남용 약물에 대한 갈망은 중독적인 행동을 지속하는 데 있어 중요하다. 갈망은 강화적이거나 보상적인 약물을 복용하고자 하는 강한 욕구와 관련된 다차원적인 현상으로 여겨진다. 본 연구에서는 알코올 사용 장애자와 정상인이 알코올 관련 자극(소량의 술을 마시기, 알코올 관련 시각 자극)에 노출되었을 때 갈망에 대한 심리적인 반응의 차이를 밝히고자 하였다. 알코올 관련 시각 자극을 개발하기 위하여 Normative Appetitive Picture System(NAPS)과 1차 집단 심리 실험을 통하여 알코올 자극을 선정하고 자극의 적합성과 효과성을 검증하여 자극을 최종 개발하였다. 본 실험을 위해 알코올 사용 장애를 가진 9명의 남녀 대학생(남:8명)과 9명의 비의존 남녀 대학생(남:8명)을 선정하였다. 실험참여자는 5cc 정도의 알코올을 복용하고, 알코올 자극, 음료 자극, 통제 자극(흐릿하게 변형된 알코올 자극)과 고정점 자극(십자가 기호)에 무선적으로 노출되었으며, 각 종류의 자극이 제시되고 나면 마우스를 이용하여 심리적 갈망 수준을 보고하였다. 심리반응 결과, 강박음주갈망척도, 음주 전, 음주 후 알코올 갈망에서 두 집단 간 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 알코올 사용 장애 집단은 알코올 자극을 포함한 모든 자극에서 정상인 집단보다 높은 알코올 갈망 수준을 나타내었다. 결론적으로 알코올 사용 장애자는 알코올 자극에 의해 유발된 심리적 갈망이 정상인과 다른 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 조선후기 실학의 한 양상을 보여준다고 평가되는 五洲衍文長箋散稿의 구성상의 특징을 살피고, 이와 관련하여 五洲 李圭景(1788-1856)의 공부법 가운데 하나를 밝힘으로써 조선후기 일부 지식인들에게 보이던 지적 풍토를 究明하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이 과정에서 다음 사항들이 검토되었다.첫째, 기존에 알려진 五洲의 작품 五洲衍文長箋散稿 五洲書種 詩家點燈 이외에 五洲의 손에서 이루어진 다른 서적이 있는가를 검토하였다. 五洲衍文長箋散稿에 대한 분석만으로도 이상 3종 이외에 약 20여종의 서적이 五洲의 저작임을 확인할 수 있었다. 둘째, 그렇다면 이 많은 저작들을 남길 수 있었던 것은 어째서인가? 이는 무엇보다 五洲衍文長箋散稿에서 보이는 構成上의 문제를 염두에 두지 않을 수 없다. 즉, 이 책은 일정한 주제에 관해 沈潛된 사고를 바탕으로 저자의 견해를 피력하는 데에 주안을 두었다기보다는, 일정한 주제에 관해 기존의 관련정보들을 갈무리해두는 방식을 택하고 있다. 다시 말해, 짧은 기간에 많은 저작을 남긴 것은 오히려 깊이 있는 沈潛이 결여된 成冊 방식이 큰 몫을 한 듯 하다. 셋째, 정보를 갈무리하는 성책방식은 단순한 독서를 통해 이루어진다기보다는 해당 정보를 직접 ‘보유’하고 있을 필요가 있다. 이 과정에서 크게 활용된 공부법이 바로 抄였으며, 抄는 抄하는 과정에서 정보의 습득을 가져오지만 또 다른 측면으로 보자면 정보의 구축, 즉 성책의 수단이기도 하였다. 따라서 五洲衍文長箋散稿라는 책은 五洲가 지녔던 癖에 가까운 抄라는 공부법이 이루어낸 결과물이라는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate inter-rater reliability of the amplitude and first knee extension angles in deep tendon reflex test by using an electrical hammer. Twenty-five healthy adults participated in the study. Compound muscle action potential is elicited by tapping the knee tendon with an electrical hammer in deep tendon reflex tests. The amplitude and knee extension angle were simultaneously measured. The mean value of the amplitude and the knee extension angles through three time trials for each tester, are used for determining the inter-rater and Intra-class Correlation Coefficients (ICCs) reliabilities. According to the results, the ICCs of the amplitude is .280 and that of the knee extension angle is .789. Pearson correlation coefficients of the amplitude of the action potential and the knee extension angles are .685, showing significant statistically moderate correlation. Inter-rater reliability in the amplitude was not significant. More objective and quantitative deep tendon reflex tests should be done to obtain higher reliability in further studies.

