PURPOSE : Stairwell walking is frequently used as a vehicle to move the human body along with flat walking, and because of its horizontal move ment and vertical climb, the strength of walking on a level surface is gr eater. Therefore, it is prepared to examine the activity of the lower mu scles and provide basic data for comparison with the level of ground wal king for more efficient operation when walking on stairs. METHOD : In this study, 30 adults with no neurological or neurometric problems were surveyed, and the experimental stairs were used (height = 15 cm, width = 23 cm, angle = 30°). Also, the flat ground was mea sured by selecting three or four of the five meters for four walking. RESULT : We selected 15 men and women and compared the muscle ac tivity of walking on stairs and level ground. The result is as follows. 1. As a whole, the number of Bicepsfemoris and Gastrocannemius incr eased statistically when Rectusfemoris and Tibialisanterior steps down fr om level ground. 2. There was no statistically significant difference between men and w omen. 3. There was no statistically significant difference between overweight and underweight based on BMI23. CONCLUSIONS : Compared to flat-land walking and up stair walking, re sult of walkers who climbed the stairs increased overall, particularly in t he normal weight, with a statistically significant value. Compared to flat -land walking and down stair walking, For women, only Bicepsfemoris w as statistically significant; the rest was not significant. For men, only Ga strocannemius was statistically significant; the rest was not significant. For Overwight, only Tibialisanterior was statistically significant; the rest was not significant. For normal weight only Gastrocannemius was statisti cally significant; the rest was not significant.

PURPOSE : The purpose of this study is to compare the infection awareness level and performance of physical therapy students. METHOD : The questionnaire was distributed directly to 4th grade students in physical therapy department, and they were able to ready and reply by themselves. The questionnaire completed on the day was collected by the researcher. RESULT : As a result of examining the influence of the student’s infection awareness level on performance, the regression model was proved to be statistically significant(p<.001), and the infection cognitive level explained about 27% of the performance level. As a result of the regression coefficient significance test, the degree of infection awareness of physical therapist showed a positive(+) effect on performance (p<.001). CONCLUSION : As physical therapy students become more cognizant of infection, performance also increases. Therefore, it its necessary to educate physical therapy students to increase the awareness level of infection.

There are various approach of taping. Diversity in the taping approach makes it difficult to establish the grounded theory of taping. Therefore, it is necessary to classify the taping approach and establish each grounded theory. Orthopedic medicine taping, one of the taping approaches, include an approach called power source muscle taping. This text is intended for neurophysiological analysis of power source muscle taping. The power source muscle taping is very similar to kinesio taping. But it is not exactly the same. Power source muscle taping is only intended for pain only during movement. Therefore, power source muscle taping is only for muscles. Also, in the case of motion sickness, the organic damage of muscles also applies sports taping and excludes power source muscle taping. It is only intended for those with functional impairments of muscles. If the organic damage is repaired, it is subject to power source muscle taping. Methods of orthopedic taping include elasticity taping and cause taping. Elastic taping is attached on a muscle using elastic tape from origin to insertion. cause taping apply an inelastic tape to any part of the muscle. Use the form of cross tape and response point tape for cause taping. Taping attached to muscles can be distinguished by effects caused by physical effects and effects of stimulation. Kinesio tapping has presented the promotion of lymphatic flow by physical effects as the grounded theory. Even in orthopedic tape, the reduction in sensitivity of the muscle spindle due to physical effects was presented by Arikawa Isao. However, I argue that power source muscle taping is a facilitating effect of muscle tension caused by the stimulation effects of taping. Muscles with functional disabilities have some of the muscle fibers tensed in some areas, while others have been relatively less tense. In the end, the overall tension in the muscles is reduced. In this state, the movement causes pain by concentrating stress on the tense muscle fiber. Stimulation by power source muscle taping is carried to the thalamus through the posterior column, but before that, it is delivered to the anterior horn to excite the α-motor fiber and produce a reaction of autogenetic excitation that tensions the stimulated surrounding muscles. In conclusion, it is thought that increasing the overall tension of muscles with functional disabilities reduces pain.
