Objective: This study was conducted to develop Korean version of Modified Mini-Mental Status (3MS) Examination and to examine it’s validity and reliability in patients with brain injuries. Method: The 3MS was administered to 24 patients with brain injuries from Jan. 1 to Apr. 30 in 2001 at two university hospitals in Korea. The instruments used for evaluating validity and reliability of 3MS were Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE), Neurobehavioral Cognitive Status Examination (NCSE), and Modified Barthel Index (MBI). Results: Test-retest reliability of 3MS was excellent (r=0.97), and Interitem correlation coefficients ranged from 0.49 to 1.00. The score changes between the two tests were not related with the gender, level of education, and the duration after the brain injury. When items of 3MS were compared with the items of NCSE to evaluate the construct validity, correlation coefficients ranged from 0.43 to 0.73. When the NCSE was used as a gold standard to evaluate cognitive dysfunction, optimal cutoff scores analyzed by the Receiver Operating Characteristic curves for 3MS and MMSE were 68 and 22, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of both 3MS and MMSE were the same at 80% and 89.5%, respectively. Conclusion: This study showed that the 3MS was a valid and reliable instrument to screen cognitive dysfunction in patients with brain injuries.

Objectives: To quantify the range of motion of upper limb while eating with and without a universal cuff (UC). Method: The feeding cycle was divided into pre-feeding and feeding phases. The pre-feeding phase was operationally defined as scooping water with a spoon. The feeding phase was operationally defined as bringing the spoon to the mouth. A three-dimensional CMS70P analysis system was used to record upper limb motion during eating activities. Ten male and eight female healthy volunteers participated in this study. Results: (1) in pre-feeding phase: when a spoon without a UC was used, wrist was flexed and shoulder was adducted. However, when a UC with a spoon, the wrist was extended and shoulder was abducted. Also, the range of motions (ROMs) of shoulder flexion and internal rotation were significantly increased (p<0.05). (2) In feeding phase: when a spoon without a UC was used, wrist was flexed and radially deviated. However, when a spoon was used in a UC with a spoon, wrist was extended and ulnarly deviated. The ROMs of forearm supination, shoulder abduction, and external rotation were significantly increased(p<0.05). Conclusion: The ROMs of upper extremities with UC were significantly different from without UC. Therefore, when applying a universal cuff on patients, appropriate ROMs for a universal cuff should be considered prior to OT treatment.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to demonstrate daily occupations and their self-perceived quality in persons with disability. Methods: Twenty five participants responded to a questionnaire, The Occupation Schedule (modified from an Activity Configuration Log). The subjects were asked to categorize their daily activities such as sleep, self-maintenance, work, rest, leisure and to rate their self-perceived quality. Results: The subjects had a high rate of unemployment (64%) and 12 subjects did not classify any occupation as work. The same occupation was classified into several different categories. The quality of occupation was rated at the satisfaction, importance, stress, and time adequacy. Conclusions: The results suggest that the subjects’ classification of occupations and their meanings are important sources of information for the science of occupation and the occupational therapy practice. Occupational therapists need to explore the alternative satisfying occupations to replace the category of work.

