In 61 patients with hemiplegia who were under a rehabilitation program, the grade of gait disturbance of each patient was examined by 6 physical therapists. The examination consisted of observation on 46 kinds of gait or related actions; of which 14 were with a handrail, 16 with a cane and 16 with empty hands. Each rater was requested to rate the patient's performance on the basis of 4 stages: impossible, possible with human assistance, possible but not practical, and practical from the standpoint of ADL (activities of daily living). We assigned 1 to the former two cases, whereas 0 to the latter two, respectively.
The data collected in this way were analysed by making the cross-table and counting the number of possible tests in each patient and that of possible patients in each test, respectively. By using these results, we rearranged the order of both cases and tests. We found that the rank of this new arrangement of the tests roughly paralleled to that of the difficulty of the tests and could be diverted to be utilized for the scaling of the latter.

With an aim at making future community health services more effective, the authors have attempted surveys of the living and health conditions of yellowtail fish breeders for Tarumi Fishermen's Cooperative Association over the past three years.
1st February 25, 1982 54 persons
2nd January 31, 1983 70 persons
3rd January 30, 1984 55 persons
In the last survey, 21 persons out of 55 were the same persons who had taken part in the 1982 and 1983 surveys.
Conclusion
(1) Fishermen get up earlier in the morning and set to work, many skipping breakfast. In the afternoon, they are relatively free. However, none use their leisure hours for promoting physical wellbeing.
(2) Many are liable to catch cold and suffer from lower back pain. Obesity, byperlipemia and liver dysfunction due to excessive alcohol intake are notable.
(3) Compared with farmers, they are youg, but many are out of condition.
(4) Health conditions of those who have undergone medical checkups for the therr years running showed some improovement in obesity and high blood pressure, but the cases of ECC disorder and liver dysfunction have increased.
(5) Bad health conditions derived from personal habtis could be rectified if long-term educational measures and others were implemented.
