This paper is a review conducted to provide an overview of the history of the past and contemporary rehabilitation methods for patient with damaged central nerves. Neurorehabilitation is a complex medical process which an aim to facilitate a recovery from a nervous system injury, and to minimize and/or compensate for functional impairments arising from it. By focusing on all aspects of a person's wellbeing, neurorehabilitation offers a series of therapies from the psychological to occupational, teaching or re-training the patients on mobility skills, communication processes, and other aspects of that person's daily routine. Current viewpoint represents a paradigm shift in clinical intervention, and clinicians have differently considered the details of intervention for the nervous and musculoskeletal impairments. Such concepts require to see the overall history of physical therapy, we interpreted the hidden meaning in the history of physical therapy. The current and future physical therapists will be to look at the patients as a comprehensive perspective. Medical instruments have continuously been developed. However, it may not be competed by senior physical therapists working for a long time in rehabilitation field. It’s probably useless to find only a way to treat a variety of patients with neurological impairments, representing optimal effects of rehabilitation, because definite answer to the therapy does not exist and their symptoms should be handled case-by-case. Thus, we need to take the advantages of functional evaluation, and they will be integrated into intervention.

The purpose of this study is to gain an understanding about how job satisfaction affects actual performance of physical therapists. Current year of 2022, 273 participants working as physical therapists were surveyed from September 8 to September 15, 2022. The questionnaire consisted of 69 questions, divided into 4 main parts; general characteristics; professionalism; satisfaction; turnover intention and stressor. Collected data were analyzed using three different methods (1) independent t-test, (2) one-way ANOVA, (3) multiple linear regression analysis. 100% of the participants are fully aware that expert professionalism is necessary in this field of physiotherapy. Therefore, individuals are striving to provide high-quality treatments by increasing their professional capabilities. The results have shown that they are investing 6 to 9 years (34.1%) of time mainly into attending related institutions and academies (50%). Though they are satisfied with their own choice of profession, inferior working systems, lack of social awareness, concerning wage, promotions, etc. hindered their level of satisfaction. As a result, the circumstances have led to job stress and turnover. If improvements such as adjustment of wages, and promotion matching with levels of professionalism, acceptable measures are systematically added as a part of the job, it is plausible that physical therapists can provide high-quality medical services as professionals with stability.

The purpose of this study was to inform the basic information for improving working environment, efficient manpower management, and medical service through investigate the effect of empowerment of physical therapists on job stress and organizational commitment. Job stress, organizational commitment, empowerment were measured for physical therapists working in clinical settings after obtaining a license. In this study, general characteristics, job stress, organizational commitment, and empowerment of subjects were measured using a structured questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed through independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and simple regression analysis. Bonferroni's post-hoc test was performed if significant differences were found among groups. As a result of the study, there was a negative (-) correlation between job stress and organizational commitment. Job stress and empowerment showed a negative (-) correlation, and organizational commitment and empowerment showed a positive (+) correlation. Empowerment significantly affected both job stress and organizational commitment. Therefore, efficient empowerment management will be possible to provide patients high-quality physical therapy and to enhance the work performance.

Aging, in general, leads to changes in skeletal, collagenous, and cardiovascular tissues, body composition, nervous and immune systems, as well as the hormonal axis. As a result, most elderly people have remarkably impaired aerobic capacity/endurance, joint mobility, muscle performance, balance as well as abnormal position and gait patterns, cognitive disorders and depression. Based on age-related changes in the elderly, clinicians use measurements of the following: aerobic capacity/endurance (the 6-min walk test), position (range of motion and thoracic kyphosis index), strength (the grip strength test), gait (the 10-m walk test and dynamic gait index), balance (the Berg balance scale, timed ‘up and go’ test, and functional reach test), cognition and depression (the mini-mental state exam, activities-specific balance confidence scale, geriatric depression scale), and functional activity (the functional independence measure, Katz index of independence in activities of daily living, and modified Barthel index), as standard clinical assessment tools to establish appropriate therapeutic exercise programs for successful rehabilitation. This review describes several clinical assessment tools and elucidates implementation guidelines for the assessment of functional mobility among the elderly in clinical settings. Moreover, this review provides valuable information for clinicians and researchers for exploring the systematic evaluation strategies and optimal therapeutic programs to enhance functional mobility in the elderly.

