Purpose: To investigate the effects of intra-articular glenohumeral joint triamcinolone injection in treating secondary adhesive capsulitis after breast cancer surgery. Methods: This study prospectively enrolled 37 participants, including 22 in the breast cancer surgery group and 15 in the idiopathic group. All participants received intra-articular glenohumeral joint triamcinolone injection in the affected shoulder joint. The clinical outcomes included the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), passive range of motion (PROM), and pain intensity on the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), which were evaluated before the intervention and 1, 3, and 6 months after. The primary outcome of this study was the mean difference in the total SPADI from baseline to 6 months after the intervention. Results: The mean differences in the total SPADI scores from baseline to 6 months after the intervention were 36.2 ± 16.4 and 47.9 ± 15.2 in the breast cancer surgery group and the idiopathic group, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.1495). However, the improvements in the SPADI pain subscale at the 3- and 6-month follow-up visits (−31.2 vs. −48.8, p = 0.042; −34.1 vs. −50.7, p = 0.0006) and the PROM of abduction at the 3-month follow-up (52.4 vs. 70.3, p = 0.0072) were inferior in the breast cancer surgery group compared to the idiopathic group. There were no adverse events in either group. Conclusion: Intra-articular triamcinolone injection is an effective and safe treatment option for adhesive capsulitis after breast cancer surgery; however, it has less effect than for idiopathic adhesive capsulitis.

Importance: Patient-reported outcome measures provide insights into intervention effects on patients. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) emphasizes identifying priorities in daily activity engagement and evaluating an individual's perception of changes over time. Objective: To assess the responsiveness of the COPM and the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) among patients with frozen shoulders. Design: Prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Setting: Two physical medicine and rehabilitation clinics. Participants: Ninety-four patients with frozen shoulders enrolled in a previous study. Outcomes and Measures: Baseline and 3-mo evaluations of the COPM and other measures. Responsiveness was assessed using effect size (ES) and standardized response mean (SRM). The MCID values were determined through a distribution-based approach, which used the 0.5 standard deviation and ES methods, and an anchor-based approach, which used the receiver operating characteristic curve method. Results: The ES and SRM results indicated that the COPM had high responsiveness. The distribution-based MCID values for COPM Performance and COPM Satisfaction were 1.17 and 1.44, respectively. The anchor-based MCID values were 2.5 (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.78, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.64–0.91]) and 2.1 (AUC = 0.76, 95% CI [0.60–0.91]), respectively. Conclusions and Relevance: The findings suggest that the COPM is a responsive outcome measure for patients with frozen shoulder. The established MCID values for the COPM can be valuable for interpreting changes in patient performance and satisfaction, thus aiding clinical interventions and research planning. Plain-Language Summary: This is the first study to review the effectiveness of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) to determine the success of occupational therapy interventions for people with a frozen shoulder. The findings suggest that the COPM is an effective and valuable tool for clients with a frozen shoulder to understand their experiences and treatment priorities and to detect meaningful changes in their performance and satisfaction after an occupational therapy intervention. This is the first study to review the effectiveness of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) to determine the success of occupational therapy interventions for people with a frozen shoulder.

