The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of balance board and whole-body vibration stimulator application on body muscle activities during static squat motion. Twenty adult males(age, 21.90±0.36 years; height, 174.30±1.09 cm; body mass, 66.50±1.00 kg; and BMI, 21.90±0.31 kg/㎡) were participated in this study as subjects. Three types' static squat motions were performed(basic static squat motion, BSSM; static squat motion with balance board, SSBB; static squat motion with whole-body vibration stimulator, SSVS). We measured the right side's body muscle activities of the rectus abdominis(RA), internal oblique(IO), external oblique(EO), rectus femoris(RF), vastus lateralis(VL), and vastus medialis(VM). The research findings were as follows. There was a significant higher RA, IO, and EO muscle activity of SSBB and SSVS(p=.001, p=.004, p=.000). And RF, VL, and VM muscle activities were greatest during SSVS(p=.000). These findings are expected to serve as references for static squat motion applications in training programs for body muscle strengthening.

본 연구는 상지운동 동안에 복부에 적용된 압력이 요부와 복부의 근피로도에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 연구대상자는 성인 남자 5명이었다. 연구대상자가 10 repetitions maximun (RM) 무게의 아령을 이용하여 1분 동안 상지운동을 수행 시 0 mmHg, 저압(30 mmHg), 중압(70 mmHg), 고압(100 mmHg)의 외부 압력이 복부에 적용되었고, 복직근, 외복사근, 내복사근, 척추기립근에서 근전도 자료가 수집되었다. 주파수 분석을 통하여 적용된 압력에 따라 각각의 근육에서 초기 10초 구간과 말기 10초 구간의 중앙주파수로 피로지수를 측정하였다. 통계학적 분석방법은 반복측정된 이요인 분산분석 ($4{\times}4$)과 사후검정을 이용하였다. 그 결과 압력의 차이에 의한 주효과가 나타났으며, 사후검정결과 0 mmHg 압력에 비해 30 mmHg, 100 mmHg에서 각각 피로지수가 유의하게 낮았다(p=.04, p=.015). 본 연구의 결과를 통하여 복부에 적용된 압력 (30 mmHg, 100 mmHg)이 근육의 피로도를 감소시킬 수 있음이 나타났다. 요부벨트를 이용하여 작업을 수행할 때, 고유수용성 감각 입력을 증가시키고 재손상을 방지하는 목적이외에도 근피로도를 감소시킬 수 있다는 가능성을 알 수 있었다.

The aim of this study was to investigate difference of the muscle activation patterns of the upper body during wheelchair cycle ramps ascent of different slopes for disabled with spinal cord injury. Three subjects who is disabled with spinal cord injury participated in this study. Surface electromyography (EMG) data (reaction time [RT], onset-offset time, and peak value of muscle activation) were collected biceps, triceps, upper trapezius, anterior deltoid, latissimus dorsi, and upper rectus abdominal muscles during wheelchair cycle ramps ascent ($0^{\circ}$, $3^{\circ}$, and $6^{\circ}$). For latissimus dorsi muscle, RT and peak value of muscle activation was were increased and offset time was delayed as the slope increased (p < 0.05). These results indicate that wheelchair cycle ramps ascent might cause excessive overuse of latissimus dorsi muscle.

