This paper is concerned with the mutual relationship among interpressure, last. foot within a new shoe and foot within a fifty-hour-used shoe at the standing posture at three different heel-heights 1. The interrelationship between the heel-heights and interpressure is very significant at the level of $0.1\%$. The heel-heights cause high interpressure at different parts of foot; heel point and big toe point in a 3 cm-heel shoe, big toe point and heel outside joint point in a 5 cm-heel shoe, and little toe point, heel-outside joint point, and arch point in a 7 cm-heel shoe. 2. Foot girth and foot width measurements either within a new shoe or within a fifty-hour-used shoe significant at the level of $5\%,\;1\%,\;0.1\%$ and show discrepancies at three different heel heights; the part between instep and ball joint in a 3 cm-heel shoe, toe part in a 5 cm-heel shoe, heel-inside joint. heel-outside joint and toe part in a 7 cm-heel shoe are highly influenced by heel heights. The higher the shoe-hee15 are, the more heavily the fore part of foot is pressured in lateral direction because shoe is made to have high instep from a fashion viewpoint. Higher shoe heels prevent weight pressure from being concentrated on heel. If shoe heels are toe high, people in such shoes feel easily tired. It is very worthy of note in selecting shoes to consider not only the shoe fashion but also fore shoe type, heel height, and shoe material with proper elasticity.

The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of the balance ability on the heel height (flat, low heel[3cm], and high heel[7cm]) and high heeled habituation (group A is used to a low heeled shoes (<7cm) and group B is used to a high heeled shoes (${\geq}7cm$). Thirty-five subjects participated in this study. In this study, the static balance with opened eyes and closed eyes and dynamic balance were measured. Also functional reach test was tested. The results found that the static balance ability was the best in a 7cm heeled shoes with open eyes and closed eyes, but there was not significant difference between group A and Group B. Dynamic balance ability with walking velocity and cadence were significant difference between Group A and B. In the walking velocity, a flat was the fastest, followed by 7cm heel and 3cm heel with Group A while 3cm and 7cm, then a flat with Group B. Also Cadence pattern was similar. Functional balance ability was the highest with a flat, but it was not difference significantly between Group A and B. Therefore, this study demonstrated that the habituation to the high heel altered gait velocity and cadence of dynamic balance ability.

The purpose of this research is to provide right information about deformation and to relieve fatigue of high-heels lovers. The research data includes 15 tests and survey on 71 female students. The result follows 1. Age of surveys is mostly 22, consisting 43.7% of all. The most frequently worn shoe kind is high heels that 45.1% of surveys wear 2. Female students those are 155~160cm high wear high heels most frequently, 40.8%. 3. The fatigue condition classified by hours of wearing: Surveys wearing high heels over 7 hours and 5~7 hours state starting to feel fatigue by 40.8%, 38.0% each, and the result was stastically significant 4. The appearance of pain on calf classified by hours of wearing: 35.2% of surveys answered they start to feel pain when worn high heels over 7 hours, and 33.8% of students answered 5~7 hours 5. The fatigue condition classified by kinds of shoes worn: 45.0% of the surveys felt tired when wearing high heels, 40.8% answered wearing heel inserted running shoes, and 14.0% for flat shoes. 6. The fatigue condition classified by heel height: 69.0% of survey answered they feel fatigue after wearing shoes with 5~9cm high heels, 21.1% answered under 3cm high heels, and 9.9% answered over 10cm heels(p<0.05) 7.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of shoe heel height and muscle fatigue on static and dynamic balance in young women. Thirty women who were used to wearing high heels volunteered to participate in this study. The shoe heel heights were 0 cm and 7 cm. And ankle plantar flexor fatigue was experimentally induced. Static and dynamic balance were measured using the one leg standing test (OLST) and the star excursion balance test (SEBT) in anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral directions, respectively. Values in the OLST (shoe heel height 0 cm, $28.83{\pm}3.24$ sec to $26.12{\pm}6.13$ sec; and 7 cm, $24.75{\pm}7.09$ sec to $16.86{\pm}9.32$ sec) and the SEBT in anterior (shoe heel height 0 cm, $71.02{\pm}4.57%$ to $69.50{\pm}3.66%$; and 7 cm, $64.17{\pm}3.53%$ to $59.61{\pm}4.06%$) and posteromedial (shoe heel height 0 cm, $92.01{\pm}5.61%$ to $90.38{\pm}7.10%$; and 7 cm, $83.09{\pm}7.29%$ to $76.83{\pm}9.28%$) directions were significantly reduced when fatigue-inducing exercise was performed (p<.05). Furthermore, within these parameters, there were significant interaction effects between shoe heel height and fatigue condition (p<.05). These findings suggest that shoe heel height and muscle fatigue contribute to some changes in static and dynamic balance in young women, probably leading to negative effects on physical function during a variety of activities of daily living.

