Method : Students that department of Occupational Therapy in K University was done to target 136 people. SNS strength was measured to be stored in the mobile phone SNS friends and KakaoTalk average call times. measurement tool of social participation was used Maastricht Social Participation Profile(MSPP) as modifed by Godelief et al.(2009). MSPP is composed of formal social participation(undertaking) and informal social participation(contact with friends and acquaintances and contact with family) item. Results : The study shows a significant correlation between the number of SNS friends and Undertaking item and between KakaoTalk average call times and Contact with friends and acquaintances item(α=0.05). Conclusion : College student SNS strength and social participation showed a correlation. Therefore, The higher the SNS strength and social participation is determined to have a positive impact on the daily life of college students.

Objective : The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of aloud reading on handwriting legibility in low-level elementary school children. Methods : The subject of the present study consisted of 45 elementary school 2nd graders who were normally developed checked by the Developmental Test of Visual Perception. Experimental period was conducted total six times that Pre-evaluation once, four times intervention, and Post-evaluation once from November 2 to November 25, 2015. When Pre-evaluation and Post-evaluation was measured the handwriting legibility and speed using Handwriting Skill Test. When intervention divided and implemented to experimental group who handwriting with aloud reading, control group1 who only handwriting, and control group2 who nothing. Pre-evaluation and Post-evaluation identified change the handwriting legibility using Handwriting Skill Test. Result : After intervention, handwriting legibility improve female than male. At word card1, control group1 improve significantly handwriting legibility within group and control group2 come out significant difference but handwriting legibility decrease. At word card2, experimental group and control group1 improve significantly handwriting legibility within group. Experimental group and control group1, control group1 and control group2 come out significant difference between group. Conclusion : The present study demonstrates that handwriting training improve handwriting legibility to elementary school 2nd graders

Purpose : This study attempted to observe the correlation between the activity levels and interpersonal relationships of elderly people. Method : This study implemented the Relationship Change Scale (RCS) and the Korean Activity Card Sort (K-ACS) on elderly people who use community welfare centers in the Busan and Ulsan areas from May 28, 2015 to August 26, 2015. Results : Total ACS scores and sensitivity showed a high correlation with .326. Next, instrumental activities of daily living and sensitivity showed a high correlation of .287, and instrumental activities of daily living and sense of satisfaction showed a high correlation of .277. However, social activities showed no correlation with the subcategories of interpersonal relationships. Conclusion : People who adequately carry out their roles in daily living and enjoy leisure activities showed high scores in interpersonal relationship satisfaction, understandability, sensitivity, and openness. This shows that it is necessary for elderly people to have interest in successful aging such as participation in activities that exceed welfare through simple medical support or interpersonal relationships and in demands related to the quality of life.

Objective : The cognitive rehabilitation were necessary for the elderly has generally decreased memory in order to recovery and maintain. This study showed that effect of memorial strategy program on memory in the elderly. Methods : 20 elderly who has used seniors welfare center in Busan was divided into an experimental group and control group. The control group used program of seniors welfare center, the experimental group participated memorial strategy program twice a week, total of 8 times. We used contextural memory test(CMT) to compared before and after. Results : Immediate recall and delayed recall were no statistically significant difference(p>.05) in both experimental group and control group when compared before and after. But there was statistically significant difference(p<.05) in a experimental group after memorial strategy program. Conclusion : This study shown that memorial strategy program help memory improve in the elderly. Many programs for memory improve in the elderly expect that prevent dementia or mild cognitive impairment.

Objective : We tried to know the improvement and neurological effect of diabetes when the complex exercise training was applied on diabetes that delayed the recovery of the ischemic brain injury. Methods : We performed this study in a animal lab which located in Gyengsangbukdo. We used 10 diabetes rats with ischemic brain injury, which is induced by STZ. We applied the complex exercise training on the rats for 4 weeks. We executed the maze test to confirm the recovery of the brain function and checked the blood sugar to know the improvement. Results : As a result of applying the complex exercise on diabetes rats with ischemic brain injury, there was a significant reduce of error and escape time in 3 weeks and 1 weeks, respectively. There was no difference of the blood sugar in control but there was a significant improvement in experiment group after applying the exercise training in 4 weeks . Conclusion : The senile disease like stroke and diabetes was increased currently. It is important for rehabilitation to improve the quality of life during the remainder of their life. In the study, we've known the improvement of diabetes and the recovery of the brain function when the complex exercise training was applied the rats with both diabetes and the ischemic brain injury.

Objective : By organizing systematically the study case that use Robot Therapy as intervention tool according to PICO (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome), This study aims to investigate the domestic Robot Therapy's present condition. Methods : We searched 710 pieces of domestic scientific journal and master's thesis during the past nine years in 'Research Information Sharing Service' and 'National Digital Science Library' database using the keyword 'Robot therapy'. We finally chose 15 pieces of domestic scientific journal and master's thesis among the domestic studies that based on the full text which is affordable and used robot by therapeutic intervention tool. Chosen studies were layed out by PICO that could organize the resources systematically. Results : The quality of study tool was used to the method of evidence -based study level of 5 step classification. More than three stages of quality level study was 13. Result of dividing the studies using robot therapy by intervention field, language, lower extremity(gait), cognition, development and study for the region of the upper extremity of five is advancing. Conclusion : Nationally, the robot therapy has been used in various area that include the upper extremity and lower extremity's intervention of language, cognition, growth and others. We hope that this study for baseline data will be utilized in various area engaging to domestic robot therapy.