The purpose of this study was to compare the onset times of muscle activities and the order of muscle firing in erector spinae, multifidus, rectus abdominis and biceps brachii during perturbation between subjects with and without work-related chronic low back pain (LBP). Twenty-nine subjects, 14 with and 15 without LBP, participated in this study. The muscle responses were measured by surface EMG (electromyography) during perturbation in eye opened and eye closed conditions. The EMG onset times of the erector spinae, multifidus, rectus abdominis and biceps brachii were similar between groups in eye closed condition. But the onset times of the erector spinae, multifidus, rectus abdominis were significantly delayed in subjects with LBP in eye opened condition. The results provide an evidence for impaired feed-forward control of the trunk muscles in subjects with LBP. Further studies are needed to identify whether the impaired feed-forward control of the trunk muscles is the contributing factor to LBP.

The purpose of this study is to establish English as elective subjects for 11~12 grades in Korean high schools. This study was conducted in the form of survey including a total of 1,923 participants, consists of 728 high school English teachers, 984 high school students, and 939 parents. The questionnaire consisted of nine questions, and which were designed to elicitate the participants perception and needs on English as the elective subjects in high schools. The results of the study indicate that 1) we need the subjects that include 4 skills(listening, speaking, reading, and writing), 2) binding listening and speaking skills together will meet the need of students and parents who want to choose conversation-only subjects, 3) on the other hand, binding reading and writing skills together will meet the needs of the students who want to prepare for establishing the academic basis in the future. 4) Various proficiency in English between students requires various level of the elective subjects in high school English. On the basis of these results, this study suggests we need 1) the subjects which deals with 4 skills on the basis of traditional concept, and 2) ‘listening and speaking’ subjects and ‘reading and writing’ subjects. And the subjects should have various levels between the highest level to the lowest level.

The aim of this study is, by examining physical teachers' understanding of curriculum for managing advanced optional subjects of physical education, organizing and managing of the subjects, and the reality of class management and evaluation, to reflect pi

The purpose of this study was to determine whether a relationship existed between foot type and the location of plantar callus in healthy subjects. Twenty-five healthy subjects with plantar callus were recruited for this study. Foot deformities were classified according to the operational definitions as 1) a compensated forefoot varus, 2) an uncompensated forefoot varus or forefoot valgus, or 3) a compensated rearfoot varus. The location of plantar callus was divided into two regions. Fourteen of the 19 feet with compensated forefoot varus and six of the 9 feet showed plantar callus at the second, third or fourth metatarsal head. Five of the 6 feet with uncompensated forefoot varus and twenty of the 16 feet with forefoot valgus showed plantar callus at the first or fifth metatarsal head. A significant relationship was found between foot type and location of callus (p<.01). The results support the hypothesis that certain foot types are associated with characteristic patterns of pressure distribution and callus formation. We believe diabetic patients with insensitive feet and with the types of foot deformity should be fit with foot orthoses and footwears that accommodate their respective deformity in a position as near to the subtalar joint as possible with the goal of preventing plantar ulceration.

The purpose of this study was to compare the electromyography (EMG) activities of the lumbar extensor muscles during motion of trunk flexion-extension and compare range of motion (ROM) with a 3-dimensional motion analysis system of the lumbar region between subjects with chronic low back pain (CLBP) and healthy subjects during the trunk flexion-extension, trunk rotation and trunk lateral flexion cycle. Thirty CLBP subjects and thirty healthy subjects were included. We measured the root mean square (RMS) value of the lumbar extensor muscles from resting, standing, lumbar flexion and return position. The RMS ratio was normalized from maximal EMG activity of the lumbar extensor muscles during trunk motion. The results of this study showed that the RMS ratio of the lumbar extensor was significantly higher in CLBP subjects than healthy subjects during all of trunk motion (p<.05). The ratio of the highest RMS value during flexion and extension was higher in CLBP subjects than in healthy subjects (p<.05). The ROM of the lumbar region was significantly lower in CLBP subjects than healthy subjects during trunk flexion-extension, trunk rotation and lateral flexion cycle. The relationship between the RMS ratio for full lumbar flexion and the ROM of lumbar flexion was not correlated significantly. CLBP subjects have both decreased ROM of the lumbar region and higher muscle activities of the lumbar extensor muscle than healthy subjects.