본 논문에서는 3축 가속도 센서를 이용하여 보행 불균형을 진단하는 효율적 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 하드웨어 시스템은 주로 보행시 발목 세 방향의 가속도를 무선으로 측정할 수 있는 3축 가속도 센서와 데이터 전송을 위한 임베디드 시스템으로 구성되어 있다. 획득된 데이터를 정규화 처리한 후, ROCC (ratio of correlation coefficient)를 이용하여 정상적인 보행의 대칭성과 비정상적인 보행의 대칭성을 비교 분석하였다. 건강한 성인 10명을 대상으로 실험을 실시하였고 개인당 총 5회 반복 실험을 하였다. 비정상 보행을 만들기 위해 한쪽 발의 굽의 높이를 변화시켰다. 결과를 보면 보행 불균형이 커질수록 ROCC의 값이 점차 기준에서 멀어지는 것을 알 수 있었으며 제안된 시스템이 보행 불균형 평가에 사용가능한 것이 확인되었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate muscle activation of lower extremity such as rectus femoris, tibialis anterior and soleus according to 0cm(bare foot), 4cm and 7cm heel height of shoe on the rocking surface in older women. 20 older women who did not have any lower musculoskeletal and neurological disorders in the past were participated in this study. Each subject was standing for 15 seconds on the level 8 of Biodex Stability System (BSS) while wearing 4cm and 7cm heel height shoes including bare foot. Electromyography was used to measure muscle activation of lower extremity, and the muscle activation was expressed as a percentage of maximal voluntary isometric contraction (% MVIC). We measured % MVIC of three muscles during 5 seconds except for the first 5 seconds and last 5 seconds. SPSS 12.0 program was used for this study. Repeated one-way analysis of variance(ANOVA) was performed to compare the significant difference among the muscles of lower extremities according to heel heights of shoe on the rocking plate. % MVIC of each muscle such as rectus femoris, tibialis anterior and soleus regarding heel heights of shoe had statistically significant differences (p<0.05). The results of contrast test were as follows; 1) % MVIC of rectus femoris had significant differences between barefoot and 4cm, and barefoot and 7cm. 2) % MVIC of tibialis anterior had significant differences between barefoot and 4cm, barefoot and 7cm, and 4cm and 7cm. 3) % MVIC of soleus had significant differences between barefoot and 7cm, 4cm and 7cm. The results indicate that all commonly responsive muscle on the conditions of barefoot, 4cm, and 7cm shoe height on the rcoking surface is tibialis anterior muscle. We found out that the more heels of shoe high, the more muscle activation increases. High-heeled shoes above 7cm remarkably increase the muscle activation of lower extremity and may result in muscle fatigue. Thus, these shoes may summate risk factors of falls in older women. We can acknowledge that the heels above 4 cm affect each muscle activation in lower extremity on the rocking surface.

우리나라에서는 예전부터 밥그릇 전용으로 자기와 더불어 금속식기가 사용되어져 왔는데, 이러한 금속식기는 쌀을 주식으로 하는 나라에서는 유일한 것으로 우리나라 특유의 아이덴티티를 가지고 있다. 이를 근간으로 우리는 독자적이며 고유한 우리의 것들을 창조 할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구의 방법은 문헌연구와 더불어 각 지역을 탐문하면서 조선 및 근대의 금속밥그릇을 실제 측정을 하여 다음과 같은 사실을 밝혔다. 우리나라 금속 밥그릇의 조형은 크게 합, 연엽, 오목, 옥발이 4가지 종류가 있다. 조형에 담긴 특징은 크게 3가지로 첫째는, 우리나라의 금속밥그릇에는 기본적으로 뚜껑이 있다는 점이다. 둘째, 우리나라의 금속밥그릇에는 남녀노소 전용이 있는가 하면 오목과 합은 남녀노소 공용이다. 셋째, 연령이 증가함에 따라 크기가 다른 밥그릇으로 교체해 나간다는 점이다. 그리고 금속밥그릇의 조형적 특징에 결정적인 영향을 주는 항목은 [ 굽의 유무], [ 구연부선 ], [ 구연부외경 / 몸체높이의 비], 그리고 [ 구연부외경 / 몸체 최대경의 비] 의 4가지이다. 글로벌화 되는 시대에 우리나라의 조형적 특질을 찾아 아이덴티티를 구축하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 우리나라 특유의 금속 밥그릇을 가지고 여러 각도에서 조명하여 우리나라의 디자인적 아이덴티티를 찾고 여러 상품에 접목시키고자 하는 것에 대한 기초적인 연구이다.
