The purpose of this study was to investigate muscle activity of cervical erector spinae & upper trapezius while using a smartphone according to anterior pelvic tilt & posterior pelvic tilt in sitting position. & we also want to obtain basic data necessary for development of IoT devices. Fifteen healthy men & women aged 20-30 were enolled, After anterior pelvic tilt & posterior pelvic tilt in sitting position were adjusted, they used a smartphone for 5 minutes & EMG signal was measured simultaneously. We used median 3 minutes of measured EMG signal. The results of this study were as follows: In the sitting position, the use of smartphone in anterior pelvic tilt had significantly lower %RVC values in both cervical erector spinae (p <.001), left upper trapezius (p <.001) & right upper trapezius (p <.002) in comparison with posterior pelvic tilt. This means that anterior pelvic tilt make vertebrae maintain normal curvature & prevent forward head posture occurred while using a smartphone. It reduces loads around neck & shoulders, so that %RVC value is significantly lowered. In the future, new posture corrected IoT devices with an aspect of pelvic tilt should be developed.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the pelvic compression belt on the thickness of the erector spinae and multifidus during hip extension on quadruped position. Thirty male university students volunteered to participate in this study. The pelvic compression belt was positioned below the anterior superior iliac spines with the stabilizing pressure using elastic compression bands. Subjects were instructed to perform hip extension in quadruped position with and without applying the pelvic compression belt. The thickness of the erector spinae and multifidus was measured ultrasound during prone position, quadruped position without applying pelvic compression belt and quadruped position applying pelvic compression belt. Data were analyzed using repeated ANOVA. Muscle thickness of multifidus was significantly higher applying the pelvic compression belt than without applying the pelvic compression belt (p<.05). Muscle thickness of elector spinae was significantly higher applying the pelvic compression belt than without applying the pelvic compression belt (p<.05). Therefore, the research can contribute to the prescription and application of quadruped position exercises in clinical practices.

목적： 골반 자기공명영상의 치골 결합부가 보이는 횡단면에서 특징적인 H-모양을 보이는 질의 H-모양 횡축과 종축이 만나는 내측 각도를 질각이라고 하는데, 이 질각은 질과 인접한 자궁이나 골반부 구조물의 변형이 있을 경우 그 각도가 달라질 수 있다. 한국 정상 성인 여성인 질각 평균치를 연령별로 구하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 대상 및 방법： 최근 8개월간 본원에 내원하여 골반 자기공명영상을 시행한 환자 중에서, 자궁과 질을 포함한 골반부에 특별한 질병을 가지고 있지 않은 50명의 성인 환자를 대상으로 하였다 환자의 연령은 21-84세(평균 54세)였다. 44명은 출산의 경험이 있었는데, 이 중 28명은 질식 분만, 14명은 제왕 절개술, 2명은 질식 분만과 제왕 절개술 모두를 경험했다 치골 결합부가 보이는 자기공명영상 횡단면에서 질각의 유무와 모양을 관찰하고, H-모양의 좌우측 질각을 측정하였다. 질각의 평균값을 산출하고, T-test를 이용하여 양측 질각의 차이 및 환자의 연령과 출산 경로에 따른 질각의 차이를 통계적으로 검증하였다.

골반근육은 방광아래와 직장, 질, 자궁 등을 지탱해준다. 골반 근육이 수축하면 소변과 대변이 새지 않게 되는 것이다. 그러나 여성들은 분만하거나 나이가 들어 근육이 약해지고 처지게 되면 기침을 하거나 뛸때 소변이 새는 요실금을 경험하게 된다.

When the golf club hits the ground prior to making contact with the golf ball, we define it as 'fat shot'. The aim of this research was to investigate the difference between normal shot and fat shot in golf. Five candidates playing as recreational golfer participated in this research and they were all right-handed people. Time phase between each event, wrist cocking angle, elbow extension-flexion angle, backswing height, pelvis angle, thorax angle, L-GRF, R-GRF, pelvis linear velocity, pelvis angular velocity and COG path were calculated. For statistical analysis the paired T-test was used. An early un-cocking, an early right elbow extension and impact with leaving their weight behind foot were not reasons of fat shot. Backswing height, X-Factor, pelvis angle and thorax rotation angle were not different between normal shot and fat shot. But we could find a pattern of abrupt pelvic movement and weight shift to target direction just before impact in case of fat shot. In addition fat shot showed time-delayed and small value of pelvis linear velocity pattern to upward during downswing phase as against normal shot.

There has been recent interest in radiation-induced bone injury in clinical conditions, especially for pelvic insufficiency fracture (PIF). A PIF is caused by the effect of normal or physiological stress on bone with demineralization and decreased elastic resistance. Pelvic radiotherapy (RT) can also contribute to the development of a PIF. A PIF has been regarded as a rare complication with the use of megavoltage equipment. However, recent studies have reported the incidence of PIFs as $8.2{\sim}20%$ after pelvic RT in gynecological patients, an incidence that was higher than previously believed. The importance of understanding a PIF lies in the potential for misdiagnosis as a bony metastasis. If patients complain of pelvic pain after whole-pelvis radiation therapy, the presence of a PIF must be considered in the differential diagnosis. The use of multibeam arrangements and conformal RT to reduce the volume and dose of irradiated pelvic bone can be helpful to minimize the risk of fracture. In addition to a PIF, osteonecrosis and avascular necrosis of the femoral head can develop after radiation therapy. Osteoradionecrosis of the pelvic bone is a clinical diagnostic challenge that must be differentiated from an osseous metastasis. A post-radiation bone sarcoma can result as a long-term sequela of pelvic irradiation for uterine cervical cancer.

Hemodynamically unstable pelvic fractures show a remarkably high mortality rate of 40% to 60%. However, their standard of care remains controversial. We report here a case of a 78-year-old woman who was admitted to the Emergency Department with pelvic pain following a fall. Based on pelvic radiography, she was diagnosed with an unstable pelvic fracture. Her blood pressure was 60/40 mmHg, and owing to her unstable vital signs, emergency angiography was performed without computed tomography (CT). Both internal iliac arteries were embolized without sub-branch selection for prompt control of pelvic bleeding. Following embolization, her vital signs were stabilized. Subsequent CT revealed free intra-abdominal air, suggesting bowel perforation had occurred and necessitating emergency laparotomy. An approximately 1 cm-sized free perforation of the small intestine was identified intraoperatively, and primary closure was performed. A retroperitoneal hematoma identified intraoperatively was not explored further because it was a non-expanding and non-pulsatile mass. The patient was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit and transferred to the general ward on postoperative day 3. In this case, the hemodynamically stable pelvic fracture with bowel perforation was successfully and safely treated by prompt angioembolization without conducting CT.

Pelvic floor muscle is the main sub-system that maintains urinary continence. The weakness of pelvic floor muscles causes the stress urinary incontinence, and therefore the degree of functioning of pelvic floor muscles could be used as an index to assess the degree of stress urinary incontinence. In this study, the quantitative diagnosis algorithm was proposed to estimate the degree of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) by measuring the contraction pressure of pelvic floor muscle. For these reason, the contraction pressure measurement system from pelvic floor muscle was developed, and the measuring protocol was suggested to analysis the obtained data. As the results of clinical test, the proposed diagnosis algorithm shows the 80% of accuracy, and 20% of false positive diagnosis. On the other hand, false negative results were not confirmed. Consequentially, we thought that the proposed urinary incontinence diagnosis algorithm can quantitatively diagnose the progression of the stress urinary incontinence and it can be used for the development of the incontinence diagnosis system.