발꿈치는 신체의 다른부위에 비하여 엄청난 하중을 지탱하고 있으며, 주행시에는 막대한 전단력을 받으므로 그 재건에 있어서 어려운 점이 있다. 그 동안 발꿈치의 연부조직 결손을 재건하기 위한 많은 방법들이 개발되어 왔지만, 비교적 큰 발꿈치의 연부조직 결손을 재건하는 것은 아직도 쉬운 일이 아니다. 이처럼 큰 결손의 재건에는 주로 유리 피판술을 이용한 재건술을 사용하는데, 그 중에서도 광배근, 복직근, 대퇴박근 등의 근육을 이용하는 방법이 최근에 많이 이용되고 있다. 이와 같은 유리 근 피판에 피부이식을 이용하는 발꿈치 재건술은 표재성 감각기능을 재건하지 못하는 것이 단점으로 지적되고 있으나, 보행 또는 주행시 발꿈치에 가해지는 압력과 전단력을 효과적으로 견디어 낼 뿐아니라, 외관상으로도 정상에 가까운 발꿈치를 재건할 수가 있어서 좋은 방법으로 인정되고 있다. 특히, 대퇴박근은 피판을 비교적 쉽게 채취할 수 있고, 공여부에 기능적인 장애나 심한 변형을 남기지 않아서 좋은 방법이라 생각된다. 다만 크기가 비교적 작아서, 발등이나 족관절 상부에까지 이르는 광범위한 연부조직 결손에서는 사용할 수 없는 점이 아쉽다. 저자는 비교적 가늘고 긴, 대퇴박근의 형태적 특징을 최대한 이용하여, 결손부의 다양한 형태 및 크기에 따라 대퇴박근을 말발굽형, 나선형, S-자형 등으로 적절히 형상화하여 발꿈치 결손을 효과적으로 재건하는 방법을 고안하였다. 또한, 공여부에 긴 선상 반흔이 남는 것을 피하기 위하여 두 개의 작은 절개를 통해서 대퇴박근을 채취하였다. 이 방법을 이용하여 영남대학교 의과대학 성형외과학 교실에서는 1993년 이후부터 7명의 비교적 큰 발꿈치의 연부조직 결손 환자를 대상으로 유리 대퇴박근 피판술을 이용한 재건술로 성공적인 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different heel height on the electromyographic (EMG) activity in Rectus abdominis (RA) and Erector spinae (ES) during gait activity. Methods : A repeated measures design was used. 33 healthy females carried out a standardized gait activity under 3 conditions; with heel wedges of 1, 7, and 12cm in height. EMG activity was recorded from RA and ES during the activity. Data was analysed using the repeated one-way ANOVA. Results : First, as the shoe-heel height was getting higher, change of muscle activation indicated the statistically significant difference in rectus abdominis(p<0.05). Second, as the shoe-heel height was getting higher, change of muscle activation indicated the statistically significant difference in erector spinae(p<0.05). Conclusion : We found that as heel height increased, there was an increase in EMG activity in both RA and ES. This indicated that no RA : ES imbalance was elicited. This study provides information that will inform future research on how heel height affects muscle activity around the trunk.

Chronic osteomyelitis have been treated with wound dressing and antibiotics therapy often results in healing but foul odor pus discharges from the fibrotic soft tissues reactivates and requires appropriate control of the infection. Debridement of the wound, curettage and sequestrectomy, bone graft and immediate free flap transplantation is the curative protocol for the chronic osteomyelitis in the lower extremity. Authors have treated 7 cases of chronic osteomyelitis in the lower extremity with microsurgical free tissue transplantation at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Chonbuk National University Hospital from December 1993 through February 1998. The results are as follows. 1. The chronic osteomyelitis occurred in tibial shaft in 4 cases, in calcaneus 2 cases and in femur 1 case. 2. Duration of the chronic osteomyelitis was at average 31.6 years. 3. Squamous cell carcinoma in the surrounding fibrotic tissue was biopsied in 1 case. 4. 4 cases had no trauma and occurred through hematogenous infection and 3 cases had fracture trauma. 5. Wound debridement and immediate free muscle transplantation had done in 5 cases and wound debridement, sequestrectomy and immediate free muscle transplantation in 2 cases. 6. Rectus abdominis muscle transplantation had peformed in 4 cases(57.1%), latissimus dorsi mucle 1 case(14.3%), latissimus dorsi myocutaneous 1 case(14.3%) and gracilis 1 case (14.3%). 6 cases of 7 were success(85.7%). 7. 1 case of failed latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap in thigh had done above knee amputation and 1 case of chronic posttraumatic osteoarthritis of the ankle joint had done below knee amputation at other hospital.

Severe upper and lower extremity trauma may result in soft tissue loss with exposed bone and the subsequence of risk of chronic osteomyelitis or malunion of fracture fragments. Such injuries present a major reconstructive problem. But Since the introduction of microsugical technique, free muscle and myocutaneous flaps were employed to provide coverage of severely injured defects. Since Tai and Hasegawa(1974) first reported a breast reconstruction using by rectus abdominis myocuraneous flap, the free rectus myocutaneous flap has been widely employed for breast reconstuction, head and neck reconstruction, and extremity reconstruction in these days. The authors present their successful experience with free rectus abdominis muscle and rectus abdominis myocutaneous flaps for upper and low extremity reconstruction. From Nov. 94, to May 95, Five cases of severely injured extremites due to trauma or contact burn were treated with free rectus abdominis muscle flap or free rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap. All flaps except 1 case were survived without severe complications. As free muscle or myocutaneous flap, the free rectus abdominis flap has the advantages of a reliable pedicle, easy dissection, and an acceptable donor site, so it seems logical to apply the free rectus abdominis flap to apply in upper and lower extremity reconstruction.
