<p> [Purpose] Herein, we aimed to investigate the effects of bathing in a sodium chloride spring and an artificially carbonated spring on core body temperature and electroencephalograms, to assess whether the springs facilitate sleep. [Participants and Methods] This randomized, controlled, crossover study evaluated the effects of a sodium chloride spring, an artificially carbonated spring, a plain hot bath, and no bath on sleep. The subjective evaluations and recording of temperature were performed before/after bathing at 40 °C for 15 min at 22:00 h, before nocturnal sleep (0:00–7:00 h), and after the participants (n=8) woke up in the morning. [Results] Bathing significantly increased the core body temperature, with significant subsequent declines observed until bedtime. Participants in the sodium chloride spring group had the highest average core body temperature, while participants in the no-bath group had the lowest average core body temperature before bedtime (23:00–0:00 h). During bedtime (1:00–2:00 h), the participants in the no bath group had the highest average core body temperature, while participants in the artificially carbonated spring group had the lowest average core body temperature. The amount of delta power/min in the first sleep cycle significantly increased in the bathing groups, with the highest value during bedtime being recorded in the artificially carbonated spring group, followed by the sodium chloride spring, plain hot bath, and no-bath groups. These sleep changes were associated with significant declines in the elevated core body temperature. Increased heat dissipation and decreased core body temperature were observed in the artificially carbonated spring and sodium chloride spring groups, which increased the delta power during the first sleep cycle compared with that observed in the plain hot bath group, followed by the no-bath group. [Conclusion] An artificially carbonated spring would be the most appropriate given each circumstance because it did not cause fatigue, as observed with the sodium chloride spring.</p>

<p>This study aimed to investigate the methods used for donning ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) in hemiparetic stroke patients and ascertain the effect of AFO type, physical function and balance on these AFO-wearing methods. The study subjects were 26 hemiparetic stroke patients (18 men, 8 women ; mean age : 59.3±12.0 years) who could independently attach and remove AFOs. AFO-donning methods were broadly classified into three types : standing method (donning an orthosis while standing on the floor) and crossed-leg method (donning an orthosis with the legs crossed), and others. There was a significant difference in the type of orthosis between the standing method and cross-leg method. Sensation and trunk flexion function were significantly better when the orthosis was attached by the standing method. Knee-extension muscle strength and seated balance were significantly better when the orthosis was put on by the crossed-leg method. Our results suggest that the differences in the AFO type, physical function and balance may affect the AFO-donning method used by hemiparetic stroke patients.</p>

[Purpose] The objective of this study was to investigate the validity of evaluation of posture and movement by a new tri-axial accelerometer (DynaPort MoveMonitor: DMM). [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-six healthy young university students cycled and the accuracy of the judgement of cycling by DMM was evaluated. The students also performed sitting, standing, walking, and stair walking, and these activities were recorded by DMM and a video camera. We compared the times measured by DMM and the times measured on video, and examined the sensitivities and systematic errors using Bland-Altman analysis. [Results] Cycling was judged correctly at about 30% of the time. The sensitivities of walking and stair walking were over 80%. The sensitivity increased to 88.5% for the static actions of sitting and standing together. [Conclusion] Cycling was judged by DMM correctly about 30% of the total cycling time, and the times of sitting and standing were correctly judged as static actions.

<p><b>Purpose</b>: The purpose of this study was to investigate cardiorespiratory responses and metabolism in acute stroke patients while in the following basic positions: supine, 30° head-up, sitting, sitting in a wheelchair, and standing.</p><p><b>Method</b>: A portable breath-by-breath system was used to determine oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide production, minute ventilation, metabolic equivalents (METs), and resting energy expenditure (REE) in 31 acute stroke patients as they assumed the five basic positions examined.</p><p><b>Results</b>: With the exception of standing, the peak values for oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide production, minute ventilation, METs, and REE did not differ significantly among any of the studied positions. During standing, these values were clearly the highest, and the energy consumption was approximately 2 METs. All of the peak values were significantly higher for the acute stroke patients than for those living in a convalescence/rehabilitation ward. The mean %REE was 132% in the acute stroke patients.</p><p><b>Conclusions</b>: Metabolism did not significantly change among the supine, head-up, sitting and sitting in wheelchair but it is a possibility that the standing position is high in physical load and it is necessary to pay attention to the patient’s general medical condition. Furthermore, the results of the study indicate that metabolism was enhanced immediately following stroke onset.</p>
