequent synergy was Elbow flexion because all of them had it. All of 5 ACA damaged patients have shoulder girdle elevation, shoulder joint, hyperextension, abduction, and external rotation among VIE flexor synergy. 5. 7 of 12 MCA damaged patients(58.3%) were stereognosis handicapped patients, 3 of 5 SAH patients(60%) have handicap of position sense, light touch, and temperature, 3 of 5 ACA patients(60%) have position handicap. 13 of brain bloodvessel damaged patients(52%) have light touch handicap. 6. 8 of MCA damaged patients(66.7%) have facial palsy, 4 of SAH damaged patients(80%) have memory and action decline, and 3 of ACA damaged patients(60%) have action decline and facial palsy. The problem of Hemiplegia is very extensive from muscle weakness, atrophy, or deformation to psychical problems. Therefore physical therapists should have sufficient interest in psychological handicap as well as physical handicap as they deal with adult hemiplegia.

It is well agreed that transportation is not the end by itself, rather it is a means to achieve other goals to enhance the quality of life. Accordingly, various social impacts of transportation systems, such as destruction of community social life of urban residents, separation of community area, and accessibility restriction on the transportation handicapped, which can deteriorate the quality of life of the residents should be considered seriously in the process of urban transportation planning. The urban transportation planning process of Korea which emphasizes too much on the of efficiency objectives of transportation, however, have neglected greatly the social sides of urban transportation systems. This paper discusses major social impacts of urban transportation systems in Korea and proposes several research fields related to the social impacts of urban transportation.

As a subjective recognition effect, human's emotion has impulsive characteristic and it expresses intentions and needs unconsciously. These are pregnant with information of the context about the ubiquitous computing environment or intelligent robot systems users. Such indicators which can aware the user's emotion are facial image, voice signal, biological signal spectrum and so on. In this paper, we generate the each result of facial and voice emotion recognition by using facial image and voice for the increasing convenience and efficiency of the emotion recognition. Also, we extract the feature which is the best fit information based on image and sound to upgrade emotion recognition rate and implement Multi-Modal Emotion recognition system based on feature fusion. Eventually, we propose the possibility of the ubiquitous computing service reasoning method based on Bayesian Network and ubiquitous context scenario in the ubiquitous computing environment by using result of emotion recognition.

This study examines the effects of recovery-oriented practices on psychiatric symptoms of people with mental disorder and further explores the impact of recovery-oriented practices in each subcategories on psychiatric symptoms, thereby demonstrating the intent of restoring the community mental health rehabilitation center. For this, a survey was conducted on 378 people with mental disorder who used community mental health rehabilitation center and correlation and hierarchical regression analysis were conducted. The study found that among the five subcategories of recovery, including age and duration of illness, 'Life Goal,' 'Involvement,' and 'diversity of treatment options' alleviate symptoms of people with mental disorder. Based on these findings, community mental health rehabilitation center has presented the combined significance of psychiatry and social welfare programs to facilitate the recovery of the mentally handicapped by reflecting the value and factors of recovery-oriented practice.

There are rarely effective methods to help visually impaired people when they want to know the expiration date of products excepted to only Braille. In this study, we developed an expiration date notification system based on YOLO and OCR for visually impaired people. The handicapped people can automatically know the expiration date of a specific product by using our system without the help of a caregiver, fast and accurately. The proposed system is worked by four different steps: (1) identification of a target product by scanning its barcode; (2) segmentation of an image area with the expiration date using YOLO; (3) classification of the expiration date by OCR: (4) notification of the expiration date by TTS. Our system showed an average classification accuracy of about 86.00% when blindfolded subjects used the proposed system in real-time. This result validates that the proposed system can be potentially used for visually impaired people.

In this study, crutch and crutch gait for the handicapped in the lower extremity were discussed, and the study was conducted as a part of long-term research that suggests a practical solution for a crutch design. Three axillary crutches were evaluated in the study by a set of design guidelines for crutches delivered from the advanced research. In this comparative study with axillary crutch design variations, 31 healthy subjects were participated and three crutches were evaluated by ten guidelines. The result showed that Mobilegs-ultra and In-motion Pro were significantly greater than KM Crutch. However, no statistically significant difference was found between Mobilegs-ultra and In-motion Pro. While analyzing with guidelines, Mobilegs-ultra and In-motion Pro were significantly greater than KM Crutch for 6-guideline, but no significant difference was found among three crutches for the guidelines related with Lightweight and Economical feasibility and marketability. The result of the study is expected to be used for a solid foundation to evaluate for the reasonableness of the guidelines with comprehensive analysis for crutch gait evaluation in the further study.

Since the enactment of "Mobility Promotion Law for Transportation Vulnerable", each municipality has been various efforts to improve the transportation vulnerable's the right of movement. However, the effectiveness of mobility promotion policy for the transportation vulnerable is awfully inadequate because circumstances which associated with operation of transportation of the handicapped such as local conditions and transport characteristics have not been considered. Thus, in this study investigated traffic characteristics of the transportation vulnerable through the data of regional slope, non-step buses and handicap vehicles operating conditions and so on in Busan Metropolitan. Also, we proposed to introduction of the 'mobility index' which is based on local condition analysis of Busan. And we suggested that how to improve the convenience of transportation vulnerable's movement.

This paper describes optimal operation method using recognition of walker's will for a robotic walker. Recently, walking aid system has been required according to the increase of elder and handicapped person. However, most of walking aid system don't have actuator for its movement. Unfortunately, standard frames have weakness for the movement to upward/download direction of slope. So, active type walking aids are interested, but it is not easy to control. In this paper, we adapt user's will system that can recognize walking direction and speed. First, FSR(Force Sensing Register) is applied to measure user's will to walk. And then, fuzzy algorithm is used for determining optimal wheel velocity and direction of the walking aid. From the result, walking aid can move smoothly and safely following the user's will. The walking aid can help user to walk more optimally. Here, all the processes are verified experimentally in the real world.

In this paper, we study the bus stop shelters, one of the public facilities, revised by the development plan of Seoul city. Dark gray and brown are dominant colours for the shelters. As representative colours, designated by Seoul city, dark gray and brown can be harmonious naturally with urban environment. However, in view of universal design, those colours have some problems to be recognized and to be used for handicapped groups, olds and childens especially. For analysis, investigating proposition and circumstance of two groups living in the city is the first place. This study is for building proper colour domains of universal design for public facilities and for recognizing that the way of public facilities should be that the ambit of public space is not regarded as a facility but recognized easily in accordance with environment including a facility. we hope that this paper is practically used as a reference for coming studies are the purposes of this study.
