Background: The purpose of this study was to examine and provide the problem based learning based on clinical as a way of efficient learning method about the subject of the diagnostic-evaluation problem solving. Method: The study entailed concept analysis and creating scenarios over the course of 15 weeks with 50 physical therapy students of B university in City A. Results: The results of this study were 1) The model of problem based learning facilitates active group discussion, which consist of 5 small groups with 25 members; 2) Using clinical data, including medical records, references, and video clips, the learning contents are interesting and creative problem solving; 3) The problem based learning evaluates various aspects on the clinical capacity to integrate, which considers professional field tests for clinical as well as etiquette for patients, communication, self evaluation, and group evaluation. Conclusions: The problem based learning model on the diagnostic-evaluation problem solving is consistent with critical thinking, self learning, and team learning. Using diverse case studies with clinical inferences and problem solving skill, the problem based learning affects clinical practice positively. These results propose to explore what might form the basis of learning from a problem based learning model for interesting and efficient effect of learning rather than cramming method of teaching.

Background : The purpose of this study is to investigate physical therapists' burn out, elf-resilience, job stress and social support on the relationship.

Purpose : It lies in identifying how much obesity does affect stroke. Method : The research has been conducted on weight, height, gender and age of 281 patients out of people hospitalized for stroke inclinic and hospitals located in Seoul, Kyungi and Chungbuk Province. Result : This dissertation as compared to previous obesity-related ones showed that risk factor for obesity is rather lower than other factors. Conclusion : Although obesity as a risk factor for stroke had been considered very important, it is reported that in recent years other factors rather than obesity itself increases the risk for stroke.

The purpose of the this study is served the basic data for finding injury causes, preventing sports injury. We investigated the pre-study journals, experiment papers, text books. This study was analyzed swimming, volleyball, baseball, badminton players who occur shoulder damage especially. Most shoulder injuries was the Rotator cuff tear due to decreased scapular movement and stability, SLAP(Superior laborum anterior to posterior), impingement syndrome(Impingement Syndrome), Tendinitis, Supra scapular Nerve Injury, Medial or Lateral Epicondylitis. Most effective shoulder rehabilitation methods is the Sera-band movement, Therapeutic massage, stretching, isometric exercises, relaxation exercises.

Purpose : This study reveals the differences of the educational program, laws and specialized affairs permitted to physical therapists around the world and basic data necessary to improve the education and environment of physical therapists according to the analysis of domestic physical therapy. Result : There have been 2249 colleges producing physical therapists and 54 colleges mostly awarding a bachelor degree among 81 countries surveyed of the registered countries in WCPT. The average duration of education is 3.8 years, ranging from at least 2 years to 6 years. 16 countries have no legislation to prevent private practice, providing direct access to physical therapy, private practice and physical therapy in public system. The only examples in contrast to these countries are Togo and Korea. Although the numbers of PT(professional program) of physical therapy all over the world are 2.1 in Asia of the western Pacific, there is no PT in our country, accordingly the lowest in Asia. Conclusion : Domestic level-up college degree by the reorganized educational system for professional development and high-qualified physical therapists is highly needed because of the gap of educational programs between us and other nations. As private practice permitted to physical therapists graduating from 2 or 3 year-college in foreign countries, we also need to allow private practice of physical therapy center to supply good service, based on the legislative amendment and systematic procedures.