This study aimed to compare the effects of computerized-assisted cognitive rehabilitation (CACR) and conventional rehabilitation (CR) on visuospatial perception, visual field and attention, and visual memory in patients with unilateral spatial neglect. Forty-eight patients with unilateral spatial neglect were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (n=23) or the control group (n=25). The experimental group received CACR intervention using RehaCom software, including saccadic eye movement, visual field, and visual-motor coordination training, whereas the control group received CR, including hemispheric activation approach, mental imagery training, and vibration therapy. Interventions for the experiemntal and control groups were performed for average 30 minutes, five times per week for four weeks. Outcome measures comprised Motor-free visual perception test (MVPT) and line bisection test (LBT) for visuospatial perception, visual span test (VST) for evaluating visual field and attention, and Visual recognition test (VRT) for evaluating visual memory. Evaluations were performed before and after the intervention. In between- group comparison, improvements on MVPT, VST, and VRT scroes after the intervention were statistically significantly different between the groups (p<.01). In within-group comparison, both groups showed statistically significant improvement in all variables after the intervention (p<.01). These findings suggest that the CACR may be beneficially used to enhance visuospatial perception, visual field and attention, and visual memory for patients with the unilateral spatial neglect caused by brain damage. Further studies will be needed to warrant our results.

Ji-su Park,Dae-kil Choi,Jae-min Park,Yun-seok Choi,Jae-woo Suk,Hae-mi Ji,Tae-hyung Yoon 한국신경근육물리치료학회(구 한국신경근육재활학회) 2020 한국신경근육재활학회지 Vol.10 No.1

The purpose of this study is to examine the types and methods of virtual reality (VR) rehabilitation and their clinical effects, and to introduce recently developed VR rehabilitation methods. VR rehabilitation is largely divided into desktop type VR, third person type VR, and immersive type VR, and various companies have already introduced several such products. In addition, a VR rehabilitation method that surrounds the anterior, left, and right sides of a patient on three or all four sides have recently been introduced that has the advantage of providing a variety of sensory stimuli in an environment similar to real life. These devices vary in price, size, and sense of immersion. To date, VR rehabilitation has mainly been applied to adults with brain damage, including stroke, as well as to individuals with cerebral palsy, dementia, or mild cognitive impairment. VR rehabilitation positively contributes to improvements in their physical function, cognitive function, mental function, and daily living activities for two reasons. First, virtual reality-based rehabilitation provides continuous multisensory stimulation to the brain’s cognitive and motor areas through dynamic interaction with an environment similar to real life. This can positively contribute to the improvement of cognitive, physical, and mental functions through a direct effect on brain restructuring or plasticity. In addition, VR rehabilitation can induce active participation in rehabilitation by evoking fun and interest in patients, using a variety of contents. Thus, active rehabilitation can not only increase the time spent participating in rehabilitation but also improve compliance, which can aid in successful rehabilitation.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of a problem-based balance exercise program on functional performance in ataxic cerebral palsy. A subject was 15 years old male with cerebellar ataxic cerebral palsy caused by brain tumor. To assess changes in function, gross Motor function measure (GMFM), timed up and go test (TUG), Korean version of the scale for the assessment and rating of ataxia (K-SARA), dynamic gait index (DGI). His own problems were identified from th use of Pediatric Balance Scale. A problem- based balance exercise program consisted of four tasks: (1) standing with feet together, (2) standing with one foot in front, (3) retrieving object from floor, and (4) placing alternate foot on stool. A subject performed this exercise program for average 30-min per day, three days weekly for four weeks (a total of 12 sessions). Values of the GMFM. TUG, K-SARA, and DGI appeared to be noticeably improved after the intervention. These findings indicate that problem-based balance exercise program might be helpful to improve balance function of children with cerebellar ataxia. The problem-based balance exercise based on performance was clinically feasible to facilitate a recovery of the balance and motor function of cerebellar ataxia children with cerebral palsy. Further studies need in this field.