This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the association between ambulatory status at discharge and six-month post-discharge mortality among adults with coronavirus disease (COVID-19). We analyzed data from 398 patients aged over 18 admitted to a tertiary hospital in South Korea between December 2019 and June 2022. Patients were classified into two groups based on their ambulatory status at discharge: ambulatory (able to walk independently, n = 286) and non-ambulatory (unable to walk independently, requiring wheelchair or bed-bound, n = 112). Our analysis revealed that six-month survival rates were significantly higher in the ambulatory group (94.2%) compared to the non-ambulatory group (84.4%). Multivariate analysis identified ambulatory status at discharge (p = 0.047) and pre-existing malignancy (p = 0.007) as significant prognostic factors for post-discharge survival. This study highlights that the ability to walk independently at discharge is a crucial predictor of six-month survival in COVID-19 patients. These findings emphasize the need for interventions to improve the physical performance of non-ambulatory patients, potentially enhancing their survival prospects. This underscores the importance of targeted rehabilitation and physical therapy for the comprehensive care of COVID-19 survivors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Functional Status Score for the Intensive Care Unit (FSS-ICU) evaluates the physical function of ICU patients. The objective of the study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the FSS-ICU into Korean and assess its reliability and validity. An expert committee supervised the forward and backward translation process and the final translated version. Experienced physiotherapists assessed patients (n= 31) from a medical ICU using the Korean version of FSS-ICU. Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Bland–Altman's plots were used to evaluate reliability, and Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency. Construct validity was evaluated using Spearman's correlation coefficients. Two physiotherapists in each of the two university hospitals independently assessed 31 medical ICU patients, with a mean FSS-ICU total score of 23 (range: 4–35). The FSS-ICU Korean version demonstrated excellent internal consistency, with Cronbach's alpha of 0.897 for the total FSS-ICU score, and a range of 0.844–0.892 with deletion of each individual activity within the FSS-ICU. Intra-rater and inter-rater reliability were excellent for all of five FSS-ICU activities and the total score, with an ICC range of 0.930–0.993. Bland–Altman's plots revealed a mean difference in FSS-ICU total score of 0.2 (95% limits of agreement: −1.9 to 2.3) between two physiotherapists. The Korean version of FSS-ICU had good convergent and divergent validity with moderate to strong correlation with mobility and muscle strength measures, and poor correlation with unrelated measures. The Korean version of the FSS-ICU showed excellent intra-rater and inter-rater reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity for medical ICU patients. The results of this study, along with prior publications, support that the FSS-ICU Korean version is a valid and reliable assessment tool for the ICU environment. Intensive care unit patients usually experience decreased muscle strength and physical function. The Korean version of the Functional Status Score for the Intensive Care Unit (FSS-ICU) is suitable for use with Korean speakers and has a valid, reliable measurement tool for physical function of intensive care unit patients. A well-standardized training with videos and written materials is important to ensure correct implementation of the Korean version of the FSS-ICU. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background and Objectives: The study aimed to establish the threshold values and prevalence of sarcopenia and to investigate the association of sarcopenia with metabolic syndrome in an urban Korean population. Materials and Methods: The study included 300,090 adults who underwent anthropometric analyses by bioelectrical impedance analyzer. Sarcopenia was defined as: (1) class I, skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) within −1 to −2 standard deviations (SDs); (2) or class II, <−2 SD of SMI in a young population. Results: Low SMI threshold levels for class I and class II sarcopenia were 39.8 and 36.7% in men, and 35.5 and 32.3% in women. Among all age groups, the prevalence rates of sarcopenia were highest in the age group 80–89 years. Following adjustment for possible confounders including age, sex, height, metabolic and health behavioral factors, adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for the risk of metabolic syndrome were 2.43 (2.33–2.54) for class I and 2.69 (2.49–2.91) for class II sarcopenia, compared with the normal reference. Sarcopenia was more strongly associated with metabolic syndrome in women than men (p for interaction < 0.01). The threshold values and prevalence of sarcopenia were demonstrated in a large Korean urban population. Conclusions: This study identified that sarcopenia was associated with increased risk of metabolic syndrome, showing itself to be significantly higher in women than men. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Despite the increasing interest in RF (Radiofrequency) therapy, little is known about its effectiveness for low back pain (LBP). The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of 4.4-MHz RF diathermy compared to ultrasound (US) in patients with LBP. One-hundred-and-eighteen patients with LBP were randomized with RF (n = 62) or US (n = 56). Investigator and subjects were blinded to the treatment group. Either RF (4.4 MHz, 45 W/cm2) or US (1 MHz, 2 W/cm2) was applied for 10 to 15 min, 3 times per week for 4 weeks. The primary outcome was the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI, %). Secondary outcomes were numeric rating scale (NRS), Biering–Sorensen test, up-and-go test, successful pain relief, and successful functional improvement. Clinical outcomes were evaluated prior to intervention (baseline), and at 4 and 12 weeks after treatment. There were no significant differences between the groups regarding baseline demographic and clinical characteristics. Both groups observed a significant improvement of ODI (%), NRS, Biering–Sorensen test, and up-and-go test at 4 and 12 weeks after treatment (p < 0.05); however, no significant differences were found between groups. The RF group showed a higher proportion of successful pain relief at 12 weeks after treatment than the US group (p = 0.048). The RF diathermy showed favorable results in pain reduction, improvement of function, mobility, and back muscle endurance. Compared with US, RF diathermy obtained slightly better perception of patients in pain relief at 12 weeks after treatment. The results from this study indicated that 4.4-MHz RF diathermy can effectively be used as a conservative treatment option for patients with LBP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently, ultrasound measurements of the shoulder such as thickening of the rotator interval (RI) and the axillary recess (AR) are suggested as specific indicators of adhesive capsulitis. Herein, we evaluated the sequential changes in ultrasound parameters and clinical impairments and the correlation between the two in the case of adhesive capsulitis through a prospective observational study of 56 patients with adhesive capsulitis. Clinical assessments and ultrasound parameters, including the thicknesses of the RI and AR, were surveyed at baseline and after 1, 3, and 6 months. In 56 patients with adhesive capsulitis, the thickness of the AR significantly decreased at each follow-up evaluation, but the thickness of the RI showed a significant decrease only between the baseline and 1-month evaluation. In repeated analyses of correlation, the thickness of the AR was strongly correlated with all clinical impairments except the pain at rest and range of internal rotation in the affected shoulder. The thickness of AR was correlated with clinical impairments in patients with adhesive capsulitis during the 6 months follow up and could be useful as a surrogate marker in patients with adhesive capsulitis.

- Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of poststroke complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) to estimate related factors for poststroke CRPS in patients with first-ever stroke. This was a retrospective cross-sectional cohort study of adult patients (age >18y) with stroke who were admitted to rehabilitation unit from December 2014 to May 2018 in Korea. Single acute rehabilitation unit of university hospital. Participants (N=313) diagnosed with first-ever stroke were identified from the stroke rehabilitation registry of our institute. Not applicable. Prevalence of poststroke CRPS based on clinical features and 3-phase bone scintigraphy and the related factors of poststroke CRPS. A total of 313 records were analyzed, including demographic, clinical characteristics, and functional variables. Poststroke CRPS was found in 8.94% (28 of 313) patients with first-ever stroke. Logistic regression analysis showed that Fugl Meyer Assessment of Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) score was a significant associated factor for the presence of CRPS (odds ratio, 0.96; 95% confidence interval, 0.94-0.98; P =.003). The cutoff value of 76 points for FMA-UE score yielded moderate accuracy in identifying of poststroke CRPS (92.6% sensitivity, 65.8% specificity, and 0.85 area under the curve). The prevalence of poststroke CRPS was 8.94% in patients with first-ever stroke. The FMA-UE score was associated with the poststroke CRPS. Therefore, in patients with low FMA-UE score, prevention and high suspicion of post-stroke CRPS is necessary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purposes were to calculate total voxel volume of the entire capsulo-synovial enhanced portion on contrast-enhanced (CE) MRI in adhesive capsulitis, and to investigate its association with glenohumeral joint volume and passive range of motions (ROMs), which are a well-known diagnostic reference standard and clinical hallmark of this condition. Medical records of 169 consecutive patients who underwent ultrasound-guided intraarticular injection with adhesive capsulitis and CE-MRI to exclude other mimicking shoulder diseases were retrospectively reviewed. To calculate total voxel volume of entire capsulo-synovial enhanced portion on CE-MRI, voxel-based 3-dimensional (3D) segmentation was obtained semi-automatically using Fiji, an open-source image processing software. Pearson's correlation coefficients were analyzed. Sixty patients who met eligibility criteria were included. Total voxel volume showed a significant inverse correlation with the glenohumeral joint volume (r = −0.528, P < 0.001), forward elevation, external rotation, and abduction (r = −0.407, P = 0.001; r = −0.342, P = 0.007; r = −0.275, P = 0.034, respectively). Intra-observer and inter-observer reliabilities, measured by intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), were excellent (ICC = 0.87 and 0.77, respectively). This study's results indicate that voxel-based 3D segmentation of entire capsulo-synovial enhanced portion from CE-MRI can represent the severity of clinical impairments, such as obliterated joint volume and limited passive ROMs in adhesive capsulitis.

