Background/objectives: This study evaluated the clinical utility of a virtual reality (VR)-based kitchen error task for children (VKET-C) to assess functional cognition in children.
Methods: In total, 38 children aged 7-12 years were included, comprising 23 typically developing (TD) children and 15 children with developmental disabilities (DDs), including autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and intellectual disability. While performing the VKET-C, performance errors were analyzed.
Background: The purpose of this case study was to explore the effects of a school-based occupational therapy on children's attention, school adaptation, sensory processing, and motor function for children in special classes in elementary school in Korea.
Case Presentation: The subjects of this study were a 7-year-old boy with autism spectrum disorder and a 9-year-old girl with intellectual disability. The school-based occupational therapy program consisted of 10 sessions and was conducted once a week for an hour and a half.
Objectives: The aims of this study were to distinguish between behavioral compensation and behavioral recovery and to determine the role of stroke lesions and the optimal timing of rehabilitation in true recovery.
Design: Single pellet reaching test has been performed to analyze both quantitative and qualitative measures of forelimb function in a stroke animal model with lesions in the motor cortex, somatosensory cortex, or sensorimotor cortex. The four gestures of compensatory movement patterns that comprised a reach were head lift, limb withdrawal, pellet chasing, and phantom grasp.
Objectives: This study is aimed at developing multidimensional leisure participation assessment tool for the elderly to achieve quantitative and qualitative assessment of leisure participation and leisure exploration.
Methods: This study collected preliminary items through literature review, statistical office data, and survey of the elderly's leisure activities and considered the list of leisure activities as assessment items by conducting a Delphi survey. Reliability was verified through internal consistency and test-retest reliability.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify the relationship among leisure activities, depression, and quality of life of community-dwelling elderly in Korea.
Methods: We assessed 100 community-dwelling older adults. Leisure participation and leisure exploration were assessed by using the leisure participation for the elderly.
