Purpose: The purpose of this study was to introduce a therapeutic exercise program for successful return to activity after repairing Superior Labrum from Anterior to Posterior (SLAP) lesion. Method: A professional baseball pitcher with type II SLAP lesion voluntarily participated in the study. ROM of a shoulder complex was measured with a goniometer. Internal and external rotators strengths of the shoulder complex were measured with an isokinetic equipment at 60°/s and 180°/s. Results: The results were as follows: Full ROM and shoulder strength were restored functional recovery at the final 5th stage was prolonged more than expectation in order to achieve high fast ball speed and control of pre-injury level. Conclusions: Rehabilitation exercise may require extended periods for functional recovery in an athlete. Also functional rehabilitation stage should be considered about sports specific movements and activities.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of proprioceptive exercise(Aero-step and vibration exercise) on strength of lower extremity, balance and walking ability in elderly women. Sixty older adults were participated in the study as subjects and were assigned. In the older adults of the experimental group(n=30), the proprioceptive exercise was performed. General exercise was performed in the control group(n=30). Both groups exercised 30~50minute a day, 3 times per week for 8 weeks. Strength were evaluated by Sit up & down, balance ability was evaluated by Berg Balance Scale(BBS), One Leg Stance(OLS), Functional Reach Test(FRT) and Timed Up & Go(TUG) test for determining the walking ability. The data of the experimental group and control group were analyzed by paired t-test between before and after each exercise. The independent t-test was used to compare the experimental group and the control group. The results of this study were summarized as follows : There were significant improvement in strength of lower extremity(p<.001), BBS(p<.001), OLS(p<.001) FRT(p<.001) and TUG(p<.001) after proprioceptive exercise. The strength of lower extremity(p<.05), BBS(p<.05), OLS(p<.001), FRT(p<.01) and TUG(p<.01) were statistically different between the experimental group and the control group. In conclusion, proprioceptive exercise can be effective on strength of lower extremity, balance and walking ability in elderly women. Thus, proprioceptive exercise may be prevent falling of elderly women by improve strength of lower extremity and balance.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of medio-lateral pelvic asymmetry on the lower extremity kinematics during walking in female adults. To solve the research question three-dimensional motion analysis was performed with 7 infrared cameras(Proreflex MCU 240, Qualisys) with sampling frequency as 100Hz. Total of 10 female adults participated and they were divided into two groups: Asymmetric group(AG; n=5, age: 26.4±3.8 yrs, Pelvic tilt: 9±2.1 mm) and Symmetric group(SG; age: 25.6±3.2 yrs, Pelvic tilt: 2±1.0 mm). To determine their pelvic asymmetric level, Formatric-III was used. Total of 8-segmental rigid-link human body model(trunk, pelvis, left & right foot, shank and thigh) was used for this study. To find the group differences independence t-test was performed (α= .05). After data analysis following results were found. Firstly, for all of the 3-dimensional lower extremity joints pattern during walking, AG revealed similar pattern with SG. Secondly, for the asymmetric index, AG showed higher asymmetric indices of lower extremity joints than those of SG at most of events. The frequency of this pattern also increase at proximal joints compare with distal joints. Thirdly, for the knee joint, AG showed significant asymmetric difference compared with SG at HC of sagittal plane motion (p <.05). Finally, for the hip joint, AG showed the higher asymmetric indices than those of SG at TO and MSW of both frontal and transversal planes motion.

The goal of this study is to explore the potential possibility of Korean pop-dance program on helping mental health among juvenile delinquents. Having views on this idea, the study was constituted for Korean girl delinquents in juvenile training school focusing on treatment of adolescent misconducts based on their depression mainly, aggression and social anxiety. The subject for the study was divided into two groups; Experimental group(Ex, n=7) and control group(Con, n=11) on the range of 14-18 year-old female delinquents in J juvenile school. Subjects completed 2-hour, once a week of K-pop dance program for 8 weeks. Depression, aggression and social anxiety were measured pre-session, and post-session by questionnaires which were Beck Depression Inventory(BDI), Aggression Questionnaire-Korean version(AQ-K) and Korean-Social Avoidance & Distress Scale(K-SAD). Also, for more verifying the effects of this research, participants were asked via self-report and interviewed. Collected data were analyzed by the reliability analysis, paired t-test and two-way ANOVA with repeated measures. The results are as follows. First, the K-pop dance program has an effect on depression in Ex group significantly. Second, the three of five categories - refusal, guilty feeling and dissatisfaction are significantly declined in Ex group after 8 weeks K-pop dance program. Also, there are significant difference in refusal. guilty feeling and dissatisfaction after 8weeks. In case of refusal and dissatisfaction, it is significantly declined in the Ex group after 8 weeks. Finally, there's no significant difference in relation to aggression and social anxiety. However, post score is apparently reduced than pre score in Ex group.

