The perceptive health condition of the subjects was in the mid point range of health condition. 3) 46.6% of men and 25.8% of women practiced exercise regularly for their health maintenance and promotion. 4) For the degree of the subject's perceptive health condition, the difference by sex was not statistically significant. 5) 51.8% of men and 60.2% of women has idea for interventions to health promotion program by rehabilitation services.
Korea will soon experience a high demand for medical rehabilitation specialists, if it tries to deliver advanced health welfare service. In order to medical rehabilitation manpower policies, this study attempts to analyse, estimate and plan a long-term supply for physiatrists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists. The study analysed both national and foreign statistical data of manpower supply for medical rehabilitation specialists. A structured category of questionnaire was developed to survey the opinions of regarding the supply for rehabilitation specialists in Korea. Based on the above data, the demand of and supply for each specialists were estimated for long term up to the year 2030. Based on the comparative analysis results of the future demand and supply, the author intended to develop a new supply plan for the three specialist categories. The major findings of the supply plan are as follows : First, the replied proper mean ratios of rehabilitation professionals(physiatrists : physical therapists occupational therapists) appeared 1 : 5.93 : 3.59, and there is no significant difference between interprofessionals (p>0.05). Secons, the estimated demand for rehabilitation services by interprofessionals appeared significant difference among the interprofessionals (p<0.05).
The objective of this study was to develop a management strategy for the recovery of carbon storage capacity of abandoned coal mine forest rehabilitation area. For the purpose, the biomass and stand carbon storage over time after the forest rehabilitation by tree type for Betula platyphylla, Pinus densiflora, and Alnus hirsuta trees which are major tree species widely planted for the forest rehabilitation in the abandoned coal mine were calculated, and compared them with general forest. The carbon storage in abandoned coal mine forest rehabilitation areas was lower than that in general forests, and based on tree species, Pinus densiflora stored 48.9%, Alnus hirsuta 41.1%, and Betula platyphylla 27.0%. This low carbon storage is thought to be caused by poor growth because soil chemical properties, such as low TOC and total nitrogen content, in the soil of abandoned coal mine forest rehabilitation areas, were adverse to vegetation growth compared to those in general forests. DBH, stand biomass, and stand carbon storage tended to increase after forest rehabilitation over time, whereas stand density decreased. Stand' biomass and carbon storage increased as DBH and stand density increased, but there was a negative correlation between stand density and DBH. Therefore, after forest rehabilitation, growth status should be monitored, an appropriate growth space for trees should be maintained by thinning and pruning, and the soil chemical properties such as fertilization must be managed. It is expected that the carbon storage capacity the forest rehabilitation area could be restored to a level similar to that of general forests.
목적: 본 연구의 목적은 긍정 심리 프로그램이 스포츠 손상 선수의 정서, 자아존중감, 행복 및 재활 능력에 미치는 영향을 규명하는 것이다. 방법: 연구 참여자는 최소 8주 이상의 재활 기간이 남아있는 D 대학교 야구팀 손상 선수 14명으로 선정하였다. 본 긍정 심리 프로그램은 개방형 질문지를 활용한 요구분석 자료, 관련 선행연구 고찰 및 전문가 자문 자료를 통합하여 개발되었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 긍정 심리 프로그램(오리엔테이션, 음미하기, 감사하기, 강점 찾기, 주의집중력, 루틴, 희망 고취하기, 종결)은 주 1-2회, 50∼60분씩 총 8회기로 진행되었다. 측정도구로는 긍정정서 및 부정정서 검사지(PANAS), 자아존중감 검사지(RSE), 행복 검사지(Happiness measures), 재활 능력 검사지(RCQ)를 사용하였으며, 프로그램 종결 후 프로그램 평가지를 활용하여 프로그램에 대한 연구 참여자들의 인식을 측정하였다. 결과: 양적 검증 결과 긍정 심리 프로그램은 스포츠 손상 선수의 긍정 정서, 자아존중감, 행복 및 재활능력 향상에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 부정정서 감소에는 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 질적 검증 결과는 긍정 심리 프로그램 구성의 적합성과 유효성을 지지해주었다. 결론: 본 연구의 제한점과 후속 연구에 대한 제언을 긍정 심리 프로그램 개발 및 현장 적용 측면에서 논의하였다.
