최근 보행자가 교량의 진동에 의한 불안감을 느끼는 경우가 발생되면서 설계 단계에서 진동에 대한 고려하고 있다. 그러나 설계자는 범용유한요소프로그램에 이동하중을 적용하여 동적응답해석을 하는 것에 어려움을 느끼고 있으며 그 결과 Meister감각곡선에 의한 진동사용성 평가도 정확히 수행되지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 설계자들이 수행하는 교량의 진동사용성 평가방법의 간편한 적용을 위하여 이동하중모델 생성툴을 연구하였으며, 범용유한요소프로그램으로 모델링 된 교량의 매개변수를 변화해가며 진동사용성 평가를 수행하였고 연구 결과 중 매개변수의 하나인 보요소의 길이에 따른 진동사용성 평가결과만을 작성하였다. 평가결과 보요소의 길이에 따라 교량에 발생되는 진동과 가속도의 응답치가 다르게 나타났으며, 발생되는 주요주파수 범위도 다르게 해석되었다. 이러한 동적응답의 결과가 다르게 해석되면서 Meister 감각곡선에 의한 평가등급이 차이도 발생되었다. 따라서 정확한 진동사용성 평가를 위해서는 동적응답해석 시 다양한 매개변수에 의한 동적응답의 결과에 대한 연구는 물론 다양한 교량 형식과 그에 맞는 모델링에 대한 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects on sensory integration interventions for korean children which focused on vestibular - proprioceptive system. Methods : Authors systematically searched published studies in DBpia, KISS and RISS databases from August to September 2015. Key words in the search were 'sensory integration intervention', 'sensory integration therapy' and 'vestibular-proprioceptive'. By using the inclusion and exclusion criteria, we selected seven studies for further analyses examining level of evidence and methodological qualities. Information for the analyses were on study designs, participants, interventions, outcome measures and results. Results : Grade IV rated evidence was found from five studies, and Grade III and Grade V rated evidence was found from one for each study. The methodological levels of the quantitative studies were 'fair' (2) and 'poor' (5). Subjects for the studies were developmental delay (5), Asperger Syndrome (1), and not specific diagnosis (2). Single-subject design was most frequently used and motor area were most frequently evaluated. The interventions used the studies showed positive effects on outcome measures. Conclusion : This study presented the summary of sensory integration intervention based on vestibular-proprioceptive system for Korean children. More studies with high level of evidence and various study designs need to be followed.

The purpose of this study was to verify the construct validity of the Sensory Profile for children with congenital cerebral palsy. Parents of 87 children(the ages of 3 to 10) with congenital cerebral palsy participated in this study. The data were analyzed through Winstep version 3.81 using the Rasch model to examine the uni-dimensionality of the fit of each item, the distribution of difficulty of each item, and the reliability and appropriateness of the rating scale. Based on a Rasch analysis, four out of the 87 children were considered to be inappropriate participants, and 15 item of the Sensory Profile was determined to be an inappropriate item. The items of high-level difficulty are needed as new items of the Korean Sensory Profile. The rating scale of three categories were appropriate than those of the five categories. The person and item separation reliability of three categories was above 0.90, which is a relatively excellent value. Finally, it will be need to verify of validity for Korean version of Sensory Profile, to develop new item of a high level of difficulty and convert into three point rating scale.

Objective : The purpose of the study is to examine the construct validity and internal consistency of the Sensory Processing Scale for Children (SPS-C). Method : 117 participants who are aged 3 to 5 years old has been evaluated by the Sensory Processing Scale for Children (SPS-C) for this study and the period is from November 2014 to June 2016. Statistics used for data analysis is factor analysis for construct validity and Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency. Results : In the factor analysis, the items in auditory, visual, and tactile showed a high factor loading, respectively. The items in vestibular and proprioceptive were overlapped. For internal consistency, Cronbach's alpha was .728 for whole scale which is high level. And Cronbach's alpha of each factor was range within .326~.636. Conclusion : The results of the psychometric test in this study evidence that the SPS-C is valid and reliable to be utilized. Further study need to examine various validities and reliabilities as well as standardization.

The lower limb somatosensory deficit observed among peripheral neuropathy patients is partially related to the decline in their balance ability. In general, balance ability has been examined by measuring the postural response (i.e., action). However, body motion is induced by integrated multisensory cues (i.e., motion perception). In this study, we hypothesized that the reduced lower limb somatosensation might also lower motion perception. We induced lower limb sensory deficits through ischemia and then measured the cutaneous sensory sensitivity and directional motion perception. The sensory deficit was successfully induced, and it also lowered the motion perception. However, the center of pressure (COP) variation did not significantly change under the sensory deficit. This result implies that measuring motion perception could enable the detection of precursors of sensory deficits.

The present study aims to examine the relationship between self-reported sensory impairment and cognitive function among older adults in Korea. Drawn from the 2017 Survey of Living Conditions and Welfare Needs Korean Older Persons, a total of 10,082 adults aged 65 and over were included in analyses. Results from hierarchial multiple regression analysis show that those who reported greater subjective discomfort about vision, hearing, and oral function were more likely to have poor cognitive function. Results from hierarchial logistic regression analysis show. Results from logistic regression analysis show that having hearing and oral discomfort increased the a risk for dementia. Findings suggest that it is necessary to manage sensory function of the elderly at the government level and to develop self-evaluation tools to monitor changes in sensory function for older adults. Future research should target finding effective ways to improve health of older adults.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the recovery of sensation and the restoration of upper limb function according to transcranial direct current stimulation over the primary somatosensory cortex in patients with chronic stroke with sensory deficit. 20 patients with chronic stroke divided into 10 experimental groups and 10 control groups. Patients received transcranial direct current stimulations over the primary somatosensory cortex on the side of the stroke lesion, and The control group applied sham tDCS to the same location. Intervention was conducted 5 times a week, 20 minutes per session for a total of 2 weeks. Assessment was performed using the Erasmus MC modifications to the Nottingham Sensory Assessment(EmNSA), Semmes-Weinstein monofilament examination(SWME) for somatosensory, and Fugle-Meyer Assessment(FMA), Motor Activity Log(MAL), and accelerometer for upper extremity function. Assessment was conducted before and after the intervention. As a result of the study, the experimental group showed a significant improvement in the overall tactile sense, proprioception, cortical sense, and perception sensitivity than the control group, and showed a statistically significant difference in the usage amount of the upper limb. Based on the results of this study, it is thought that the possibility of effective clinical application of transcranial direct current stimulation for recovery of somatosensory and upper extremity function is thought to be increased.
