Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the change of activity of daily liv-ing(ADL) on task-oriented Learning program in adult with cerebral palsy.Method : The subjects were forty members who were treated at dept. occupational therapy the H Rehabilitation Center in kwang ju from January 2003 to July 2003. The ADL were meas-ured with Functional Independence Measure(FIM) and collected data were statistically analysed by SPSS PC for Wilcoxon signed rank test using NPARIWAY.Results : 1. A age distribution of the subject was from 20 to 36, and the average age was 25.6. The number of the twenties are the most number of the subjects by 28 persons(70%). The men were 19 persons(47.5%) and the women were 21 persons(52.5%). The clinical types of adult with cerebral palsy were dyskinesia 4 persons(10%), spastic quadriplegia 10 persons(25%), spas-tic hemiplegia 12 persons(30%), spastic diplegia 14 persons(35.5%). In the dominated hand, the right’s was 27 persons(67.5%), and the left’s was 13 persons(32.5%) and the number of person with language disability was 26 persons(65%), without language disability was 14 persons (35.5%). The duration of medical treatment was 61 days at the shortest, 123 days at the lon-gest, and the average duration was 82 days. 2. The variation to the performance of daily life after pre-treatment and post-treatment through the general characteristics of the adult with cerebral palsy was significantly (p<.01) in-creased independent of age, gender, clinical types except dyskinesia, dominated hand, speech dis-ability and treatment duration of less than 2∼3month.3. The variation of the pre-treatment and the post-treatment in the detail item to the per-formance of daily life of the adult with cerebral palsy through task-oriented Learning program was significantly(p<.01) increased at the self-care, sphincter control, locomotion, mobility, com-munication and social cognition.Conclusion : Cerebral palsy cause disability on daily life with decrease of motor performance ability by adding marked growth of the adolescence, disease, treatment interruption, trauma etc, to past poor motor control function, impaired balance reaction, muscle spasticity etc. But if proper task-oriented Learning program has been performing to patients continuously, General ADL performance ability will be increasing in young adult with cerebral palsy patients.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of the activities of daily living (ADL) by the motor learning program for upper extremity in stroke patients. The subjects were sixty-two members who were treated at the department of occupational therapy. The ADL were measured with Functional Independence Measure (FIM). The result's were as fol1ows; 1. The ability to perform daily activities after treatment was significantly increased independent of age, gender, cause, affected side and speech disability (p<.01). The differences between the pre-treatment and the post-treatment was no significant correlation to sex, cause, affected side and duration of treatment, but the speech disability was significant. Therefore the pre-treatment scores and post-treatment scores were significantly different. 2. The variation of the pre-treatment and the post-treatment in the detail item to the performance of daily life of the stroke patients through the upper extremity motor learning program was significantly increased in self-care, sphincter control, locomotion, mobility, communication and social cognition (p<.01) Consequently, The motor learning program for upper extremity significantly improved the performance level of all ADL areas in stroke patients.

Although the availability of home care rehabilitation services have been greatly increased since community-based rehabilitation was introduced to Korea, there is still a dearth of studies investigating the performance level of ADL (activities of daily living) for the physically disabled in the rural areas. The purposes of this study were to investigate the ADL performance level of disabled persons living at home in the rural areas of Wonju city, Korea, using FIM (functional independence measure) and to identify the specific areas of the ADL to be trained or evaluated by physical therapists or occupational therapists. 298 disabled people were interviewed by 10 physical therapy students. Analysis of the interviews indicated: 1) Forty seven point seven percent of the respondents were elderly-disabled persons whose ages were 61 years old or above, and 69.5% of respondents has the history of chronic disability period of 5 years or more. 2) FIM score of bathing, and stairs climbing showed severe dependent trend 3) FIM scores of self-feeding, urination, defecation, and comprehension ability were mildly dependent. These results revealed that functional evaluation/treatment for discharging from hospitals to the rural areas should be emphasized on the specific ADL performance areas such as bathing, and stairs climbing.

The purpose of this study was to know whether the performance of activities of daily living(ADL) affect the depression level of disable people or not. In this study, the ADL item was divided into two category as basic ADL and instrumental ADL. The particip- ants were 67 persons with cerebral palsy(aged 16 to 49). Over 80% of the subjects had independent ability to perform the basic ADL, but, in instrumental ADL items, 50% of them needed assistance. Each of basic and instrument ADL item were signific- antly correlated to the depression level(p<0.01). The Spearman correlation coefficients of basic and instrumental ADL item were 0.336 and 0.416 respectively. As before, ins-trumental ADL item score was more correlated to depression level than basic ADL item score.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the fact that rehabilitation therapy helps stroke patients in the area of activities of daily living(ADL). The ADL evaluation tool used in this study is the modified Barthel Index. The subjects were 71 stroke patients who admitted rehabilitation department of Samsung Medical Center from January to September 1997. All subjects received rehabilitation therapy. The sbuject's ADL were evaluated on admission and again at the time of discharge. The results follows : 1. Using the modified Barthel Index, revealed on admission 38.26 points at discharge 68.73 points. 2. Severe disability(Barthe1 score 60 or less) were reduced from 84.5% on admission to 29.6% at discharge. Very severe disability(Barthe1 score 40 or less) were also reduced from 66.2% on admission to 12.7% at discharge. 3. The degree of change in each area of the modified Barthel Index were measured. There was an overall positive change during the admission period. The greatest change occurred in the category of dressing and transferring. The least change in donning & doffing a brace and wheelchair mobility. The modified Barthel Index used to assess the change in ADL function of stroke patients woulds seem to be very useful method. And there should be a focus on the recovery of ADL function in stroke patients receiving rehabilitation therapy.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cognitive perceptual performance in relation to activities of daily living in stroke patients who were treated at department of rehabilitation medicine of the Samsung Medical Center from December 5. 1996 to April 10, 1997. The cognitive perceptual performance was measured by the Lowenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA) and by the Modified Barthel Index (MBI) to evaluate activities of daily living(ADL). Sixty-seven stroke patients were the subjects in this study. Collected data analysis were completed by using t-test. ANOVA, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The following were as follow: 1. Among the subtest of the LOTCA, orientation to time, plain block design, reproduction of puzzle showed significant difference depending on patient's affected side. Orientation to time score was higher with left hemiplegic patients. Plain block design and reproduction puzzle score were higher with right hemiplegic patients. 2. Among the subtests of the MBI, dressing, ambulation, and self-care were significantly correlated with the subtests of the LOTCA in order of thinking operation, visuomotor organization, perception and orientation. 3. The result of the cognitive perceptual function affecting the MBI performance using multiple regression analysis, thinking operation was the most influential factor. The cognitive perceptual perfomance have significant correlation with activities of daily living skills. Also, it is an important factor to functional recovery after stroke. Therefore, accurate evaluation of cognitive perceptual performance after stroke with treatment of each patient's appropriate level should be done simultaneously with rehabilitation treatment to improve patient's activities of daily living skills.
