I decided to practice writing skill in English yesterday. It will be fine to start with an English diary.



During day time, I finished the journal reading and helped a cute girl to correct her homework.



The topic of the paper is 'Decrease of hypertonia after continuous passive motion treatment in individuals with spinal cord injury'. The subjects were treated with a machine that could do passive motion with ankle. Their muscle tone of soleus was estimated by Modified Asworth Scale, and the researchers also used EMG to measure the H-reflex of the soleus muscle to detect whether the muscle tone is changeed of not.



After sixty minutes of contimuous passive motion of the ankle joint decreased reflex activity and overall hypertonia in people with or without spinal cord injury. But it showed only short-time effect.



Hypertonia is a common problem with patients who suffered central nerve system impairment. During clinic work, we usually treat patients by stretching techniques. But I thought it's only short time effect, and PT should 出很大的力氣.



Instead of PT's strength, using machine might be a good idea. But it is about the 'money'. In KSVGH, there is a 氣壓式懸吊系統. Stroke or cerebral palsy patients could walk on the treadmill with supportted by this system. Unfortunately, I had never seen it worked.







There are several night markets in Kaohsiung. I choosed the nearest one to have dinner. It's '鼎山' night market.



The most famous food there is '牛小弟steak', '雙蛋蚵仔煎',and '櫥窗滷味'. Unfortunately, I got there too early that I didn't meet '牛小弟'. I choosed the other one '王記'steak. It tasted just OK. Then, I bought three pieces of bread. They will be my breakfast tomorrow.



To tell the truth, it's boring to go to the night market alone. The only thing I can do is eat, eat, and eat. Nobody coudld give me some advises if I want to buy something intresting.



Maybe next time I will try to see a mivie alone, then I will write down another 'alone impression'.



Time to sleep.
