This study selected 31 old women over 65 years old residing in G county, Jeonnam and applied the aqua exercise program to them for 1 hour a session, once a week for 1 year from Feb. 1, 2011 to Jan. 31, 2012 in order to examine the effects of the program on body composition, exercise function, quality of life and self-esteem in the elderly. As a result of measuring health related factors before and after applying the exercise program, it was found that long-term aqua exercise program had statistically significant change and increase in body composition (weight, body fat mass and percent body fat), exercise function (flexibility, balance, TUG, back muscle strength), quality of life and self-esteem. Therefore, it is considered that continuous aqua exercise program is needed to improve body composition, exercise function, quality of life and self-esteem of the old women in rural areas.

수유기 여성은 임신과 출산이라는 신체적 생리적 변화과정을 겪은 대표적인 영양취약집단으로서, 수유기 여성의 영양상태는 본인의 건강회복뿐만 아니라 영유아의 영양에도 직접적인 영향을 주는 중요한 시기이다. 수유기 여성들에게 부족 되기 쉬운 철분과 칼슘영양상태를 수유형태별로 비교해 봄으로써 수유기여성의 영양교육을 위한 기초자료를 제시하고자 수유기여성 84명(모유영양군27명, 인공영양군 47명, 혼합영양군 10명), 비수유기여성 20명, 총 104명을 대상으로 일반적 환경 및 특성, 식이조사, 체지방 측정, 혈액분석, 골밀도 측정을 실시하였다.

본 논문에서는 병실의 침대 위에서 움직임으로 침대 밖으로 떨어지는 것을 방지하기 위한 환자감시 시스템인 낙상 방지 시스템을 제안한다. 환자는 휴식을 취하거나 각종 처치를 위하여 침대에 머무르게 된다. 이 과정에서 대부분의 환자들은 기력이 낮아지고 자기 신체에 대한 제어 능력이 낮아져 침대의 바깥쪽으로 움직이는 경우가 종종 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 초음파를 이용한 환자까지의 거리 맵을 생성한 다음 거리 맵을 기반으로 환자의 위치를 추정하였다. 경과 측정거리는 10mm 이내로 측정이 가능하였고, 기존의 방식과 비교하여 내구성과 활용성이 우수하였다.

전자신체기능 측정기가 발명되어 현재 그 자동장치의 효능에 대해서 전국 각지에서 조사하고 있다. 그리하여 전자측정기에 의한 vital sign측정이 종례의 방법보다 좋은 점이 있다는 사실을 지금 바야흐로 발견하기 시작하고 있다. 간호원은 종래의 측정방법에 변화성과 오류가 있을 수 있고 두 가지 중 어느 방법을 택하더라도 정상범위 안에서의 변화나 개인차는 있다는 것을 이해하지 않으면 안 된다고 생각한다. 여기에서 가장 강조하고 싶은 것은 vital sign에 어떤 변화가 생겼을 때 그 변화를 현명하게 해석해서 그의 중요성 여하를 평가할 수 있는 간호원이 되어야 한다는 것이다.

본 논문에서는 3D Skeleton Model로부터 획득된 관절 정보를 이용하여 제스처를 인식할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 사람의 신체 크기나 비율은 다르더라도 구조는 같다는 사실을 바탕으로, 관절과 관절이 이루는 각도를 이용해 제스처를 인식한다. 몇 가지 제스처를 선정한 뒤, 실험을 통해 제안한 방법의 인식률을 측정해 보았다. 또한 동적 제스처 인식을 위한 기초를 다지기 위해 이동 방향과 이동 거리, 이동 위치를 측정하는 실험을 해 보았다.

Body fat measures a large number places body because error is oversized that measure in single specification region to measure body whole body fat degree by non-invasive optical method and bio-electrical impedance method. Use LED source of light that center wavelength is 660nm wavelength and measure at same time by BIA(Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis) method And then photo-electricity method calculate fat correlation formula.

