The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of proprioceptive exercise on walking velocity, activities of daily living(ADL) and depression in elderly women. This study was nonequivalent control group pre-post test design. Subjects were divided into two group(exercise group=17, control group=15). Experimental group conducted proprioceptive exercise program for eight-week. Walking velocity was assessed by 10m-walk test and depression and ADL were assessed by questionnaire. The collected data analyzed by Wilcoxon singed rank test and Mann-Whitney U test. The exercise group significantly improved walking velocity. But control group changes were negligible. The program was effective on walking in elderly women.

하지 웨어러블 로봇의 근력 보조 성능을 극대화하기 위해서는 착용자의 보행 상태를 인식하는 보행 위상 추정 기술이 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 착용자의 보행 속도 변화 및 착용자 간 보행 특성 차이에도 강인하게 보행 위상을 추정할 수 있는 LSTM 기반 보행 위상 강건 인식 기술을 개발하였다. 웨어러블 고관절 보조 로봇을 착용한 총 5명의 트레드밀 및 실외 overground의 보행 센서 정보를 바탕으로 학습을 수행하였다. 저속 및 고속 보행을 포함한 다양한 보행 속도에서 정밀한 보행 위상 추정이 가능한 웨어러블 센서 조합을 도출하였고, 보행 위상 인식 정밀성은 5-Fold Cross Validation 기준 RMSE 약 1.68% 수준의 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

MANET has some interest as a wireless mobile network supporting node mobility and having no additional infrastructure. Speed of mobile node on MANET is various from just slow speed of human's walk to vehicle's moving speed. In this study, VoIP performance of MANET is evaluated in the view of speed of mobile node. VoIP performance is studied on walking speed, vehicle speed and higher speed on MANET. PDR(Packet Delivery Ratio), MOS(Mean Opinion Score) are used as performance parameters.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a visual flow speed's modulation-based VR(virtual reality) program on gait function in stroke patients. Thirty one stroke patients were randomly selected at Dep. of Rehabilitation medicine of M hospital in Seoul. We carried out the gait analysis by dividing them with four conditions : one condition had applied without the visual flow modulation-based VR and another had done three visual flow speed's modulation-based VR(0.25, 1, 2 times). The gait analysis was used with GaitRite system. The data were collected using gait velocity, cadence, stride length, step length, single support time, and double support time during treatment. The results were as follows. First, the slow visual flow(0.25 times)-based VR program on the condition was significant decrease gait velocity, cadence, stride length, step length and increase single support time, double support time(p<.05). Second, the fast visual flow(2 times)-based VR program on the condition was significant increase gait velocity, cadence, stride length, step length, single support time on paretic lower limb and decrease single support time on non-paretic lower limb, double support time(p<.05). Third, the normal visual flow(1 times)-based VR program on the condition was not significant differ gait velocity, cadence, stride length, step length, single support time, double support time. In conclusion, the visual flow speed's modulation-based VR program improves gait function in chronic stroke patients.

This paper presents new pedestrian signal timings considering pedestrian demand Pedestrian characteristics, and land use which were obtained by Pedestrian characteristics field survey and pedestrian signal operation survey. Pedestrian signal timings suggested were compared to the existing pedestrian signal timings by using real field data. pedestrian characteristics field survey was conducted to collect pedestrian crossing speed data and reaction time data. Sixteen areas in Seoul were selected for the data collection. The average pedestrian crossing speed was 1.30m/sec and the 15th Percentile speed was 1.11m/sec. The average reaction time was 2.24 seconds. Pedestrian crossing speed differs by land use, road width. pedestrian age, sex, and number of Pedestrians. Reaction time also differs by road width, pedestrian age, and number of pedestrians. Statistical testing was performed to secure reliability of the collected data.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aquatic gait training on plantar foot pressure, foot kinesiology and gait speed in right hemiplegic patients. The subject were 20 stroke patients who elapsed from 12 month to 24 month after stroke(aquatic gait training group(n=10), land gait training group(n=10)). This study measured plantar foot pressure, toe out angle, subtalar joint angle, gait speed from data of gate on 2m long measuring apparatus for RS-scan system(RS scan Ltd. German). This experiment performed in twice, before and after the aquatic gait training and land gait training. Collected data were statistically analyzed by SPSS Ver. 12.0 using descriptive statistics, paired t-test. Aquatic gait training group had more variety pressure area on their foot such as T1(Toe 1), HM(Heel medial), and HL(Heel lateral). But motion of subtalar joint flexibility and toe out angle decreased considerably and gate speed also increased. According to the result, aquatic gait training is considered as more effective way in foot stability and normal gait pattern than land gait training.

