For the use of the analysis of the experiences of the clinical internship, each student was asked to record the checklist at the end of the intenship according to the level of the experienes such as lectures, observations and practices. As the result of analysing the records of the 9th and 12th(1996, 1999)of the Tokyo Metropolitan Colleage of Medical Sciences, (1)recovery and maintain stage over 65years were increased(2)90% of the students were practiced the CVA(3)interview were dicreased(4)informed concent for the families were increased(5)educational and administration & management programs in physical disabilities area were more advanced(p<.05)than the psychiatric disorder and the developmental disabilies area.

The balance reaction was quantitatively evaluated using balance measurement apparatus to study the effects of foot bottom sense and a leg joint receptor on dynamic balance. The following two results were obtained. One result : A significant difference was observed between the equilibrium scores before and after cooling in Test 1, 2, 4, and 6 in the sensory organization test. Although a significant difference between the scores before and after cooling was not observed in Test 3, the latency decreased after cooling. Also for strategy, the same results as for equilibrium score was obtained. The other result ; a significant difference was observed in the latency period of the motor control test between the scores before and after refrigiration during a forward movement of a foot board. Latency was delayed during a backward movement of the board after cooling. As for amplitude strength, it decreased significantly after cooling in all test items. While a peripheral receptor mutually cooperates with a vision system input, it is suggested that it is also associated with the latency of a posture regulation initiation and an activity of a movement machine system.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the sexual difference of the clinical findings of the patient with schizophrenia and physical disability in the physical therapy. Subjects were 129 patients with schizophrenia, who received treatment of physical therapy due to physical disability during the period from July 1997 to March 2000 at Tokyo Metropolitan Matsuzawa Hospital. They consisted of 58 males aged 49.8 ± 13.4 years in average and 71 females aged 52.7 ± 15.9 years on average. We analyzed data of each man and woman by using basic statistics and the exploratory factor analysis method after evaluation by using an original psychosis assessment scale. As a result, four common factors(recognition/volition, disorder of attention, decreasing activity, and symptoms of anxiety)have been extracted. However, the sexual difference was found in the factor structure and in the relation between factors. The disorder of recognition/volition had the influence relatively on the symptoms of anxiety of the male, and on the decreasing activity of the female. Moreover, the disorder of attention influenced the symptoms of anxiety in the male, and it did not influence other factors in the female. I seems that these differences of the structure of the psychosis between male and female cause the different appearance frequency of the symptom and the different belonging factor of each item.

In this paper, we report a result of basic study to produce a radiograph using a combination of a multiwire proportional chamber(MWPC)and γ/X-rays of a sealed low radiation source, which is less regulated in its use. Since MWPC detects γ/X-rays in a single photon counting mode, the dose can be reduced to the quantum limit. This fact maintains the low dose characteristics of the device better than order of magnitude of film-screen. Furthermore data obtained using MWPC cover a large dynamic range of contrast and they are digitized easily to process through computers. We exposed objects to the γ/X-rays and detected the penetrating γ/X's by MWPC. Aluminium plates were exposed to γ/X-rays from ^<241>Am of 351kBq(11.9 keV〜59.54 keV and NpLX rays). Intensities of penetrating γ/X's were measured changing the thickness of aluminium, and an empirical formula to represent attenuation with effective energy was derived from the data. A pipe of aluminium(2.6 cm diameter, 0.2 cm thick)and water in a cylindrical thin plastic vessel(2.6 cm diameter)were exposed to γ/X-rays from the source of ^<241>Am. Distributions of intensity measured by MWPC were compared to the calculated distributions. The diameter and thickness of the aluminium pipe were estimated with enough accuracy. The diameter of cylindrical water was also obtained using the empirical formula. As a leaf of maple and a pair of pine needles are thin, they were exposed to low-energy X-rays(6 keV from ^<55>Fe of 65kBq). Distributions of intensity measured by MWPC reproduce their shapes well. These facts suggest that the sealed low radiation source is useful to make a image of an object using MWPC. Further improvement is needed in terms of source of γ/X-rays, detection efficiency of signals over background and high-speed data acquisition system.
