Objectives: This study investigated the effects of video self-modeling on motor skill performance in adolescents with Asperger syndrome. Methods: A single-subject A-B-A' and alternating treatments experimental research design was used to determine the effects of video self-modeling. Three adolescents diagnosed with Asperger syndrome participated was evaluated. Participants’ motor skill performance was recorded during each session, and COPM were assessed before and after the video self-modeling phase. The data were analyzed visually using graphs. Results: The results were as follows. After the video self-modeling intervention sessions, motor performance time decreased, while performance quality, total COPM score increased. Conclusion: This study showed that video self-modeling enhanced motor performance skill in adolescents with Asperger syndrome.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare time use changing on ages and each year after categorizing occupations based on the data of '2004, 2009, 2014 Time Use Survey'. Methods: The sample over 10 years old consisted of 31,634 in 2004, 20,263 in 2009, and 26,988 in 2014 time use data. We classified life cycle from 10s to 89 years old and behaviors were classified by areas of occupation in OTPF (3rd Edition). Results: The results showed that 'play', 'social participation' and 'rest' time at teenagers are increasing. At 20s, 'education' was increasing and 'work' and 'leisure' were decreasing. Adults with over 60 are spending their much time on leisure, but the most activities are static like watching television. Conclusion: Researchers found that there was occupational time use changing based on ages. Therefore, we suggest that occupational therapists need to reflect change trend of time use for occupational balance when they provide OT service.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among quality of sleep(QOS), pain degree, and activities of daily living(ADL) in stroke patients, and their quality of sleep and pain degree impact on ADL. Methods: The study was performed on 100 patients hospitalized after a stroke diagnosis. A study design is descriptive, cross-sectional study. Performance of ADL, quality of sleep, and pain degree were measured using Korean Modified Barthel Index(K-MBI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI), Numeric Rating Scale(NRS), respectively. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, analysis of frequency, t -test, one-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. Results: The performance of ADL in stroke patients was significant correlation with quality of sleep and pain degree( p <.01). The degree of pain did not have a significant effect on the ability to perform daily activities, but the quality of sleep was a factor that significantly influenced the ability to perform activities of daily living.( p <.05) Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the ADL is related to QOS and pain degree, and when the QOS is poor, it has a negative impact on the performance of ADL. Therefore, occupational therapists should consider all these factors for improvement of ADL in stroke patients.
