The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of balance control in virtual moving surround stimulation using head mount display (HMD) device and force platform in patients with brain injury. Fifteen patients with stroke (mean age 54.47 yrs) and fifteen healthy normal persons participated. COP parameters were obtained total path distance, frequency of anterior-posterior and medial-lateral component by FFT analysis, weight-spectrum analysis in the two different conditions; (1) during comfortable standing with opened or closed eyes, (2) during virtual moving surround stimulation delivered using HMD with four different moving pattern. Moving patterns consisted of close-far, superior-inferior lilting (pitch) , right-left tilting (roll) and horizontal rotation (yaw) movement. In all parameters, the test-retest reliability was high. Also, the construct validity of virtual moving surround stimulation was excellent (p＜0.05). A posturographic balance assessment system equiped with virtual moving surround stimulation using HMD is considered clinically useful in evaluation of balance control in patients with brain injury.

최근 평균수명의 연장에 따른 사회 노년층의 증가로 낙상사고의 빈도가 높아지고 있으며, 또한 교통사고 발생이 빈번함에 따라 전정계 이상 및 체성감각계의 기능 손상에 의한 자세균형 환자가 점점 증가하고 있는 추세이며, 이러한 균형 제어력의 소실이 환자의 재활치료에 많은 어려움을 초래하고 있다. 자세균형제어에 관한 연구는 주로 힘판을 이용하여 특정 감각시스템으로부터의 입력을 제한하거나 외력에 의해 평형 유지를 방해했을 때, 신체 전이(displacement), 압력중심의 움직임(Center Of Pressure; COP), 자세 유지 시 작용하는 근육의 활동전위 등을 측정하는 연구와 더불어 균형에 어려움을 느끼는 환자를 위한 바이오피드백(Biofeedback)을 적용한 연구가 보고되고 있다.(중략)

무인 헬리콥터의 자세 정보를 계측할 수 있는 액체형 균형센서의 특성에 대해 연구하였다. 액체형 균형센서는 시간경과에 따른 누적오차가 없으므로 헬리콥터에 장착하면 장시간동안 균형을 유지시킬 수 있다. 제작된 균형센서의 각 전극에서 측정된 전압으로부터 기울어진 각도를 추정하기 위해 균형센서를 전기적으로 해석하고 측정된 전압과 각도사이의 환산모델을 유도하였다. 구해진 환산모델의 정확성을 실험을 통하여 입증하였다.

The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of balance control in moving surround using head mount device and force platform and to examine the clinical usefulness of COP parameters. Fifteen patients with stroke and healthy persons were participated. COP parameters were obtained as total path distance, frequency of anterior-posterior and medial-lateral component by FFT analysis, weight-spectrum analysis in the two different conditions; (1) in comfortable standing with opened or closed eyes, (2) in virtual moving surround delivered using HMD to four different moving pattern. In virtual moving surround setting, moving pattern was composed of close-far, superior-inferior tilting(pitch), right-left tilting(roll) and horizontal rotation(yaw) movement. In all parameters, the reliebility of COP analysis system was significantly high. Also, the construct validity compared between fifteen patients with stroke and normal persons was excellent in virtual moving surround condition(p

In this paper, the two-wheels robot using a predictive controller to maintain the balance of the posture control in real time have been examined. A reaction wheel pendulum control method is adopted to maintain the balance while the bicycle robot is driving. The objective of this research was to design and implement a self-balancing algorithm using the dsPIC30F4013 embedded processor. To calculate the attitude in ARS using 2 axis gyro(roll, pitch) and 3 axis accelerometers (x, y, z). In this study, the disturbance of the posture for the asymmetrical propose to overcome the predictive controller which was a problem in the control of a remote system by introducing the two wheels of the robot controller and the linear prediction of the system controller combines the simulation was performed. Also, the robust characteristic for realizing the goal of designing a loop filter too robust controller is designed so that satisfactory stability of the control system to improve stability of the system to minimize degradation of performance was confirmed.

This Paper describes a quantitative analysis of Postural balance training using virtual bicycle system. We have used a virtual bicycle system that combines virtual reality technology with a bicycle . In this experiment, 20 normal adults were tested to investigate the influencing factors on Postural balance. Several factors including cycling time. cycling velocity. number of times of Path deviation, center of Pressure(COP) . and weight shift were extracted and evaluated to quantify the extent of control. Also, To improve the effect of balance training, we investigated the usefulness of visual feedback information by weight shift The results showed that the system was effective Postural balance rehabilitation training device and. in addition. the analysis method might have a wider applicability to the rehabilitation field.

The purpose of this study was to develop a balance chair for improving pelvic correction and postural balance through postural balance training using tactile feedback by a vibration motor provided in real time according to the user's attitude. We built a body frame using mono cast(MC) Nylon, Touch thin film transistor(TFT) for user interface, a main control module using Arduino, a 9-axis acceleration sensor for user's posture determination, and a vibration module for tactile feedback. The prototype of the Balance Chair which surrounds the outside was made with cushion for sitting conformability. In order to verify the effectiveness of the postural balance training system using the built prototype, the muscle activity (% MVIC) of the left and right iliocostalis lumborum those are the main muscles of the spinal movement was measured with ten female subjects. And the balance ability before and after training was measured using Spine Balance 3D, a posture balance ability evaluation device. The muscular activities of the left and right iliocostalis lumborum showed the balance activation according to vibration feedback during exercise protocol and postural balance improved after balance exercise training using balance chair. This study could be apply to use the fundamental research for developing the various postural balance product.

Recently, with a great deal of attention and utilization to the UAV like a drone, many application cases using UAV in various fields have been proliferated rapidly. These UAV, however, has many risks like balance deviation and drone crash due to the external environmental factors. The attitude control algorithm for UAV is the most important portion in order to maintain the safe management of UAV, and the best solution is PID control algorithm which is generously used and almost perfect attitude control technology nowadays. In this paper, we propose the smart attitude control algorithm using fuzzy logic in order to provide safe and continuous attitude control against external environmental factors, and compare the performance through simulation study between PID and our algorithm.