Purpose: 본 연구는 단하지 보조기를 사용하는 뇌졸중환자의 시-거리 보행변수에 대한 청각신호 효과에 대한 알아보고자 하는 것이다. Methods: 9명의 뇌졸중환자가 본 연구에 참여하였으며 대상자는 보조기 착용이 없는 경우, 기존 보조기 착용의 경우 그리고 청각신호 보조기 착용의 경우에 각각 시-거리 보행 변수에 대해 측정하였다. 8대의 동작분석 카메라 시스템(Motion Analysis Corporation, Santa Rosa, USA)을 사용하여 시-거리 보행 변수를 측정하였으며 Wilcoxon rank sum test을 이용하여 양하지의 대칭성을 분석하였고 Friedman test를 사용하여 다른 보조기 사용에 따른 효과를 알아보았다. Results: 청각 신호 보조기의 경우, 손상측과 비손상측의 보행속도, 활보장 그리고 분속수가 대칭적으로 되었다. 손상측의 경우, 단하지 보조기를 착용하였을 때가 착용하지 않았을 때보다 대체적으로 보행 변수들이 증가하였다. 청각 신호 단하지 보조기를 착용하였을 때 손상측 하지의 보행 속도, 활보장, 보장, 양하지 지지 시간이 증가하였고 단하지 지지 시간은 감소하였다. Conclusion: 청각 신호 단하지 보조기 착용 시 보행 속도, 활보장, 보장은 보조기를 착용하지 않았을 때보다는 증가하였으나 청각 신호 단하지 보조기와 기존 단하지 보조기 착용 사이에는 차이가 없었다. 하지만, 본 연구의 결과는 청각 신호 단하지 보조기가 뇌졸중 환자의 시-거리 보행 변수를 개선할 수 있음을 보여주었고 앞으로 다양한 보행 변수들에 대한 연구가 필요하다고 생각한다.

The purpose of in this paper is to estimate the capacity and to suggest the level of service for pedestrian walkway. To estimate the pedestrian walkway capacity, Pedestrian density and speed were collected at the walkways in the subway station and the sidewalks. The simple linear repression of pedestrian density and speed models were developed for the relationships between the pedestrian flow rate and the pedestrian speed. The analysis results are as follow : First. the ranges of capacity for walkway were found minimum 106p/m/m and maximum 126p/m/m. The capacity of walkway was suggested to 106p/m/m for 2001 KHCM. Second, it found that the range of the critical speeds were between 40m/minute and 43m/minute and the range of the critical densities were between 2.65 p/$m^2$ and 2.85 p/$m^2$. Third, the range of level of service are similar to that of the 2,000 US HCM. This study suggests that occupancy, density and speed at Los E use 0.38$m^2$/p, 2.6 p/$m^2$ and 40m/minute respectively.

이 논문은 노인 및 장애인의 활동을 보조하기 위한 보행보조 로봇의 기술인 사용자의 진행하고자 하는 방향과 속도를 검출하는 보행 보조 로봇의 조향 장치를 구현 하고자 한다. 최근에 노인인구의 증가로 인해 노인 및 장애인을 위한 보행 보조기에 대한 관심이 증가되고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 경우 동력이 없는 시스템으로 경사 등의 공간에서 취약성을 가지 고 있다. 이에 동력형 보행보조기에 대한 관심이 증가되고 있다. 대부분의 경우 보행보조기의 제어가 조정한다는 의미가 적합하였다. 그러나 이 논문에서는 사용자의 움직임이 손에 전달되는 힘에 의해 사용자의 의지력을 파악 하는 두가지형태의 조향장치를 구현하였다. 첫째로 가변저항을 이용하여 보행의지를 파악하고, 두 번째로 힘센서를 이용하여 보행의지를 파악하였다. 위 두가지 센서를 기초로 사용자가 이동하고자 하는 이동 방향과 이동 속도 데이터를 기초로 보행보조기의 차량 속도와 방향에 대해 구동 바퀴의 차동 구동을 통해 사용자의 의지에 맞춰 구동할 수 있도록 하였다.

This study developed a methodology for estimating the fatality reduction by introducing technical regulation on pedestrian protection in pedestrian-vehicle collisions. Modeling a probabilistic pedestrian fatality model with logistic regression approach was one of keen interests, which employed in estimating the fatality reduction. Collision speed obtained from the accident reconstruction was used in the model development. The effects of fatality reduction, in case various Head Injury Criterion (HIC) and collision speeds are applied for the regulation. were presented as the major outcome of this study. It is expected that the outcome of this study would be an invaluable tool to assist in developing various technologies and policies for pedestrian protection.
