The purpose of this study was examined the effect of Tabata exercise using health care application on balance, gait and activities of daily living in patients with stroke. Twenty patients with stroke were participated patients with stroke in this study. Nineteen participants were randomly allocated to ten in experimental and nine in control groups. The both groups received the rehabilitation therapy during for 4 weeks. The experimental group performed Tabata exercise based on health care application, supervised under caregivers, during 30 min/day. The control group performed self-exercise supervised under caregivers, during 30 min/day. Both groups exercised for 4 weeks, 3 times a week, 30 min/day. Tabata exercise was trained by an physical and occupational therapists. The outcome measures were the BBS(: Berg Balance Scale), TUG(: Timed Up and Go, K-MBI(: Korean Modified Barthel Index). In results, the experimental groups showed a significant improvements after intervention in all assessments(p<.05), The control groups showed a significant improvements after intervention in BBS(p<.05) The experimental group showed a greater significant improvements than control group in TUG, BBS, K-MBI(p<.05). We suggest that Tabata exercise using health care application can have a effects of the improvements of balance, gait and activities of daily living than only self-exercise in patients with stroke.

Contact area and pressure are important factors which directly influence a life of knee implants. Since implant's mechanical functions should be experimentally evaluated for clinical use, many studies using a knee simulator and a pressure sensor system have been conducted. However it has not been reported that the contact pressure's distribution of a knee implant motion was estimated in real-time during a gate cycle. Therefore. the objective of this study was to analyze the contact pressure distribution for the motion of a joint using the knee simulator and I-scan sensor system. For this purpose, we developed a force-controlled dynamic knee simulator to evaluate the mechanical performance of artificial knee joint. This simulator includes a function of a soft tissue and has a 4-degree-of-freedom to represent an axial compressive load and a flexion angle. As axial compressive force and a flexion angle of the femoral component can be controlled by PC program. The pressure is also measured from I-scan system and simulator to visualize the pressure distribution on the joint contact surfaces under loading condition during walking cycle. The compressive loading curve was the major cause for the contact pressure distribution and its center move in a cycle as to a flexion angie. In conclusion, this system can be used to evaluate to the geometric interaction of femoral and tibial design due to a measured mechanical function such as a contact pressure, contact area and a motion of a loading center.

The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship between physical characteristics and general people's perception. In this study, the physical quantities of artificial lighting were measured from the visual point of the pedestrian and general public perception including preference and satisfaction was examined. As a result of this study, the total luminance and mean luminance had different value in each site. However, there were no significant differences in area and number of light source between sites. The effects of these factors are affected by indoor lighting. In the group of respondents, 10s people, male, students, meeting, 1~2 times a month and 18:00~20:00 had higher satisfaction compared to other groups respectively. A total luminance and mean luminance gave effect on the satisfaction of physical quantities of artificial lighting and the satisfaction on night landscape. With increase in total luminance and mean luminance, the satisfaction was lowered. It is necessary to reflect these factors on the future policies of nightscape.

The main objective of study was to analyze the effectiveness of transit mall. To this end, this study compared operational status of transit malls in operation (Daegu, Seoul and Busan). For the city of Busan where the latest transit mall became operational in 2015, a discriminant model was proposed to determine user satisfaction/dissatisfaction. The outcomes of comparative study showed that each city has different operational focus - Seoul has focus on traffic demand management, Busan has focus on walking environment, and Daegu has focus on accessibility to public transportation. Also, the discriminant model indicated that market sentiment, convenience of bus service, traffic accident risk, number of pedestrian, market user number have effects on user satisfaction. These results implied that, to improve user satisfaction, measures for market revitalization such as opening events and forming consultative groups need to be prepared and traffic conditions should also be improved through expansion of curfew time, linkage with subway station.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to present data of density and speed through the experiment of the counterflow by firefighter in corridor. Method: Experimental setup including a corridor in building was prepared for measuring data with 1.5m and 2m width. Normal flow and counterflow were created for each. Data were measured using camera and acquired by video image analysis. Results: The counterflow in corridor resulted in increasing average density of about $0.55P/m^2$ and decreasing average movement speed of about 0.61 m/s. These data measured during the time when the counterflow occurred. Conclusion: It was found that counterflow by firefighter in corridor momentary increasing the density and decreasing walking speed of evacuee. Further experiments of the counterflow effect in the total evacuation time are needed.