본 연구의 목적은 21%농도의 산소와 비교하여 30%의 고농도 산소 흡입이 사이클 등속 운동 중에 심박동률(heart rate)과 혈중 산소 포화도(SPO2)에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것이다. 21%와 30% 농도의 산소를 각각 8liter/min의 양으로 일정하게 공급할 수 있는 산소 공급 장치를 이용하였다. 신체 건강한 10명의 남자 대학생(25.2±2.2세)이 21%와 30%의 두 종류의 산소 농도를 대상으로 각각 두 번의 실험에 참여하였다. 실험은 안정(2분), 20±1km/h의 사이클 등속 운동(10분), 회복(6분)의 세 구간(총 18분)으로 구성되어 있고, 21%또는 30%의 산소는 등속 운동과 회복 구간에만 공급되었다. 21%에 비해 30%산소를 흡입했을 때 사이클 등속 운동과 회복 기간 중에 심박동률은 감소하였고, 혈중 산소 포화도는 .차이가 없었다. 21%와 30% 두 그룹 사이에 동일한 운동부하가 주어졌기 때문에 혈중 산소 포화도는 차이가 없는 것으로 판단되고, 30%의 고농도 산소 흡입으로 동일운동 부하에 필요한 산소 요구량이 원활히 공급되고 있기 때문에 심박동률은 감소한 것으로 판단된다.

This study aimed to compare movement patterns of shoulder joints between the right and left symmetry in stroke patients and control subjects. This study proposes use of the voluntary response index (VRI) calculated from quantitative analysis of surface electromyographic (sEMG) and motion data recorded during voluntary movement as a feeding task. The VRI is comprised of two numeric values, one derived from the total muscle activity recorded for the voluntary motor task (magnitude), and the other from the sEMG distribution across the recorded muscles with the similarity index (SI). Five stroke patients and five age-matched healthy controls were recruited. Feeding motion was performed using the provided spoon five times with rests taken on a chair in between tasks. EMG data were digitized and analyzed on the basis of the root mean square (RMS) envelope of activity. The average amplitude of responses was calculated. Responsiveness and clinically meaningful levels of discrimination between stroke patients and control for EMG magnitude and SI were determined. The similarity index of the results from two successive examinations of both sides apart for stroke patients and control subjects were .86 and .95 in motion analysis and .84 and .99 in electromyographic analysis. The SI of sEMG data and motion data was significantly correlated in stroke patients. The data suggest that SI is a sensitive program for comparing and analyzing the symmetry of muscle activity and motion in both sides. This analysis method has a clinical value in grading muscular activity and movement impairment after brain injury.

