Change in EMG Activities of Selected Muscles Based on the Position of the Keyboard During Computer Work for Individuals With a Spinal Cord Injury

Suhyun Park , JUNG, MINYE , Eun Young Yoo and 4 other persons | 2012, 20(2) | pp.137~149 | number of Cited : 2

Objective : This study intended to provide research materials for the proper positioning of the keyboard for computer work by individuals with a thoracic SCI based on the experimental data on the EMG activity of eight muscles related to computer work. Methods : The subjects used were 9 and 11 patients with a complete high (T2-T8) or low (T9-T12) thoracic SCI (T2-T8) of A or B as categorized by the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA), respectively, along with 9 able-bodied individuals. All participants were given the task of typing on the middle line of the keyboard at a speed of 4 characters per second at a rhythm from a metronome for 2 minutes at 2 keyboard heights (elbow flexion of more than 100°, elbow flexion of 70°) During the experiment, the EMG activity (%RVC) of the muscles of the neck and shoulder, such as the cervical erector spinae, upper trapezius, anterior deltoid, posterior deltoid, and middle trapezius, the wrist extension muscle group and the minor muscles maintaining the body core of the individuals with an SCI, such as the latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major, were measured using a surface EMG. Results : The EMG activity of the patients with high and low thoracic SCI was low for the keyboard positioning at an elbow flexion of 70°, which is similar for the anterior deltoid, latissimus dorsi, and wrist extensor muscle group of the able-bodied individuals. Also, for the low thoracic SCI patients, the positions where the elbow flexion angle increased to more than 100°showed high EMG activities of the cervical erector spinae and latissimus dorsi, which was different from the other groups. Conclusion : It was identified that an elbow flexion of 70°is an appropriate work posture for individuals with an SCI. It is thought that further study with a longer research time span and more test subjects should be conducted to explore an appropriate VDT environment for individuals with an SCI under comprehensive computer work conditions.

A Delphi Study on the Modification of a Practice Subject for the National Board Certification of Occupational Therapists(NBCOT)

Lee Jaeshin , Byoungjin Jeon , kim, Su-kyoung and 5 other persons | 2012, 20(2) | pp.151~163 | number of Cited : 1

Objective : The purpose of this study was to suggest the basis to develop appropriate questions for a clinical worksite in the future by suggesting how to improve the practical test of the NBCOT in line with a timely environment and changes regarding the disorder criteria. Methods : Thirty occupational therapists with experience in setting the problems used in the NBCOT and specialized professors were selected to derive a method of improvement for the on-going practical test with the availability for a sustainable Delphi test. A Delphi study was performed 3 times and the 1st survey was made of non-structured questionnaires, while the 2nd and 3rd surveys were performed using a Likert scale. Results : The results of the study show that the problems were proper for improving the test as they were analyzed as being 4.06 on average in the 5-point scale used in the 3rd final Delphi survey. When they were looked into as a pattern, the average score of ‘to diversify (for example, a practical test problem set depending on the patient group) each field’was 4.33, and the ratio of content appropriateness was analyzed highly at .82. Secondly, the average for‘ to develop an appropriate photo and picture data’was 4.38, and the content validity ratio was .45, which was recognized as feasible. Finally, regarding the practice test method, the average of‘ the survey on the range and content for the practical test shall be preceded by the therapists’was 4.67, which was the highest score out of the entire questionnaire. The ratio of content validity was evaluated at high score of .73. Finally, the convergence of the Delphi analysis was .52 on average, and the level of implication was .75, which is regarded as a high score. Conclusion : NBCOT will be improved from its writing style to the style used to verify the mediation during therapeutic work and the evaluation method. In addition, a proper range and contents will be confirmed with the occupational therapist, and case and motion picture oriented questionnaires will be developed.