본 연구의 목적은 뇌졸중으로 인한 만성 편마비 환자를 대상으로 발에 시지각 자극을 적용하여 균형과 보행에 관한 운동기능에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 6개월 이상 된 편마비 환자 16명이 연구에 참여하였고, 무작위로 실험군(EG) 10명과 대조군(CG) 10명으로 구분하였다. 두 군 모두 기본적인 물리치료를 적용하였고 실험군은 정적균형도구인 Tetrax Multiple System을 이용하여 발목에 감각되먹임 시지각 자극을 매회 30분, 4주간 주 3회 실시하였다. 운동 중재 전과 후의 운동기능에 해당하는 균형(TUG), 보행(DGI)을 측적하여 본 연구의 효과를 비교하였다. 실험군에서 정적 균형, TUG, 그리고 동적 균형지수(DGI) 지수는 중재 전후 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타냈고(p<.05), 실험, 대조군간 전후의 변화율에서도 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<.05). 대조군에서는 DGI 만 중재 전후 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 순수하게 유산소 운동만을 실시하였다. 통계처리 방법으로 전 후 차이를 검증하기 위하여 대응표본 t 검정을 실시하였고 대조군과의 차이 검증을 위하여 독립표본 t 검정을 실시하였다. 모든 통계적 유의수준은 0.05로 하였다. 본 연구에서는 편마비 환자에게 흥미를 촉진하고 운동 기능 회복의 효과를 강화할 수 있는 감각 되먹임이 동반된 시지각 자극을 적용하여 균형 및 보행기능의 향상을 얻을 수 있었고, 차후 연구는 장기간의 추적 관찰 연구가 지속되어야 하고 발목 뿐만 아니라 다른 관절에서의 비교연구가 필요할 것이다.

In this paper, we propose a modeling and simulation of group behavioral movement of pedestrians using Agent based and Cellular Automata model in intelligent game environment. The social behaviors of the crowds are complex and important, and based on this, the prototype game-model was implemented to show the crowd interaction on AB and CA in the game environment. Our experiment revealed the promise of group behaviour as a cost-efficient, yet accurate platform for researching crowd behaviour in risk situations with real models.

본 연구의 목적은 젊은 성인과 노인의 장애물 보행 시 신체질량중심의 변위와 최대속도를 3차원적으로 비교 분석하여 노인의 낙상위험 및 균형능력을 평가할 수 있는 중요한 요소가 될 수 있는지를 검증하는데 있다. 본 연구의 대상은 건강한 젊은 성인 10명(남성 6명/여성 4명, $24.6{\pm}1.9$세)과 65세 이상 건강한 노인 10명(남성 1명/여성 9명)으로 선정하였다. 각 피험자 신장의 10% 높이의 장애물 보행을 실시하였으며 동작 분석 장비를 통해 신체질량중심의 변위와 최대속도를 3차원적으로 분석하였다. 전후방향에서는 젊은 성인 집단의 변위가 더 크고(p=.019) 최대속도가 더 빠르게 나타났으며(p<.001), 좌우방향에서는 노인 집단의 변위가 더 크고(p=.004), 더 빠르게 나타났다(p<.001). 수직방향에서의 변위는 유의한 차이가 없었고(p=.135), 최대 속도는 젊은 성인 집단이 더 빠르게 나타났다(p<.001). 신체질량중심의 좌우방향에서의 크고 빠른 움직임은 노인의 동적 균형능력 저하로 인해 넘어가는 발(swing limb)의 안정적인 지지면 딛기를 위한 보상적 조절로 여겨지며, 따라서 노인의 낙상위험 및 균형능력을 평가할 수 있는 중요한 요소가 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

본 논문은 학교 권역의 도로 및 교통요건을 조사하여 어린이 보호구역의 지정 및 관리기준의 적용 실태와 문제점 등을 분서하며, 어린이 보호구역의 조성기준을 적정화하고 체계적인 대책을 수립하는데 목적이 있다. 먼저 어린이 보호구역의 이론적 고찰을 통해 어린이 보호구역이 지정·관리기준 및 외국의 School Zone 사례를 살펴보았다. 현재 어린이 보호구역으로 지정·관리되고 있는 광주시 남구의 14개 초등학교를 대상으로 어린이 보호구역별 도로 및 교통현황과 함께 적용되고 있는 어린이 보호구역의 지정 범위 및 교통규제, 중요안전 시설물의 설치현황 등을 조사하였다. 또 연도주민의 설문을 통해 보행의 안전성과 교통사고의 위험성 등을 조사·분석하였다. 그 결과 12m 이하의 이면도로가 전체대상 통학로의 64.6%에 해당되며, 2차로 이상의 도로는 35.4%로서 이면도로에 접하는 초등학교가 많은 것으로 나타났다. 또 교통규제방안으로 시행되고 잇는 것은 8개 초등학교의 시차별 주차규제와 4개 초등학교의 총 10개의 과속방지턱이 설치되어 있을 뿐이다. 또한 설문을 통해 보행환경의 위험성을 분석한 결과 차량의 속도와 주차차량에 의한 통행 방해나 사고위험을 가장 많이 인식함에 따라 그에 따른 안전시설의 추가 설치가 뒤따라야 하겠다. 이러한 어린이 보호구역에서의 어린이나 보행자의 안전성과 쾌적성을 증진시키기 위해서는 무엇보다도 안전시설의 설치에 따른 유지 및 관리가 중요하다.