Tracking is an experimental paradigm that can be used to study information processing in continuous movements involving accurate, ongoing control of motor performance. The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of knee tracking performance. Six patients with hemiplegia and six age-matched controls participated in the study. The tracking test was administrated. It was composed with regular ranges of to and randomized range .2 to .4 Hz. Using the Mann-Whitney U test, a comparison was made between subjects who had suffered from stroke and subjects who were well coordinated. The Wilcoxon Matched Pairs Signed Ranks Test was used to compare and analyze the paretic and nonparetic sides of the stroke patients. The results of study were as follows: accuracy index of the tracking test was significantly higher on the control side than paretic and nonparetic sides. Accuracy index scores were significantly higher for nonparetic sides with stroke compared with paretic sides with stroke. This study shows tracking is impaired in paretic and nonparetic knee of subjects with stroke.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the angle of a wedged insole on knee varus torque during walking. Fifteen healthy subjects were recruited. Knee varus torque was measured using three-dimensional motion analysis (Elite). Knee varus torque was normalized to gait cycle (0%: initial contact; 100%: ipsilateral initial contact) and stance phase (0%: initial contact; 100%: ipsilateral toe off). The average peaks of knee varus torque during the stance phase of the gait cycle according to the different insole angles (10 or 15 degrees) were compared using one-way ANOVA with repeated measures. The results showed that in the early stance phase, the average peak knee varus torque increased significantly for both the medial 10 and 15 degree wedged insole conditions and decreased significantly for both the lateral 10 and 15 degree wedged insole conditions as compared with no insole (p<.05). However, there were no significant differences between the 10 and 15 degree wedged insole conditions with either the medial or lateral wedged insole (p>.05). In the late stance phase, the average peak knee varus torque increased significantly for the medial 10 and 15 degree wedged insole conditions (p<.05), but not for the lateral 10 and 15 degree wedged insole conditions as compared with no insole (p>.05). We suggest that these results may be beneficial for manufacturing foot orthotic devices, such as wedged insoles, to control medial and lateral compartment forces in the knee varus-valgus deformity. Further studies of the effects of wedged insole angle on knee varus torque in patients with medial-lateral knee osteoarthritis are needed.

Many factors affect foot and ankle biomechanics during walking, including gait speed and anthropometric characteristics. However, speed has not been taken into account in foot kinematics and kinetics during walking. This study examined the effect of walking speed on foot joint motion and peak plantar pressure during the walking phase. Eighty healthy subjects (40 men, 40 women) were recruited. Maximal dorsiflexion and excursion were measured at the first metatarsophalangeal joints during walking phase at three different cadences (80, 100, and 120 step/min) using a three dimensional motion analysis system (CMS70P). At the same time, peak plantar pressure was investigated using pressure distribution platforms (MatScan system) under the hallux heads of the first, second, and third metatarsal bones and heel. Maximal dorsiflexion and excursion and excursion at the ankle joint decreased significantly with increasing walking speed. Peak plantar pressure increased significantly under the heads of the first of the first, second, and third metatarsal bones, and heel with increasing walking speed: three was no change under the hallux. There were no significant changes in maximal dorsiflexion or excursion at the first metatarsophalangeal joint. The results show that walking speed should be considered when comparing gait parameters. The results also suggest that slow walking speeds may decrease forefoot peak plantar pressure in patients with peripheral neuropathy who have a high risk of skin breakdown under the forefoot.

The purpose of this study was to compare visual analogue scale (VAS), pain threshold (PT), , and EMG gaps before and after applying transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on the upper trapezius muscle at the patients with myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). The subjects were 4 men and 10 women composed of both the inpatients and outpatients who were diagnosed as MPS at Wonju Medical Center. VAS and PT measurements were performed to assess the subjective pain level. The reference voluntary contraction (RVC) test was performed for 15 seconds for normalization on the bilateral trapezius muscle using surface electromyography (sEMG). After 3-minute resting time, the EMG signal was recorded while performing a typing activity for 2 minutes and then TENS was applicated with a comfortable intensity for 10 minutes. The EMG activity of the upper trapezius muscle was recorded during typing for 2 minutes. The results of study were as follows: 1) VAS score was significantly decreased on the more painful side after treatment, however, it was not significantly different on the less painful side. 2) PT was increased after treatment on both sides, however, it was not significantly different between before and after the TENS application. 3) The EMG activity during typing was significantly decreased after treatment, and 4) The EMG gaps were significantly increased after TENS treatment compared to before it. Consequently, the study showed that TENS was effective in decreasing VAS, , and in increasing EMG gaps. The EMG gap analysis could be a useful method to measure pain in patients with MPS in the upper trapezius.