This is a rare case of sciatic neuropathy in a 46-year-old man secondary to an intraneural ganglion cyst from the hip joint extending upward to the lumbar plexus and the L5 nerve root. Magnetic resonance neurography showed that the joint fluid passed through a labral tear and extended rostrally along the articular branch and the peroneal portion of the sciatic nerve to near the L5 nerve root. The condition was treated by arthroscopic disruption of the joint connection to the nerve with resolution of the intraneural cyst and partial neurological recovery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Previous outcome studies for extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) have included clinically diagnosed greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). The purpose of this study is to investigate outcome of ESWT on GTPS with gluteal tendinopathy documented by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: Medical records of 38 consecutive patients were retrospectively reviewed, who underwent ESWT for GTPS with MRI-documented gluteal tendinopathy (> 6 months). ESWT was conducted (1/week) when the Roles-Maudsley score (RMS) showed “Poor” or “Fair” grade after conservative treatment until RMS had reached “Good” or “Excellent” grade (treatment success) or until 12 treatments had been applied. Numeric rating scale (NRS) and RMS were evaluated before, 1 week after (immediate follow-up) and mean 27 months after ESWT program (long-term follow-up). Success rate was calculated at each follow-up point. Results: Initial NRS (5.9 ± 1.6) significantly decreased at immediate (2.5 ± 1.5, p< 0.01) and long-term follow-up (3.3 ± 3.0, p< 0.01), respectively. Success rates were 83.3% (immediate) and 55.6% (long-term), respectively. There was no correlation among age, symptom duration and NRS. Conclusion: Low-energy ESWT can be an effective treatment for pain relief in chronic GTPS with MRI-documented gluteal tendinopathy. However, its long-term effect appears to decrease with time.

Background Context: Lumbosacral disc herniation (LDH) is one of the most frequent musculoskeletal diseases causative of sick leave in the workplace and morbidity in daily activities. Nonsurgical managements are considered as first line treatment before surgical treatment.Purpose: This clinical practice guideline (CPG) is intended to provide physicians who treat patients diagnosed with LDH with a guideline supported by scientific evidence to assist in decision-making for appropriate and reasonable treatments.Study Design/setting: A systematic review.Patient Sample: Studies of human subjects written in Korean or English that met the following criteria were selected: patients aged ≥18 years, clinical presentation of low back and radicular leg pain, diagnosis of LDH on radiological evaluation including computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.Outcomes Measures: Pain and functional evaluation scales such as visual analogue scale, numeric rating scale, and Oswestry disability index METHODS: The MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, Cochrane Review, and KoreaMed databases were searched for articles regarding non-surgical treatments for LDH published up to July 2017. Of the studies fulfilling these criteria, those investigating clinical results after non-surgical treatment including physical and behavioral therapy, medication, and interventional treatment in terms of pain control and functional improvements were chosen for this study.Results: Nonsurgical treatments were determined to be clinically effective with regards to pain reduction and functional improvement in patients with LDH. Nevertheless, the evidence level was generally not evaluated as high degree, which might be attributed to the paucity of well-designed randomized controlled trials. Exercise and traction were strongly recommended despite moderate level of evidence. Epidural injection was strongly recommended with high degree of evidence and transforaminal approach was more strongly recommended than caudal approach.Conclusions: This CPG provides new and updated evidence-based recommendations for treatment of the patients with LDH, which suggested that, despite an absence of high degrees of evidence level, non-surgical treatments were clinically effective.

