Purpose: Our goal was to determine the difference in motor recovery between two stroke types: the corona radiata (CR) infarct type and the intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) type, by using assessment methods for motor functions. Methods: Forty subjects who were diagnosed as having had a stroke with an infarct (men: 11, women: 9, mean age: $62.25{\pm}7.59$) or a stroke with an ICH (men: 12, women: 8, mean age: $59.75{\pm}6.11$) were recruited. In all subjects, motor functions of the affected extremities were measured 2 times: at stroke onset (initial) and 6 months after the onset (final) by the motricity index (MI), the modified Brunnstrom classification (MBC), and functional ambulatory category (FAC). We compared the final assessment with the initial one. Results: Motor functions of all patients improved with the passing of time. All scores of motor function assessment in the ICH type were higher than in the infarct type. Comparing the initial assessment with the final one, upper MI and MBC scores of the upper extremities were significantly different between the two stroke types (p<0.05), but lower MI and FAC scores of the lower extremities were not (p>0.05). Conclusion: These findings imply that patterns of motor recovery in patients with either the infarct type or the ICH type of stroke change for the better over time. The degree of motor recovery in the ICH type was better than in the infarct type. Therefore, one can introduce clinical interventions by the aspect of progress in functional motor recovery.

This meta-analysis systematically reviewed studies on mirror therapy focused on arm and hand function in stroke patients, aiming to comprehensively assess the efficacy of mirror therapy interventions and furnish empirical support for its potential application and future development in the context of stroke rehabilitation. A rigorous search for articles published in international journals up to the year 2022 was conducted. Various assessment tools were employed to calculate effect sizes, evaluating the impact of mirror therapy on arm and hand function in stroke patients. Utilizing a random-effects model, mean effect sizes were determined, yielding a total effect size of 0.545. The effect sizes for the Brunnstrom Recovery Stage (BRS), Box and Block Test (BBT), Modified Barthel Index (MBI), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), and grip strength test were 0.957, 0.596, 0.490, 0.488, and 0.417, respectively. In summary, we suggest that mirror therapy engenders positive changes in functional recovery among stroke patients, establishing a foundation for its tailored clinical application based on individual subject characteristics.

국내 구하도의 경우 많은 부분 하도 직강화에 의해 자연하천에서의 사행을 제한함으로써 절단된 형태로 남아있으며, 현재는 매립되어 타용도로 이용되는 육화형과 습지형 구하도로 구분할 수 있다. 습지형 구하도는 일부 농업용수 공급에 활용되고 있으나 대부분 수질악화, 수위저하, 육역화, 생태계 교란 등 관리 미흡으로 사실상 방치되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 구하도의 보전 또는 복원을 통한 하천관리는 유역관리 차원에서도 매우 효과적일 수 있으며, 이를 위해 습지형 구하도의 기능적 가치에 대한 평가가 우선적으로 필요하다. 본 연구는 유역관리 차원에서 습지형 구하도의 활용 방안을 모색하기 위해 만경강 습지형 구하도를 대상으로 기능적 평가를 수행하였다. 평가는 자연성, 서식처, 친수성, 수질 등 4개 속성의 21개 평가지표를 토대로 이뤄졌으며 각 속성별 가중치에 따라 계량화하여 수행하였다. 만경강의 습지형 구하도는 자연성과 서식처 속성의 평가결과가 양호한 반면 친수성과 수질 속성의 평가결과는 매우 취약한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 수량이 풍부하지 않고 부영양화가 진행된 지점의 경우 주변환경의 관리가 더욱 미흡한 관계로 타지점에 비해 상대적으로 시급하게 개선이 필요한 지역으로 설정되었다. 평가결과는 향후 하천공간 확보라는 하천의 유역관리 차원에서 습지형 구하도를 활용하기 위한 근거자료로써 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구에서는 수생태계 환경 지표로써 윤충류 군집의 활용 가능성을 평가하기 위해 부영양화 진행 정도에 따른 윤충류 군집의 반응 양상을 분석하였다. 윤충류 군집의 시,공간적 분포와 수질과의 관계를 평가하기 위해 지리상 인접하게 위치해 있으나 수질 항목 및 부영양화 정도가 서로 다른 충청남도 소재의 전대저수지와 초대저수지를 연구 대상지로 선정하였다. 분석을 위해 두 저수지에서 2013년 4월부터 11월까지 수질 및 윤충류 군집의 월별 조사를 실시하여 상관관계 분석 및 회귀 분석을 실시하였다. 윤충류 군집은 종 조성과 기능성 그룹 조성으로 나누어 적용하였으며, 기능성 그룹의 경우 섭식 성향을 대변할 수 있는 트로피(trophi)의 구조와 형태 및 개체 크기, 생태를 고려하여 분류하였다. 분석 결과, 종을 기반으로 한 조성의 경우 일관적인 경향이 나타나지 않았으나, 기능성 그룹 조성의 경우 부영양화 정도에 따른 그룹 특이적 증감 경향이 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과는 수생태계, 특히 과영양 상태의 저수지에 대한 환경지표로써 윤충류 기능성 그룹 조성의 활용 가능성을 제시한다. 반면, 본 연구에서는 제한된 연구 지점에서의 현장 결과를 바탕으로 하고 있어, 향후 윤충류 기능성 그룹의 섭식 성향에 따른 환경 적응과 관련한 추가 연구가 이루어진다면 윤충류 군집을 수생태계 내 다양한 변화의 모니터링과 평가 및 비교에 적용 가능할 것으로 여겨진다.