ABSTRACT
Objective There is a huge demand for rehabilitative services in Chongqing whereas detailed information regarding local clinical services and rehabilitative professionals are unknown. Therefore, a cross-sectional survey was conducted to generate a profile of current rehabilitative status in Chongqing for reference of relevant local parties and peers in other provinces of China to create a larger picture of rehabil-itation in China. Methods The survey began in early January of 2015 and ended on October 20th of 2015. With two categories of information, including background of rehabilitation professionals and rehabilitative clinical services, the self-made questionnaire was sent via email to rehabilitation therapists working in local clinical settings which fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The reminder was sent once a month to those who did not yet replied. The software SPSS 20.0 was used to analyze the data descriptively. Results 7 out of 13 in-volved clinical settings responded with an overall response rate of 53.8%. 98 out of 122 copies were adopted based on filling requirement. The result revealed 68.4%(n=67) of the participants were junior practitioners, 57.1%(n=56) of them had less than 5 years experience and 45.9%(n=45) were holding a diploma with little research experience. As for clinical services, assessment of ROM (94.9%, n=93) and manual muscle testing (94.9%, n=93) were mostly used. The physical therapy service was more prevalent than occupational therapy services. The clinical field mostly involved was adult rehabilitation (77.6%, n=76). Bedside training in the acute phase (81.6%, n=80) and one-to-one treatment (92.9%, n=91) was the most commonly seen mode of service in the departments. Conclusion The local rehabilitative professionals were featured by their young age with comparatively low educational level, qualification and weak research skills. The clinical services they provided were yet quite basic and simple. Thus, a set of policies regarding education and profession in rehabilitation therapy should be facilitated instantly and it also calls for the establishment of local academic society for rehabilitation therapists, thus promoting an all-round development of rehabilitative profession.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the difference of the spinal cord injury rehabilitation physician training systems between Harvard Uni-versity and Capital Medical University. Methods The spinal cord injury rehabilitation physician training systems of Capital Medical Univer-sity and Harvard University were investigated, including the degree training time, residence training time, training fee and institution. Re-sults Degree education time was more in the basic science in Harvard University than in Capital Medical University. The residence training time was 7 years and 5 years for Harvard University and Capital Medical University, respectively, and the ratio of specialties and sub-spe-cialties was not significantly different. There was a total of 26 spinal cord injury community rehabilitation clinics in Harvard University sys-tem, and none in Capital Medical University. Conclusion Some light can be drawn from the spinal cord injury rehabilitation physician train-ing system of Harvard University, to improve the scholastic building of Capital Medical University.
ABSTRACT
@#Based on International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Healthy (ICF), this paper discussed the education of exercise rehabilitation in the terms of the goal, knowledge system and practice system. It suggested that the framework of ICF could be used to develop course system. The professional undergraduate education of exercise rehabilitation should include knowledge of rehabilitation medicine, sports science, and skills in modern rehabilitation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the structure of the visiting technicians in Physiotherapy Department of Beijing Bo'ai Hospital, Chi-na Rehabilitation Center in the past 8 years. Methods 923 technicians visiting Physiotherapy Department from 2007 to 2014 were classified in the terms of provinces from, genders, ages, academic degrees, registers of practices and levels of hospital. Results Technicians visiting Physiotherapy Department came from 28 provinces (municipalities or municipality cities), (115.38 ± 5.30) persons per year, mainly aged 25-34 years (60.78%). The majority of the technicians (51.14%) accepted junior college education, and 46.37%did not registered for rehabil-itation related practices. The visiting technicians were more and more year by year, especially rehabilitation technicians. Genders, ages and academic degrees influenced on the proportion of rehabilitation technicians. Conclusion Institutes sending the visiting technician need to balance the genders, ages and registers of practice, to meet the good practice.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To apply tailored rehabilitation education to video display terminal (VDT) workers with musculoskeletal pain and to assess changes in musculoskeletal pain after rehabilitation education. METHODS: A total of 8,828 VDT workers were screened for musculoskeletal disorders using a self-report questionnaire. Six hundred twenty-six VDT workers selected based on their questionnaires were enrolled in musculoskeletal rehabilitation education, which consisted of education on VDT syndrome and confirmed diseases, exercise therapy including self-stretching and strengthening, and posture correction. One year later, a follow-up screening survey was performed on 316 VDT workers, and the results were compared with the previous data. RESULTS: Compared with the initial survey, pain intensity was significantly decreased in the neck area; pain duration and frequency were significantly decreased in the low back area; and pain duration, intensity, and frequency were significantly decreased in the shoulder and wrist after tailored rehabilitation education. In addition, pain duration, intensity, and frequency showed a greater significant decrease after tailored rehabilitation education in the mild pain group than in the severe pain group. CONCLUSIONS: This study found that work-related musculoskeletal pain was reduced after tailored rehabilitation education, especially in the shoulder, wrist, and low back.

ABSTRACT
@#Objective To observe the effects of different models of rehabilitation education on stroke rehabilitation. Methods There were 35 stroke patients in group Ⅰ，40 patients in group Ⅱ. All the patients received the same rehabilitation treatment, but different model of rehabilitation education. They were evaluated with Functional Independence Measure (FIM) before and after treatment, and the incidence of complications were investigated. Results The FIM grade in all patients increased significantly after treatment (P<0.05), and increased more in the group Ⅱ (P<0.05). The incidence of shoulder pain/ shoulder subluxation, edema in hemiplegic extremity, muscle atrophy were a lower in the group Ⅱ than that in the groupⅠ (P<0.05). Conclusion Improving the model of rehabilitation education can improve the efficacy of stroke rehabilitation.

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of sexual rehabilitation education on the knowledge of sexual activities and satisfaction of sexual activities of spinal cord injury clients by the method of Nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest group. The study period was between Jan. 6th and Apr. 11th, 1999. The experimental group was 21 spinal cord injury clients from one general hospital, and the control group was 21 spinal cord injury clients from three University hospital. Sexual rehabilitation education was done with manuals and video-tapes. Education time was 90 minutes a week for 4 weeks. The study tool was 20 questionnaires about sexual knowledge, designed Song, Chung Sook(1990) and 10 questionnaires from Derogatis's Derogatis Sexual Function Inventory for satisfaction of sexual activities(1979) translated by Jang, Soon Boke(1989). Analysis of data was done by x2 -test, t-test, repeated measures ANOVA and simple main effect with SAS/PC. The results are as follows. The 1st. hypothesis, "The group educated about the sexual rehabilitation has more sexual activities knowledge than those of the uneducated group." is significant statistically(F=12.06, p=0.001). The 2nd. hypotheses, "The group educated about the sexual rehabilitation has more satisfaction of sexual activities than those of the uneducated group." is significant statistically(F=5.04, p=0.030). According to the results, sexual rehabilitation education helps spinal cord injury clients to gain knowledge of sexual activities and satisfaction of sexual activities.