- Abstract
Background and Purpose: Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) progresses over time and is associated with locomotive dysfunction. Understanding the factors affecting disease severity and locomotive function is important in HSP. This study investigated the factors influencing disease severity and ambulation status of HSP., Methods: We consecutively enrolled 109 Korean patients (64 males, and 45 females)from 84 families with a clinical diagnosis of HSP. HSP was primarily diagnosed based on clinical criteria including clinical findings, family history, and supported by genetic studies. Epidemiological and clinical features of the patients were analyzed, and the Spastic Paraplegia Rating Scale (SPRS) score and ambulatory status were used to evaluate disease severity., Results: Ninety-two (84.4%) patients had pure HSP, and 55 (50.4%) had a dominant family history. Thirty-one (28.4%) patients required a mobility aid for locomotion. A Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that HSP patients lost their independent gait ability after a median disease duration of 34 years. Those with an age at onset of ≤18 years had a longer median independent walking time. Pure HSP is characterized by predominant bilateral lower extremity weakness and spasticity, whereas complicated HSP presents more complex neurological findings such as ocular and bulbar symptoms, ataxia, and cognitive impairment. Complicated HSP was significantly correlated with the SPRS mobility score (β=3.70, 95% confidence interval=0.45-6.94). The age at onset and disease duration were significantly correlated with disease severity, and they were significant predictors of the use of a mobility aid ( p <0.05)., Conclusions: These findings suggest that a later age at onset and longer disease duration are significant factors affecting the disease severity and ambulatory function in patients with HSP. These findings can help clinicians to identify subjects at risk of locomotive impairment., Competing Interests: The authors have no potential conflicts of interest to disclose., (Copyright © 2022 Korean Neurological Association.)

- Abstract
Objective: The incidence of hip fractures is increasing worldwide with the aging population, causing a challenge to healthcare systems due to the associated morbidities and high risk of mortality. After hip fractures in frail geriatric patients, existing comorbidities worsen and new complications are prone to occur. Comprehensive rehabilitation is essential for promoting physical function recovery and minimizing complications, which can be achieved through a multidisciplinary approach. Recommendations are required to assist healthcare providers in making decisions on rehabilitation post-surgery. Clinical practice guidelines regarding rehabilitation (physical and occupational therapies) and management of comorbidities/complications in the postoperative phase of hip fractures have not been developed. This guideline aimed to provide evidence-based recommendations for various treatment items required for proper recovery after hip fracture surgeries., Methods: Reflecting the complex perspectives associated with rehabilitation post-hip surgeries, 15 key questions (KQs) reflecting the complex perspectives associated with post-hip surgery rehabilitation were categorized into four areas: multidisciplinary, rehabilitation, community-care, and comorbidities/complications. Relevant literature from four databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and KoreaMed) was searched for articles published up to February 2020. The evidence level and recommended grade were determined according to the grade of recommendation assessment, development, and evaluation method., Results: A multidisciplinary approach, progressive resistance exercises, and balance training are strongly recommended. Early ambulation, weigh-bearing exercises, activities of daily living training, community-level rehabilitation, management of comorbidities/complication prevention, and nutritional support were also suggested. This multidisciplinary approach reduced the total healthcare cost., Conclusion: This guideline presents comprehensive recommendations for the rehabilitation of adult patients after hip fracture surgery.

- Abstract
This is a rare case of sciatic neuropathy in a 46-year-old man secondary to an intraneural ganglion cyst from the hip joint extending upward to the lumbar plexus and the L5 nerve root. Magnetic resonance neurography showed that the joint fluid passed through a labral tear and extended rostrally along the articular branch and the peroneal portion of the sciatic nerve to near the L5 nerve root. The condition was treated by arthroscopic disruption of the joint connection to the nerve with resolution of the intraneural cyst and partial neurological recovery., (© 2019 American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.)

- Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the association between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and sarcopenic obesity, and to determine age or sex differences underlying the relationship between hs-CRP and sarcopenic obesity., Design: Observational study., Participants: The study included 237 838 participants whose body composition and hs-CRP were analysed at the two health promotion centres in South Korea. Participants were divided into four groups based on body composition: normal, obesity only, sarcopenia only and sarcopenic obesity., Primary Measures: The levels of hs-CRP and proportion of participants with high (≥1.0 mg/L) hs-CRP. Sarcopenic obesity was defined as subjects fulfilling the criteria for sarcopenia (below 2 SD of mean of Skeletal Muscle Mass Index for young adults) and obesity (waist circumference ≥90 cm for men and ≥85 cm for women)., Results: The level of hs-CRP was highest in the sarcopenic obesity group. Following adjustment for various confounders including age, sex, comorbidities, metabolic, health-related behaviour and demographic factors, the adjusted ORs (95% CI) for subjects with high hs-CRP associated with obesity, sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity compared with normal group (reference) were 1.17 (1.05 to 1.31), 2.23 (1.21 to 4.07) and 3.23 (2.71 to 3.83), respectively. In age subgroup analyses, multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the association of high hs-CRP with sarcopenic obesity was stronger in younger (<60 years) participants than in older (≥60 years) participants (p for interaction <0.001). In subgroup analyses for sex, the association of high hs-CRP with sarcopenic obesity was higher in female participants than in males (p for interaction <0.001)., Conclusions: This study demonstrated that high level of hs-CRP was independently associated with sarcopenic obesity in Korean population. We found for the first time that there was a strong association between increased hs-CRP and sarcopenic obesity in female and younger (<60 years) subjects., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2018.

- Abstract
Background: Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is a common systemic inflammatory disease of the elderly; however, the clinical characteristics and therapeutic response of PMR in Korea have been rarely studied., Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 54 Korean patients diagnosed with PMR between January 2009 and February 2017 in a locomotive pain clinic of one tertiary referral hospital. We analyzed epidemiologic and clinical characteristics, therapeutic responses, and prognostic factors for remission-failure at one-year after oral prednisolone treatment., Results: In 54 patients with PMR, 32 (59.3%) were female. The average age at diagnosis was 65.0 ± 10.5 years. Duration of symptoms before diagnosis was 8.1 ± 8.6 months. All patients had shoulder pain (54 patients, 100.0%); 49 patients (90.7%) had hip girdle pain, while 19 patients (35.2%) had peripheral joint pain. Four patients (7.4%) were accompanied by the giant cell arteritis (GCA). There was no seasonal preference for symptom development. Only 19 patients were diagnosed with PMR at initial symptom presentation. At one-year follow-up after oral prednisolone treatment, the remission rate was 35.3% (12/34). Multivariate analysis showed that history of relapse (odds ratio, 6.81; 95% confidence interval, 1.035-44.804) was a significant predictor of remission-failure., Conclusion: The rate of remission (35.3%) after oral prednisolone treatment was similar to previous reports in western countries; and GCA is not a rare condition in Korean PMR patients. Misdiagnosis of PMR is common, and heightened consideration for PMR is needed in elderly patients who present inflammatory features of bilateral shoulder pain., Competing Interests: Disclosure: The authors have no potential conflicts of interest to disclose.

- Abstract
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and subsequent pulmonary embolism (PE) remain significant causes of morbidity, mortality in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Since incidence of DVT after SCI in Korean population has not been much studied, we retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 185 SCI patients admitted for acute rehabilitation unit to investigate the incidence of DVT. Color Doppler ultrasonography was performed to screen for the occurrence of DVT at the time of initial presentation to acute rehabilitation unit. Primary study outcome was the incidence of DVT. Possible risk factors for DVT including the epidemiologic characteristics, completeness of motor paralysis, cause of injury, spasticity, surgery, and active cancer were analyzed. The incidence of DVT after SCI was 27.6%. In multiple logistic regression analysis, absence of spasticity was a significant independent risk factor (P<0.05) for occurrence of DVT. Symptomatic pulmonary embolism was evident in 7 patients without an episode of sudden death. Therefore, it is concluded that the incidence of DVT after SCI in Korean patients is comparable with that in Western populations. This result suggests that pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis should be considered in Korean patients with SCI.

- Abstract
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a rare fibrosing disorder of the skin and joints that occurs in patients with advanced renal insufficiency. This condition is progressive and can be seriously disabling. Gadolinium based contrast agent (GBCA) has been identified as a potential cause of this condition. A 56-years-old man in hemodialysis developed stiffness and contracture of the whole limbs eight years after frequent GBCA exposure for cervical magnetic resonance imaging. For the first time in Korea, we report late-onset nephrogenic systemic fibrosis after GBCA exposure and performed an electrophysiologic study of this condition.