Objectives: The purpose of this survey research was to Investigate how well the national occupational therapy certification examination was reflecting the current occupational therapy practice. Method: The researchers developed a survey with input from 159 occupational therapists out of 230. The content of the survey consisted of four areas which were demographic information, the relationship between the current national occupational therapy certification examination, the tasks that occupational therapists perform in the clinical settings, and the knowledge bases that occupational therapists need to know to perform the tasks. Results: The findings can be summarized as follows; 1) All the current examination subjects except for ADLs (activities of daily living) had low relationship with clinical occupational therapy practice; 2) 84% of the respondents agreed on that the current examination needed to be revised based on the tasks that occupational therapists actually do in the clinical settings; 3) the new subjects proposed for the national occupational therapy certification examination showed high relationship with the clinical occupational therapy practice; 4) the new subjects were composed of occupational therapy evaluation, treatment plan, intervention, re-evaluation, management, and professionalism. Conclusions: The findings are expected to be useful for revising the content of the current national occupational therapy certification examination and developing occupational therapy curriculum of the new educational programs.

This study examined the muscle recruitment order during extension of the hip joint in normal subjects, and evaluated whether the external support obtained from wearing a lumbosacral corset had an effect on muscle recruitment leading to increased lumbar stability. The subjects were 40 normal adults (32 male, 8 female) with no history of low back pain and no pathological findings in the nervous or musculoskeletal systems. All subjects extended their hip joints under 3 positions (prone, sidelying, standing). During extension, the onsets of contraction of the rectus abdominis, gluteus maximus, and semitendinosus muscles were measured. Electromyographic activity was measured using a surface electrode, and the muscle contraction onset time was designated as the point exceeding a threshold of 25 ms, using a mean plus twice of the standard deviation. To compare the average order of muscle contraction onset time, a Freedman two-way analysis of variance by ranks was used. The relative difference between muscle contraction onset time wearing and not wearing a lumbosacral corset was measured using a paired t-test. A difference in the average muscle contraction onset order for the rectus abdominis, gluteus maximus, and semitendinosus muscles was observed (p<.05) among three positions. However, wearing a lumbosacral corset did not. change the contraction order. In addition, wearing a lumbosacral corset produced a significant difference (p<.05) in the relative onset time between the rectus abdominis and gluteus maximus in the standing position, but no difference was observed for the other muscles or positions. In the future, patients suffering from low back pain should be compared with normal subjects to determine the effectiveness of a lumbosacral corset in changing muscle recruitment order.

This study was designed to identify the effects of walking conditions (normal walking vs. toe-walking) on electromyographic (EMG) activity of gastrocnemius, tibialis anterior, and soleus muscle. Seven healthy adult males participated in this study. The exclusion criteria were orthopedic or neurologic disease, congenital anomaly or acquired deformity, or pain in low back or lower extremities. The maximal voluntary isometric contraction for each muscle was used for the reference contraction, and EMG activity of each muscle during normal walking and toe-walking was expressed as a percentage of reference contraction. The gait cycle was determined with two foot switches, and gait was normalized as 100% gait cycle for each condition. The maximal values of EMG activity in terminal stance (30~50% of gait cycle) of each condition were compared for data analysis. No significant differences were found in EMG activity of the tibialis anterior and soleus (p>.05), whereas significant decrement was found in EMG activity of gastrocnemius during toe-walking compared to normal walking (p<.05). There is a limitation to generalize the results of this study, because small number of subjects participated for this study and only EMG was used for data collection. The treatment methods should be developed to improve gait efficiency by substituting the weakened muscles secondary to upper motor neuron, or by strengthening the distal muscles in lower extremity.

The purpose of this study was to compare the onset times of muscle activities and the order of muscle firing in hamstring gluteus maximus, and lumbar erector spinae muscle during active hip extension between subjects with low back pain (LBP) and healthy subjects. Thirty subjects, 15 with LBP and 15 healthy subjects, participated in this study. Electromyographic activity was recorded during active hip extension in prone and standing position. Relative onset times of these muscle activities were determined. Similar muscle firing order in hamstring, gluteus maximus, and lumbar erector spinae muscle showed in both groups and positions. However, the onset time of gluteus maximus was significantly later in prone and standing active hip extension in subjects with LBP than in healthy subjects. The onset time of lumber erector spinae muscle activity was significantly delayed in subjects with LBP in standing active hip extension, The delayed onset times of gluteus maximus and lumbar erector spinae muscles' activities were probably related to LBP. Further studies are needed to identify whether the delayed onset times of gluteus maximus and lumbar erector spinae muscle activities are the contributing factors to LBP.
