Background/Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of action observation training combined with intrinsic muscle stimulation intervention on the function of upper extremity in patients with stroke.
Method/Statistical Analysis:Twenty-two stroke patients were prospectively randomized to action observation training with intrinsic muscle stimulation group (N = 11) or action observation (N = 11). The upper limb of motor function and sensory function were evaluated before intervention, and intervention was performed 3 times a week, 40 minutes, 4 weeks, and the same evaluation was performed after intervention. The outcome measure was used by manual function test and sensory test.
Findings: The results of this study showed that there was a significant difference in the test within the group. There was statistically significant difference in manual function test and sensory test in the inter body test.
Improvements/Applications: This study demonstrated that action observation training combined with intrinsic muscle stimulation significantly improves the function of patients with stroke.

Background/Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of interest inducing activities program (IIAP) within three type on attention and self-efficacy in school-aged children.
Method/Statistical Analysis: This study was conducted on 22 children except 3 out of 25 elementary school children registered in the center In addition,they were classified into craft activities, reading activities, physical activities. To determine the change in the child’s attention and self-efficacy, Harris & Harris Grid Test, and self-efficacy questionnaire are used.
Findings: There was no statistically significant difference in attention through IIAP in three groups (p>0.05). In the self-efficacy, there was a statistically significant difference among the groups (p<0.05). And there was no statistically significant difference in attention and self-efficacy among the groups according to IIAP (p>0.05).
Improvements/Applications: We suggest it is important to develop programs for voluntary participation and children’s attention and self-efficacy.

Background/Objectives: The goal of this study was to survey the influence on intervention of task-based upper limb training on activities of daily living and upper limb function in chronic stroke patients.
Method/Statistical Analysis: 32 patients were randomly divided to into two groups. For the affected upper limb, the experimental group (N=16) applied the task-based training program (TBTP) and the control group (N=16) performed the non-task-based training (NTBT). Both groups executed 5 times per week, 30 minutes per session for 4 weeks. The paired t-test was used to compare before and after intervention results of each group. The independent t-test was used to compare changes in results between the groups.
Findings: In the TBTP group, the pre-intervention of Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) is 46.75 ± 3.75 and the post-intervention score is 50.88±4.92. In the NTBT group, the FMA had a pre-intervention score of 47.44±4.44 and a post-intervention score of 49.13±5.14. Both groups showed statistically significant differences before and after intervention (p<0.01). In the TBTP group, the pre-intervention score of Korean versions of modified Barthel Index (K-MBI) was 73.31 ± 6.91 and the post-intervention was 79.00±6.96 (p<0.01) after intervention. The K-MBI score of the NTBT group in before intervention was 78.63±6.32, after intervention 73.81±6.01. Both groups showed significant differences before and after intervention (p>0.05). In all assessments, no differences were observed between groups before and after intervention.
Improvements/Applications: This study did not show that TBTP is more effective than NTBT in improving the daily activities and upper limb function of stroke patients.
