본 연구는 중부지방에서 동절기간에 적용 가능한 상록지피식물의 이용을 확대하기 위하여 서로 다른 광조건에서의 생장변화를 조사하였다. Nandina domestica는 동절기 동안 광조건에 관계없이 음지에서 높은 엽록소값을 나타냈다. 이후 4월에는 서울의 반포지역에서 엽록소 값이 광조건에 따른 차이는 나타나 지 않았으나 북풍에 노출되어 있는 과천지역에서는 양지에서 현저히 감소하였으며 잎이 모두 낙엽 되었 다. Ophiopogon japonicus는 지역에 관계없이 2월에 양지보다 음지에서 엽록소값이 두 배 이상의 높은 값을 나타냈으며 L과 b값도 조사기간 동안 음지조건에서 높게 나타났다. 4월에는 반포지역에서 광조건에 따른 차이가 없었으나 과천지역에서는 양지에서 동절기 동안 엽색이 탈색되었다. Pachysandra terminalis는 조사지역과 기간에 관계없이 음지조건에서 엽록소값과 L, b값이 높게 나타났다. 따라서 중 부지방에서 상록지피식물을 이용하기 위해서는 음지조건의 조성이 필요할 것으로 여겨진다.

중부지방에서 동절기에 월동가능한 상록지피식물의 이용가능성을 알아보고자 Ajuga reptans와 Carex morrowii ‘Variegata’, Dianthus ‘Night Star’, Hedera helix ‘Ivalace’, Pachysandra terminalis, Sedum rupestre 등 총 6종의 실험재료를 대상으로 0, 30, 70%의 차광처리에 따른 내한성 증진실험을 실시한 결과, 모든 처리구에서 40% 이하의 생존율을 나타낸 Dianthus ‘Night Star’를 제외하고는 차광 처리에 관계없이 Ajuga reptans와 Carex morrowii ‘Variegata’, Sedum rupestre은 50% 이상의 생존 율과 상록의 잎을 유지했다. 그러나 Hedera helix ‘Ivalace’와 Pachysandra terminalis는 0% 조건에서 전부 고사하였으나 70% 광조건에서는 40% 이상의 생존율을 나타냈다. 따라서 일부 내한성이 떨어지는 상록지피종들도 광조건의 조절에 따라서 상록의 잎을 유지하면서 월동 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

This paper reviews the developmental plan of industry in the industrial present condition of Korean Assistive Technology (Rehabilitation Engineering). The discussion includes the important role that go ahead the research of present condition about the enterprise of Assistive Technology (Rehabilitaton Engineering), reinforce the standard of equipment, the enterprise requesting the enlargement of facilities must lease a low late by the bank financing, give a necessary funds to a excellent minor enterprise, support a variety custom reduce method to buy a machine parts and machinery. The education master plan for rehabilitation engineer must be necessary the national medical engineer by establishing over one department at one big city and one province Further more research studies are required to realize on the developmental plan of Assistive Technology (Rehabilitation Engineering).

The purpose of this study was to assess the biomechanical effects of corset and back brace for low back pain syndroms patients. The subjects of this study were 69 patients with low back pain syndroms who had been hospitalized or were visited out-patient department of the rehabilitation hospital, college of medicine, Yonsei University, from October 5, 1995 through November 5, 1995. Clinical results and datum were obtained by phone calls and chart reviews of low back pain patients. The results were as follows: 1) Fifty - nine subjects recovered over a good grade (85.6%). 2) The standing workers had a little effect of brace for low back pain. 3) After using a corset and back brace, the test of SLR increased from 36.23% to 72.47%, and the ability of ambulation improved from 40.57% to 85.5%. In conclusion, the biomechanical effects of corset and back brace for low back pain patients were found to be decrease pains and improve posture and ADL function.

The purpose of this case study was to introduce a myoelectric hand prosthesis for upper extremity amputee and prosthetic training program. Limb loss can result from disease, injury, or congenital causes. Trauma has been increasingly important role as the cause of amputaion in young, vigorous, and otherwise healthy individuals. The higher the level of amputation the greater the functional loss of the part, and the more the amputee must depend on the prostheis for fuction and cosmesis. Myoelectrical control of prostheses is a recent development and has been steadily gaining in clinical use over the past 20 years. Such a prosthesis uses signals from muscle contraction within the stump to activate a battery driven moter that operates specific component fuctions of the prosthesis. This twenty years old male case was operated a right above-elbow amputation due to tracffic accident and admitted to Yonsei Rehabilitaion hospital for the preprosthetic and prosthetic training. The case was able to successfully complete his myoelectric hand prosthesis training in the February of 1995.
