Rehabilitation medicine education for bachelor degree is essential for development of rehabilitation professionals. This arti-cle discussed the contents, teaching, models of the education for the rehabilitation medicine bachelor degree, and some advice for the im-provement.

Recent years a large number of researches and studies of modern rehabilitation medicine have made great progress in various fields,such as basic theory,evaluation,treatment,institution,and network.The objective of this paper is to outline these advances,which could be benefit for medical affairs in rehabilitation of cerebrovascular diseases.

This paper reviewed the development of the horseback riding exercise machine in Japan based on the theory of therapeutic riding, imitating the saddle movement by using data collected three dimensional from living horse, involving virtual reality technique, 6-axes parallel mechanism and motion capturing technique. It is effective to improve muscular strength and insulin resistance in elderly people. Mechanical horseback riding is hopeful to be used in clinical approach to improve the quality of life in elderly people in the future.

Objective To explore the relationship between injury of corticospinal tract (CST), diffusion anisotropic features of white matter fibers and cerebral infarction prognosis in patients with different ages by MRI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Methods 24 cases of cerebral infarction were divided into 3 groups according to age: Group A (n=8, 45～59 years old), Group B (n=8, 60～74 years old) and Group C (n=8, 75～82 years old). DTI were acquired in the patients on a 3.0 T MR imaging scanner in the first 3 days. Before and 6 weeks af-ter treatment, Fractional anistrophy (FA) value of the infarcted focus and the contralateral corresponding brain tissues were measured, and the nerve function were measured by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Results FA values of the infarcted focus were less than the FA of contralateral corresponding brain tissues (P<0.05) and they were significantly improved 6 weeks after treatment (P<0.05).The NISHH scores of corticospinal tract (CST) 2 were higher than that of CST 1 in each group (P<0.05). The NISHH scores after admission were lower than the scores on admission in the same group and the same CST level. Conclusion DTT can show the relationship between the direction and morphology of the fiber tract and the infarct lesions, which can be used to evaluate the impairment of CST at the early stage of ischemic stroke, favoring the prognostic judgment in the rehabilitative therapy of cerebral infarction.

Education of geriatric rehabilitation for undergraduate students is a way to improve geriatric rehabilitation service.The materials,methods,problems involved in the processes of the teaching were mentioned and some solutions to the problems were discussed.

Objective To study the reliability of an implicit memory test-Fragmented Character Identification Assessment. Methods Some Chinese pictographic characters and non-pictographic characters were fragmented to form two sets of identification task. From Sep-tember, 2013 to March, 2016, a total of 78 health young and middle aged people were assessed with the task, and 20 of them were assessed again with another parallel version 14 days later. The internal consistency, test-retest reliability and duplicate split-half reliability were ana-lyzed. Results There was no significant difference in priming of implicit memory between pictograph and non-pictograph (t=1.006, P>0.05). Cronbach's α was 0.763 and 0.729 for the pictograph and non-pictograph fragmented character identification assessment, respectively;while the inter-class coefficients (ICC) of test-retest were 0.785 and 0.771, ICC of split-half reliability were 0.792 and 0.789. Conclusion The reliability is satisfactory in Chinese Fragmented Character Identification Assessment.

Objective To investigate the implicit memory in brain injured patients. Methods 24 brain injury patients and 24 normal controls were estimated by Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Beijing version, a fragmented picture naming task and a fragmented Chinese character identification task. Results The scores of 2 tasks were both lower in the patient group than in the control group (P<0.01). The implicit memory negatively correlated with the score of perceptual closure in both groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Implicit memory is possible to be concerned with occipital, frontal and temporal lobe.

Objective To explore the effect of leg rehabilitation robot training on motor and activities of daily living in hemiplegic pa-tients after stroke. Methods From June, 2015 to July, 2016, 40 hemiplegic patients were randomly divided into control group (n=20) and ex-perimental group (n=20). Both groups received routine rehabilitation, and the experimental group received leg rehabilitation robot training in addition for six weeks. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Limb (FMA-L), the Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Balance (FMA-B), Holden walk-ing function classification and modified Barthel Index (MBI) were used to access the motor function, balance function, walking ability and activities of daily living (ADL), respectively. Results After treatment, the scores of FMA-L, FMA-B, Holden walking function classification and MBI improved (χ2>8.980, t>3.902, P<0.01), and were higher in the experimental group than in the control group (χ2=7.632, t>2.075, P<0.05). Conclusion Leg rehabilitation robot could facilitate to improve lower extremity motor function, balance function, walking ability and ADL in hemiplegic patients after stroke.
