ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the factors associated with the rehabilitation outcome of lower limbs training with MOTOmed, such as the height and distance of seats, the crank length and the speed, as well as the height of patients. Methods The human lower limb model was simplified into a model of the bars. The activity of knee was as a dependent variable, and the individual body height, distance (S) and height (H) of seats, the crank length (L1) and speed (ω1 ) were as the independent variables, and analysed with control variate method and MAT-LAB simulation analysis. Results Controlling the individual body height, all the other factors influenced the knee joint angle, angular veloci-ty and angular acceleration value (initial or the end value). Among these factors, L1 impacted the mobility mostly, and less as S and H; ω1 mainly impacted the angular velocity and acceleration. Controlling the other factors as S=550 mm, H=165 mm, L1=180 mm, ω1=10 r/s, the higher the body height would be, the less the knee joint activities, angular velocity and angular acceleration are. Conclusion It is necessary to adjust the height and distance of seats, crank length and the speed to meet the individual body height when training with MOTOmed for lower limbs rehabilitation.
ABSTRACT
TCM periodicals internationalization is imperative. By investigating the obstacles and its countermeasures in the process of TCM periodicals internationalization, this article puts forwards that its obstacles mainly exist in the limitation of publishing policy, restrictions of different languages and translation skills, and inadequate of international consciousness in periodical staffs and international article resources;the mainly countermeasures include relieving restriction of language, strengthening staff qualification, changing publishing mode, and expanding article resources.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the application range and preponderance of different therapeutic methods of traditional medicines in overseas countries with retrospective studies on bibliographies of overseas traditional medicines. Methods All bibliographies were articles written in August 1964 to September 2009 and came from MEDLINE data base through searching 17 inferior words of"replacement therapy" in MeSH subject headings. Results We got altogether 10103 articles in 1633 kinds of periodicals concerned with replacement therapy, and summed up to 9841 effective articles in the end. Conclusion More and more attentions have been paid to traditional medicine in overseas countries; Such kinds of articles were mostly published in American and British medical periodicals; articles with advanced technologies and high reliability have more chances to be adopted by medical periodicals; traditional Chinese medicine plays a leading role in the fields of traditional medicines in the whole world; replacement therapy were increasingly adopted to deal with disease protection and health care.
ABSTRACT
From a medical editor's point of view, this article expounded the key points for writing experimental researching articles from several aspects, such as signature of the writers, preface, basic principle for experimental design,presentation of experimental result, and discussion, hoping to provide some benefits for researchers.
ABSTRACT
In Japan, acupuncture and massage does not belong to medical treatment, but a behavior similar to it.Acupuncture and massage along with Chinese medical science suffered tremendous impact since Japan's Meij Restoration.This paper made a summary on the history, development, academy, and current educational situation of Japanese acupuncture and massage industry.