목적: 본 연구의 목적은 대학 여자축구선수들이 재활과정에서 느끼는 심리적 변화를 탐색하고 이를 극복할 수 있 는 전략을 살펴보는 데 있다. 방법: 참가자는 2018년 대학 여자축구연맹에 등록되어 있고, 부상으로 인한 재활경 험이 있는 7명의 선수이다. 이들을 대상으로 개인 면담과 집단면담을 시행하여 수집된 자료를 구성주의 근거이론 (Constructing Grounded Theory) 접근방법을 통해 분석하였다. 결과: 선수들은 재활 과정 초기에서 부정적인 생각 을 하게 되는 동시에 긍정적으로 생각하려는 노력이 순환적으로 반복되는 심리적인 양상을 겪으며, 선수 생활에 대한 양가감정을 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 재활 과정 중기의 심리적 변화에서는 재활상황 자체에 대한 초조함과 불안함, 심리적 압박감을 느끼면서도 점차 회복하는 신체에 자신감을 얻고 복귀를 위한 노력에 집중하는 것으로 나타났다. 재활 과정 후기에서는 복귀에 대한 설렘을 가지면서도 재발 불안감 등으로 부담과 압박을 느끼는 복귀 에 대한 양가감정이 드러났다. 선수들의 경험을 바탕으로 구성한 극복전략은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 자신감 향상전 략, 긍정적 사고의 전환 등의 심리적 극복, 둘째, 복귀를 위한 훈련을 포함한 신체적 극복, 셋째, 여자선수들을 위 한 전문적 프로그램 필요의 환경적 지원, 넷째, 주요타자지원과 같은 사회적 지원이다. 결론: 대학 여자축구선수 들은 재활과정에서 여러 가지 복합적인 심리적 변화를 겪으며, 선수로서의 삶을 진지하게 고민해보는 양가감정의 갈등이 함께 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이렇게 드러난 양가감정의 폭을 줄이거나 해결하는 심리적 과정은 선 수로서의 정체성을 재확립하는 계기가 될 수 있다. 이를 위해서는 이에 기반하는 내용을 포함한 전문적인 스포츠 심리상담과 체계적인 지원이 재활과정의 선수들에게 필요할 것이다.
NREX, an upper limb exoskeleton robot, was developed at the National Rehabilitation Center to assist in the upper limb movements of subjects with weak muscular strength and control ability of the upper limbs, such as those with hemiplegia. For the free movement of the shoulder of the existing NREX, three passive joints were added, which improved its wearability. For the flexion/extension movement and internal/external rotation movement of the shoulder of the robot, the ball lock pin is used to fix or rotate the passive joint. The force and torque between a human and a robot were measured and analyzed in a reaching movement for four targets using a six-axis force/torque sensor for 20 able-bodied subjects. The addition of two passive joints to allow the user to rotate the shoulder can confirm that the average force of the upper limb must be 31.6% less and the torque must be 48.9% less to perform the movement related to the axis of rotation.
이 연구에서는 현실적이고 유의미한 내진보강비용 산정하기 위해 실제 내진보강 사례를 기반으로 통계분석을 수행하여 건축물의 노후도와 연면적을 고려한 보다 현실적인 내진보강 비용을 추정하는 연구를 수행하였다. 데이터 베이스를 기반으로 노후도에 따라 연면적 대한 내진보강비용을 통계적으로 분석하여 이를 정규화하였고, 역으로 연 면적과 준공연도를 가지고 내진보강공사비용을 역추산할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다.. 지속적인 내진보강 사업 사례의 빅데이터화가 이루어지면 정확성이 높은 내진보강 비용 산정이 실현될 것으로 판단된다.
구조물의 내진보강의 필요성이 대두되고 있지만 이를 담당하는 기관이나 사람은 내진구조 비전공자로 효과적으로 내진보강사업을 발주 및 관리, 감독하는데 어려움이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기위해 분석적 계층화 프로세스를 이용하여 보강대상 건축물의 내진보강공법 우선순위를 제안하는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 이를 통해 담당자는 구조물별, 내진성능 부족요인 별 최적의 내진보강공법을 선정할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
This study aimed to analyze the effects of a horticultural occupation therapy program using a healing garden on the emotional rehabilitation of patients with acute and chronic mental disorders, and to identify the possibility of using horticultural occupational therapy as a mental rehabilitation service to promote the social rehabilitation of patients with mental disorders. In this study, 20 patients diagnosed as chronic mental disorder at Seoul Metropolitan E hospital and 22 as acute mental disorder at Incheon H hospital were divided into 2 groups for Horticultural occupation therapy (HOT) and Group occupational therapy (GOT). General occupational therapy was provided 4 times a week for the experimental groups of patients with chronic and acute mental disorders, and a horticultural occupational therapy program using a healing garden was provided only once a week, a total of 12 sessions, for the experimental groups. For the control groups of patients with acute and chronic mental disorders, occupational therapy was provided 5 times a week only. Among the acute mental disorder patients, the treatment group showed a significant decrease in Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and emotional stress scale (ES), whereas the control group didn’t (p<.001). On the other hand, such significant changes were not seen among the chronic GOT. Futhermore, the chronic HOT showed the significant effect in physical stress scale (PSE).
This paper presents a force control based on the observer without taking any force or torque measurement from the robot which allows realizing more stable and robust human robot interaction for the developed multi-functional upper limb rehabilitation robot. The robot has four functional training modes which can be classified by the human robot interaction types: passive, active, assistive, and resistive mode. The proposed observer consists of internal disturbance observer and external force observer for distinctive performance evaluation. Since four training modes can be quantitatively identified as impedance variation, position-based impedance control with feedback and feedforward controller was applied to the assistive training mode. The results showed that the proposed sensorless observer estimated cleaner and more accurate force compared to the force sensor and the impedance controller embedded with the proposed observer completed the assistive training mode safely and properly.