The purpose of this study was to find correlations among the Queen’s college step test, modified Queen’s college step test, graded exercise test to predict 85% VO2max. Sixteen University students volunteered for this study. All participants were assessed by three tests. The data were analyzed using one way repeated analysis of variance, and Pearson product moment correlation. The results revealed that estimated VO2max values were significantly different among the three assessments (p<.05). In post-hoc test, the Queen’s college step test value was higher than other two tests. However, there was no significant difference between modified Queen’s college step test and graded exercise test (p>.05). In addition, graded exercise test had a significant correlation with the modified Queen’s college step test (p<.05). Therefore, modified Queen’s college step test may be considered as an appropriate assessment tool to predict submaximal oxygen consumption of normal adults.

Sit-to-walk (STW) movement is a complex task characterized by starting one step before reaching a full standing posture and maintaining the body moment forward until the end of the movement. The purpose of this study was to provide an efficient interventional perspective in close proximity to daily life for improving the function of patients with chronic stroke by providing information on the positive effects of sit-to-walk training. Two patients with chronic stroke volunteered for this study. The STW training fior Subject 1 and the sit-to-stand training for Subject 2 were performed an average 30 minutes per day, 3 times a week for 4 weeks (a total of 12 sessions). Measurements included electromyographic analysis (muscle activity and onset time) on vastus medialis, bicepps femoris, tibialis anterior, and soleus, and timed up and go (TUG) test. With respect to anticipatory postural adjustments before and after training, the tibialis anterior muscle onset time of Subject 1 and 2 decreased from 1.09 to .63 seconds and from 2.46 to 1.25 seconds, respectively. In relation to multi-task performance, the TUG test with a motor task decreased by 5.90 seconds for Subject 1 and 12.03 seconds for Subject, respectively. These findings suggest that the STW training might be considered as a part of functional movement re-education close to everyday life in rehabilitation programs of stroke patients and as higher difficulty training.

Comparison of Knee Push-up Plus Exercise Versus Knee Push-up Plus Exercise with Isometric Shoulder Extension on Scapular Muscle Activities in Subjects with Rounded Shoulder Posture

Chi-hun Lee,Heon-seock Cynn,A-reum Shin,Seung-min Baik,Woochol Joseph Choi,Ji-hyun Lee 한국신경근육물리치료학회(구 한국신경근육재활학회) 2023 한국신경근육재활학회지 Vol.13 No.3

Excessive activity of the upper trapezius (UT) muscle contributes to a rounded shoulder posture (RSP) through abnormal rotation of the scapula that weakens the lower trapezius (LT) and serratus anterior (SA) muscles. This study compared the effects of knee push-up plus (KPP) exercise and KPP with isometric shoulder extension (KPPISE) exercise on the activities of LT, SA, and UT, and lower trapezius/upper trapezius (LT/UT) and serratus anterior/upper trapezius (SA/UT) activity ratios in subjects with RSP. Twenty subjects with RSP performed KPP and KPPISE. Electromyography was used to examine the muscle activity and a caliper, to measure the RSP. The paired t-test was used to compare the effect of KPP and KPPISE exercises on LT, SA, and UT activities, as well as LT/UT and SA/UT activity ratios in subjects with RSP. The LT and SA muscle activities significantly increased during KPPISE exercises than during KPP exercise (p=.004, p=.001; respectively). In contrast, the UT muscle activity significantly decreased during KPPISE exercise than after KPP exercise (p=.001). The LT/UT and SA/UT activity ratios increased significantly during KPPISE exercise than during KPP exercise (both p=.001). The KPPISE exercise may be an effective way to increase the LT and SA activity while reducing UT activity in subjects with the RSP.
