| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to evaluate an effective defecation posture that lessens the straining and promotes defecation, (1) fact-finding of defecation postures and defecation promoting methods and (2) strain examination according to different defecation postures were conducted. As a result, 80% of subjects had their heads forward while defecating, and as for defecation promoting methods, it showed that physical efforts were made and assistive devices were being used. There was no significant difference in degree of strain within comparison of 4 kinds of postures.
It is possible that since the subjects and research patients were relatively young and no effect on strain was seen with different postures. In future, evaluation with elderly people with decreased muscular strength is necessary.