Objective: The purposes of this study were to understand behavior problems of preschoolers and to investigate the relationship between behavior problems and the sensory processing skills. Participants: Parents of preschoolers between ages of 4 and 6 who attended D kindergarten or S nursery school in the national capital region. Method: Parents filled out the questionnaire at home from 12th to 14th of August in 2002. We used SSP (short sensory profile) which was used by Kim, Mi-Sun in 2001 to understand the sensory processing skills. We also used CBCL (child behavior checklist) which was reconstructed by Jung, Yeon-Woo in 2001 to understand behavior problems. The results were analyzed with SAS 6.12. Results: 1. The total incidents in behavior problems were 87 out of 200. And the total incidents in sensory processing were 164 out of 190. Among low-ranking patterns, the mark of overactivity was highest with 21.56 point and the mark of flinching activity was lowest with 13.97 point. 2. There was no significant difference in the gender comparison of sensory processing, but there were significant differences in gender comparison of aggressive behavior and flinching behavior in behavior problems. 3. There was no significant finding in age difference. 4. In correlation between behavior problems and sensory processing skills, as the incidents of hyperactivity rose the incidents of underresponsive/seeks sensation and auditory filtering decreased significantly. In relations, as the incidents of anxiety behavior rose the incidents of underresponsive/seeks sensation and auditory filtering decreased significantly. In relations, as the incidents of flinching behavior rose, incidents of movement sensitiveness, low energy and weakness decreased. In relations, as the children acted aggressively the incidents of sensitiveness, low energy, weakness and auditory filtering decreased. In relations, as children acted immaturely the incidents of sensitiveness, underresponsive/seeks sensation, auditory filtering, low energy and weakness decreased significantly. Conclusions: We hope that the children who have behavior problems with difficulties in sensory processing skills can be distinguished on the basis of this study. And we also hope the development of a study which can present the effectiveness of sensory integrative treatment for the children with behavior problems.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of wheelchair propulsion speed changes on the shoulder impingement syndrome. Method: EMG activity of 5 muscles (biceps brachii, pectoralis major, deltoid anterior, triceps brachii, and trapezius) were recorded with surface electrodes in 24 males during propulsion of three different speed levels on a motor-driven wheelchair treadmill. EMG signal was analysed using root mean square (RMS) values. In order to assure the statistical significance of the results, the one-way ANOVA and a Post Hoc Multiple Comparison were applied at the 0.05 level of significance. Results: The results of this study were as follows: Biceps brachii, and pectoralis RMS value variations of wheelchair propulsion speed between 45m/min and 60m/min, and between 60m/min and 75m/min were not statistically different (p>0.05). Triceps brachii, deltoid anterior and trapezius RMS value variations of wheelchair propulsion speed between 45m/min and 75m/min were statistically different (p<0.05). Conclusions: The risk of impingement syndrome has increased from deltoid muscle contraction growth and trapezoid, triceps brachial muscle endurance decrease when wheelchair propulsion speed rises. To prevent from impingement syndrome wheelchair users should strengthen and endure shoulder muscles. Besides we need education on propulsion posture and suitable position for wheelchair users.

The purposes of this research were to support understanding for the structure and content of Occupational Adaptation, to clarify the role of occupational therapist and the main intervention method on this model, to discuss the correlation between holistic thinking and occupational adaptation. To achieve above goals, the literatures on occupational adaptation which was introduced by Schkade and Schultz were investigated. Occupational adaptation is the description for adaptation processing that exists to everybody. Such processing helps the human adapt to occupational challenges, to perform various roles and activities, and to acquire competence. Occupational adaptation is not a collection of technique but a way of thinking about intervention in the individual’s internal adaptation process. The holistic approach, which is the background of occupational therapy, is the important thinking of occupational adaptation. In conclusion, Occupational adaptation is a method to apply the holistic thought to practice contexts. Further study on occupational adaptation is recommended to explore the appropriate methods that are practical for the occupational therapy atmosphere in Korea.

The purposes of establishing accreditation standards for the occupational therapy program are to assure the quality of the program and to assist in the development of the program. Accreditation serves the public as accredited programs modify their requirements to reflect changes in knowledge and practice generally accepted in the field. To students, accreditation provides an assurance that the educational activities of an accredited program have been found to be satisfactory, and therefore meet the needs of students. Also it assists in the transfer of credits between institutions, or in the admission of students to advanced degrees through the general acceptance of credits among accredited institutions when the performance of the students has been satisfactory and the credits to be transferred are appropriate to the receiving institution. The occupational therapy programs benefit from accreditation through the stimulus provided for self-evaluation and self-directed program improvement and strengthening of program self-evaluation by the review and counsel provided through the accrediting agency. At the same time, this process enhances the reputation of an accredited program because of public regard for accreditation. Lastly, the profession of occupational therapy can be strengthened by contributing to the unity of the professions in an activity directed at improving professional preparation and professional practice.
