ABSTRACT
@#This article proposes a novel occupational practice model implied from the native concept of Taiji Diagram. Four elements of Taiji Diagram, namely Yang-fish, Yin-fish, Yin-fish-eye and Yang-fish-eye, are matched to the elements of occupational practice, namely person, environment, economic condition and mental condition, respectively. The interaction between persons and their environment can be thought as the interaction between Yin and Yang, and the balance would be focused on. Some different ideas may be brought from this model, such as Appropriate Challenge, Appropriate Empowerment.

ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the reliability and validity of the E-LINK system for measuring hand strength. Methods 25 healthy adults were recruited to measure the strength of hand using E-LINK system and Jamar respectively. They were measured again 5 d later. Results The intra- and inter-rater reliability of hand strength measurement was satisfactory (ICC>0.75), as well as validity ( Pearson r>0.75, P<0.01). Conclusion E-LINK system can measure hand strength well.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effects of gait training with an alternative gait orthosis (AGO) on the neurogenic bladders of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Method Twelve patients with complete SCI at the thoracic and lumbar level were trained for 8 weeks on motor and bladder function. After that, specific gait training with an AGO was given for another 8 weeks. American Spinal Injury Association ( ASIA ) sensation and motor function assessments were done before and after the gait training with the AGO, and bladder capacity, residual urine and urine flow rates were also assessed. Results Compared with pre-treatment there was no significant difference in average ASIA senzsation and motor scores after training, but the maximum rate of urine flow, average urine volume and single urination had significantly increased and residual urine volume had significantly decreased. Conclusions Therapeutic gait training with an AGO can improve bladder function after SCI.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore body image(BI),prosthesis satisfaction and quality of life(QOL)of amputees from Wenchuan earthquake and the relationship among them to provide evidence for the intervention.Methods A total of 21 amputees accepted a survey regarding QOL,BI,and satisfaction with prosthesis.The scale of SF-36 was used to assess QOL.Amputees Bodily Image Scale(ABIS)was;used to assess BI.A self-design questionnaire wag used to evaluate the prosthesis satisfaction of amputees.Results The scores of SF-36,ABIS,and prosthesis satisfaction wag 41.90 ±15.00,64.58 ±10.60,and 59.52±11.06,respectively.The ABIS scores in women(65.07 ±12.10)were hisher than that in men(63.20 ±5.0)(P＜0.05).There was a positive correlation between score of QOL and prosthesis satisfaction,but a negative correlation between QOL and BI.The negative correlations were also observed between BI and Vitality,BI and mental health.Prosthesis satisfaction had positive correla tions with education level.QOL and mental health.Conclusion The body image disturbance(BID)and dissatis faction with prosthesis may cause negative influences on the amputees'quality of life.Relevant intervention should be provided of amputees handling their prostheses and body images correctly and raising QOL.
ABSTRACT
@#目的探讨早期康复对屈指肌腱Ⅱ区损伤患者手功能恢复的影响。方法12例24指屈指肌腱Ⅱ区损伤患者,根据肌腱损伤修复术后康复介入时间分成两组,手术后4周内进行康复的7例13指为早期康复组,手术4周后进行康复的5例11指为对照组。两组采用近似的康复方法。肌腱功能采用肌腱总活动度测定(TAM)评定。结果治疗后,早期康复组TAM优于对照组(P<0.05)。结论屈指肌腱Ⅱ区损伤术后应尽早进行康复。
ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo observe the effect of work simulated training for workers suffered from work-related injuries.Methods65 injured workers joined a 2.8-month (on average) training program by applying the BTE PRIMUS work simulated training system, with six-month follow up period after discharge.ResultsDuring the six-month follow up after discharge, 29(44.62%) workers returned to the same company with the same job,24(36.92%) workers returned to the same company but changed job,6 (9.22%)works changed company and changed job ,6(9.22%)works didn't return to work.ConclusionWork simulated training program can improve injured workers'working ability and help them return to work.