기존의 온도 측정 시스템은 사용자의 체온 혹은 주변의 온도를 알기 위해서 여러 매체들을 이용하여 조사하고, 또한 매체들을 통해서 나오는 온도들은 그 지역 혹은 장소의 평균적인 온도를 가르쳐 주므로 사용자의 온도 및 사용자 주변 온도를 알기가 어려웠다. 최근 사용자의 정보를 알기위해 의류와 IT를 융합한 웨어러블 제품들이 많이 출시되고 있지만 사용자의 온도 및 사용자 주변 온도를 측정하는 제품들은 아직 출시가 되어 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 현재 시중에 제공되고 있는 웨어러블 제품들과 다른 사용자의 체온을 측정하고 사용자 주변의 온도를 측정하여 사용자의 편의를 제공하고, 사용자가 저체온증 같은 신체 온도위주의 병에 걸리지 않도록 알려주고 이를 통해 사용자가 인지하여 후속 조치를 할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of kangaroo care on physical development adaptation of external environment of prematurity, and maternal role confidence of those who delivered preterm infants. The subjects were 38 preterm infants and mothers with cesarean section delivery in the hospital, located at B city. Eighteen premature infants were assigned to the kangaroo care (KC) group or the control group (CG). Data were collected between June 2013 and June 2015. KC was given 3 times a day (60 min at a time) and performed a total of 10 times. The physical development indicator (weight, height, and head circumference) as well as the adaptation of external environment (temperature, heart rate, oxygenation) of preterm infants were checked before the start of the program. Following the initial measurement, the program was performed, and measurements were taken again at the end of the program. For measurement of maternal role confidence, structured self-reported questionnaires were performed. The results showed that the KC group had a lower oxygenation compared with the CG (t=2.27, p=.02); however, the physical development indicator (weight t=-0.83, p=.21, height t=-0.34, p=.37, head circumference t=1.29, p=.10) and maternal role confidence (t=-0.41, p=.34) were not significantly compared with the CG. The results of this study suggest that the practice of KC helps the adaptation of external environment of preterm infants

Purpose: This study investigated the impact of ametropia and myopia on health-related quality of life (QoL) measures in elementary schoolers. Methods: Elementary school children of 92 aged 12 to 13 were divided into emmetropia and myopia groups by spherical equivalent. Then myopia was classified into the low, moderate and high myopia groups. Vision-related QoL scores were determined using PedsQL 4.0 (Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory) with physical health (8 items), emotional functioning (4 items), social functioning (5 items) and school functioning (5 items). Results: The total QoL score in the myopia group appeared lower than that in the emmetropia group, however the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). When it comes to physical health (running or exercising) and social functioning (getting along with friends or being teased)-related questions, the QoL score in myopia was low compared with the emmetropia group (p<0.05). High myopia showed a low score in physical health items but there was no significant difference in overall QoL scores in comparison with other groups (p<0.05). Conclusions: Refractive errors does not have a great impact on the total health-related QoL in elementary school children but it causes discomfort in physical health and social functioning.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the Otago exercise program on physical function and risk of falling in elderly who have experienced falls. Thirty-six elderly people who had experienced falls more than once were randomly classified into an experimental group and control group. Each group exercised 30 minutes three times per week for a total of 8 weeks. Measurements were made using Tetrax to assess risk of falls. In addition, to measure physical function, static balance was measured using Biorescue, dynamic balance was measured using TUG, walking ability was measured using 10 MWT, and lower extremity strength was measured using FTSST. A paired t-test was conducted to verify the difference between before and after exercise in each group, and an independent t-test was performed for comparison between the groups. Regarding the experimental and control groups, static balance ability and dynamic balance ability increased significantly after exercise, and risk of falls decreased (p<.05). Lower extremity strength and gait ability increased significantly after exercise only in the experimental group (p<.05). Based on these results, the Otago exercise program is effective in improving physical function and reducing risk of falls in elderly people who have experienced falls.