This study was performed to identify the difference of shoulder and elbow joint ROM according to positions in pitchers and hitters. 60 professional baseball players(pitchers, catchers, outfielders, infielders) were selected for this study. Body composition(weight, BMI, %Fat) was analyzed by using Inbody 4.0. Flexion, internal rotation and external rotation of shoulder joint and dominant thumb up the back, flexion and extension ROM of elbow joint were measured by using Goniometer. The difference of ROM was statistically analyzed by using one-way ANOVA, statistically significant level was p<.05. The results were as follows, 1) Dominant shoulder flexion ROM was higher significantly in pitchers compared to catchers(p<.05) and infielders(p<.05). 2) Non-dominant shoulder flection ROM was lower significantly in catchers compared to pitchers(p<.01) and infielders(p<.05). 3) Dominant shoulder external rotation ROM was higher significantly in pitchers compared to outfielders(p<.05) and infielders(p<.05). 4) Dominant ER/IR total ROM was higher significantly in pitchers compared to catchers(p<.01) and infielders(p<.05). 5) Non dominant ER/IR total ROM was higher significantly in pitchers compared to catchers(p<.01) and infielders(p<.05). 6) Dominant elbow flexion ROM was lower significantly in catchers compared to pitchers(p<.01), outfielders(p<.05) and infielders(p<.05). In conclusion, pitchers and catchers might need flexibility and stability of shoulder and elbow joint to endure strong rotatory power. Thus, an effort and management are required to prevent injury

Boys diagnosed with ADHD by specialist pediatricians and stabilized on medication were assigned to a 72-session exercise therapy group(n=2) or control group(n=2). Boys were assessed pre-post-intervention on the Conners' Teacher Rating Scale-Revised : CTRS-R; Goyette & Ulrich, 1978), the Test of Variables of Attention(TOVA ; Greenberg, Cormna & Kindsch,1997), and the Motion Logger Actigraph.. The purpose of this study was to develop safe and effective exercise program for children and adolescents with ADHD. For the purpose, students aged 9 and above(2 subject) executed the 15-minutes exercise program for 24 weeks. The result were as follows; 1. 15-minutes Exercise Program demonstrated a hybrid intervention model for children and adolescents with ADHD by the gymnastics based on oriental medicine and Western medicine. 2. There was a significant difference in parameters of stress between pre and post exercise 3. There was a significant difference in self-behavioral inhibition between pre and post exercise 4. There was a significant difference in parameters of attitudes between pre and post exercise

This research takes a glance towards the solution of elderly problems by closely examining the inter-relationship between solitude, changes in social network and leisure sport activities by selecting 361 experimental subjects and was able to draw the following results, and compared it to the preceding studies. The level of solitude based on the frequency of leisure sport activities showed a significant statistical difference to that of sense of alienation, social relationship, and loss of one's social role - which are subordinate elements of solitude. The level of solitude based on the time allocation on leisure sport activities showed a significant statistical difference to that of social relationship and loss of one's social role. The social relations network based on the frequency of leisure sport activities showed a significant statistical difference to that of boundary of contact which is a subordinate element of social network. The social network based on the time allocation on leisure sport activities showed a significant statistical difference only to that of boundary of contact. The level of solitude based on degree of leisure sport activities participation showed a significant statistical difference to that of sense of alienation, and social relations and loss of one's social role was affected by the frequency and time allocation of leisure sport activities. The degree of participation of leisure sport activities seemed to only affect the subordinate elements of social network, and the frequency and time allocation on the leisure sport activities seemed to have a significant statistical impact on the boundary of contact.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks personal exercise rehabilitation program on body composition, blood lipid and insulin resistance in obese middle-aged women with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Subjects were 14 obese female(randomly,7 experimental group and 7control group) with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Body composition improved that BMI, WHR, waist circumference, and hip circumference were significantly lower after than before personal exercise rehabilitation program(p<.05) in experimental group. Blood lipid profile almost no changed in both, but excepted LDL-C in experimental group, which was significantly lower after than before personal exercise rehabilitation program(p<.05). Glucose level showed that it was significantly lower after personal exercise rehabilitation program in control group(p<.001) and in experimental group, although it showed trend of decreasing, it didn't reach the statistical value. Insulin level was no changed in both groups. In conclusion, result of this study indicated that personal exercise rehabilitation program in used this study can improve on body composition (decreased BMI, WHR, waist cirumference, and hip cirumference), blood lipid(decreased LDL-C) and glucose level(decreased concentration). Therefore, we suggest that personal exercise rehabilitation program is positive effects on type 2 diabetes patients with obesity.
