Using our observational static balance score, the quality of the balance performance remarkably changed. [Conclusion] The quality domain of our new scale seems to be a useful tool in daily clinical practice and a more sensitive measure in eyes-closed situations.[Purpose] Lateral knee instability is frequently observed in patients with knee injury or risk factors associated with knee osteoarthritis. Physical exercises can strengthen muscles that stabilize the knee joint. The purpose of this study was to define the contribution of the knee and hip muscles to lateral knee stability by comparing the muscle forces, as assessed by musculoskeletal simulation using one or two degrees-of-freedom (1-DOF and 2-DOF) knee models. [Participants and Methods] We evaluated the normal gait of 15 healthy subjects. We conducted a three-dimensional gait analysis using a motion analysis system and a force plate. We considered a muscle as a lateral knee stabilizer when the calculated muscle force was greater with the 2-DOF model than with the 1-DOF model. [Results] During early and late stance, the muscle forces of the lateral knee and hip joint increased in the 2-DOF model as opposed to in the 1-DOF model. In contrast, the forces of the medial knee muscles decreased. Furthermore, hip muscle forces increased during the late stance. [Conclusion] Our results show that the lateral knee and hip muscles contribute to lateral knee stability. Thus, exercises to strengthen these muscles could improve lateral knee stability.[Purpose] To present an accurate and straight-forward system of fall prediction by performing decision tree analysis using both the fall assessment sheet and Berg balance scale (BBS). [Participants and Methods] The participants in this retrospective study were inpatients from acute care units. We extracted the risk factors for falls from the fall assessment and performed a decision tree analysis using the extracted fall risk factors and BBS score. [Results] "History of more than one fall in the last 1 year", "Muscle weakness", "Use of a walking aid or wheelchair", "Requires assistance for transfer", "Use of Narcotics", "Dangerous behavior", and "High degree of self-reliance" were fall risk factors. The decision tree analysis extracted five fall risk factors, with an area under the curve of 0.7919. Patients with no history of falls and who did not require assistance for transfer or those with a BBS score ≥51 did not fall. [Conclusion] Decision tree-based fall prediction was useful and straightforward and revealed that patients with no history of falling and those who did not require assistance for transfer or had a BBS score ≥51 had a low risk of falling.[Purpose] This study aimed to examine the correlation between health consciousness behavior and health-promoting behavior and quality of life, and to examine the factors affecting the quality of life for elders in South Korea. [Participants and Methods] This study is a cross-sectional study. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/GDC-0449.html A total of 191 respondents were selected through convenient sampling. Data were collected with a self-reported questionnaire from August 20 to September 20, 2019. [Results] Differences in health consciousness behavior and health-promoting behavior according to general characteristics and health behavior were as follows. Health consciousness behavior was significantly different according to gender, age, education, religion, occupation, exercise, smoking, drinking, health checkup. Health health-promoting behavior was significantly different according to gender, age, education, stress, health status, drinking. Quality of life was significantly different according to education, stress, health status, exercise, drinking. There was a positive correlation between health-promoting behavior and quality of life. Fifty three point zero percent of the variance in quality of life was explained by health-promoting behavior, health status and exercise. [Conclusion] The findings of this study may be useful in understanding the quality of life for elders and developing more specific programs about health-promoting behavior programs and health status and exercise management strategy is required.[Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of divided attention on motor-related cortical potential (MRCP) during dual task performance while the difficulty of the secondary task was altered. [Participants and Methods] Twenty-two right-handed healthy volunteers participated in the study. MRCPs were recorded during two tasks, a single task (ST) and a simple (S-DT) or complex dual task (C-DT). The ST involved a self-paced tapping task in which the participants extended their right index finger. In the dual task, the participants performed the ST and a visual number counting task simultaneously. [Results] The amplitude and integral value of MRCP from electroencephalography electrode C3 was significantly higher in the S-DT than in the ST, whereas they were similar between the C-DT and the ST. Medium-load divided attention (i.e., S-DT) led to significantly more changes in the MRCP magnitude than did low-load divided attention (i.e., ST). However, the MRCP of high-load divided attention (i.e., C-DT) was similar to that of low-load divided attention. [Conclusion] These results suggest that MRCP reflects the function of or network between the supplementary motor area and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and may serve as a marker for screening the capacity of individuals to perform dual tasks.[Purpose] This study aimed to investigate the effects of Ergon® instrument-assisted softtissue mobilization of the upper and lower midpoints of the Deep Front Line (DFL) on hip abduction range of motion (ROM). [Participants and Methods] Forty healthy adults (29.3 ± 6.3 years; height 175.8 ± 7.4 cm; weight 77.2 ± 9.2 kg) were randomly divided into two groups and received a single 15-minute Ergon treatment in the upper midpoint (scalene muscles) and the lower midpoint of the DFL (hip adductors) on their dominant side. The non-dominant hip served as a control. Pre-and post-therapy active and passive hip abduction ROM at 0° and 90° flexion was examined using a goniometer. [Results] In both experimental groups, active and passive hip abduction ROM on the treated side improved significantly compared to the control side. Scalene treatment led to significantly greater improvement in active hip abduction ROM at 0° and 90° and in passive ROM at 90° compared to local hip adductor treatment. [Conclusion] The application of the Ergon technique on remote parts of the DFL may lead to a significant increase in hip abduction ROM compared to local hip adductors treatment.
