| Research Abstract |
1. We introduced a newly-developed instrument for monitoring cardiopulmonary and postural parameters (MCPP). MCPP was made and used in the field of rehabilitation medicine. MCPP shows the picture and cardiopulmonary and postural parameters at the same time on a monitor, and is a very useful tool to evaluate the activities of daily living of the patients undergoing rehabilitation. MCPP may provide a useful information to develop more efficient strategies for rehabilitation planning and patients' education.
2. Exercise testing (ET) plays a major role in evaluation of visceral impairments in disable patients. The ratio of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in stroke patients assessed by ET was 18%.
3. The physical status of the patients with myocardial infarction (MI) was assessed before and just after our hospitalized cardiac phase II rehabilitation program, and at a 6-month follow-up by cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Our hospitalized phase II cardiac rehabilitation program improved the management of cardiac risk factors and the physical status in patients with MI.
4. The physical status of the patients with pulmonary emphysema (PE) was assessed before and 3 months after lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS). The physical status and lung function of PE was significantly improved 3 months after LVRS.
5. Rehabilitation to a hepatopulmonary syndrome patient who had living-related orthotopic liver transplantation was established.
6. Effects of physical activities on blood pressure, glucose and lipid metabolisms in patients with stroke were investigated. The results suggest reduced physical activities after the stroke may cause hyper-/borderline hyper-insulinemia. They also suggest continuous exercise is important for prevention of abnormal metabolism in the stroke patients even though the amount of exercise is low.