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the influence of resilience and symptom experience on quality of life. Methods: Seventy five patients in an active treatment stage were recruited from 2 hospitals between October and December 2010. A survey including perceived health status, physical functional status, the symptom experience index, resilience, and the functional assessment of cancer therapy-colorectal (FACT-C) was completed. Results: The level of FACT-C was 86.61 (${\pm}18.91$), which was higher than for patients with colostomy, but lower than for patients in a rehabilitation stage. Participants without physical functional limitations showed higher level of both resilience and quality of life. Participants with bad health status showed a lower level of both resilience and quality of life and higher level of symptom experience. The quality of life was related to the level of resilience (${\beta}$=.373), symptom experience (${\beta}$=-.292), and perceived health status (${\beta}$=-3.961). Conclusion: Proactive nursing approaches to manage symptoms and to improve perceived health status would enhance the quality of life of colorectal cancer patients. Furthermore, various strategies to strengthen the level of resilience should be developed.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlations between functional movement screen (FMS) and ankle dysfunctions in subjects with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study of 20 participants with CAI. The ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM), Foot and Ankle Disability Index (FADI), center of pressure (COP) path length, and COP velocity for ankle dysfunction were measured in all the subjects. All the subjects underwent the FMS concerned with ankle functions consisted of deep squats, hurdle steps and in-line lunges. The Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient was used to determine relationship between the ankle ROM, FADI, COP and FMS. Results: The results of the deep squat and in-line lunge exercises revealed a significant correlation with the ankle dorsiflexion ROM, FADI, COP path length, and COP velocity. The hurdle step showed no correlation with the ankle dorsiflexion ROM and FADI but a significant relationship with the COP path length and COP velocity. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that relationship deep squat and in-line lunge and it is suggested that an assessment tool using ankle dorsiflexion ROM and ankle instability would be clinically effective.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine if the program focusing on gluteal muscle exercise combined lumbar stabilization had an effects on pain, functional disability and lumbar instability in chronic low back pain patients who had lumbar instability. METHODS: Thirty four patients were recruited in this study. The participants were randomly allocated stabilization exercise group (SEG) (n=17) and gluteal muscle exercise group (GEG) (n=17). The gluteal muscle exercise group conducted gluteal muscle exercises combined lumbar stabilization and stabilization exercise group did only lumbar stabilization exercise for 30 minutes three times a week for six weeks. Pre-exercise assessment tools, visual analogue scale (VAS) and Korean version Oswestry Disability Index level (KODI) were used for pain and functional disability each. Also, these were scored by the tool of lumbar instability. The pain, functional disability levels, and lumbar instability after six weeks with this exercise were re-evaluated. RESULTS: First, SEG showed a significant decrease in the lumbar pain, functional disability levels and lumbar instability. Second, GEG showed a significant decrease in the lumbar pain, functional disability levels and lumbar instability. The third, GEG showed even more significant decrease in the lumbar pain levels, functional disability levels and lumbar instability than SEG. CONCLUSION: Gluteal muscle exercises combined lumbar stabilization are more effective than only lumbar stabilization exercise in the pain levels, functional disability levels and lumbar instability for the chronic low back pain patients with lumbar instability.
