본 연구는 기능성 신사화 착용이 즉각적인 선자세 족저압력 분포 변화에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 남성 물리치료사 8명을 대상으로 하루 간격을 두고 동일한 대상에게 일반적 신사화와 기능성 신사화를 착용하고 선 자세 동안 높은 족저압력의 발과 낮은 족저압력의 발간에 족저압력 분포를 비교하였다. 비교 분석 결과, 일반화를 착용한 선 자세에서 높은 족저압력의 발과 낮은 족저압력의 발간에 족저압력 비율이 유의한 차이를 보였지만 기능성 신사화에서 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그리고 높은 족저압력 분포 발에서 기능성 및 일반적 신사화간에 전족부와 후족부의 압력이 차이를 보였다. 선 자세에서 기능성 신사화가 일반적 신사화 보다 즉각적으로 정상 생리적 자세를 유도하는 것으로 보였다.

The purpose of this study was to compare plantar pressure and COP parameters in three types of arch support insole during stair descent in elderly with flatfoot. A total of 14 women elderly were recruited for this study. Pedar-X was used to obtain plantar pressure(peak pressure, mean pressure, and contact area) and COP(distance, displacement, excursion) parameters. One-way ANOVAs were used to compare peak pressure, mean pressure, and contact area, distance of COP, displacement of COP, and excursion of COP. Among the plantar pressure parameters, significant(p<0.05) differences were observed in M3 for the peak pressure, M2, M3, and M4 for the mean pressure, and M2, M3, and M6 for the contact area. Among the COP parameters, distances of COP both in the mediolateral and anteroposterior axes revealed significant(p<0.05) differences. The larger peak pressure values of type A and B insoles were observed as compared to normal insole. The larger peak pressure and shorter COP distance values of type A and B insoles were observed as compared to normal insole.

The purpose of this study was to compare the foot plantar pressure and temperature changes of the developed combat boots with functional impact absorption and ventilation insole. A total of 11 male subjects(age: $21.8{\pm}2.2yrs$, height: $174.3{\pm}3.6cm$, weight: $71.6{\pm}8.6kg$, foot length: $261.0{\pm}1.0mm$) were recruited to compare the foot plantar pressure and temperature changes of the three types of combat boots: Combat boots A (generalized combat boots), Combat boots B (developed combat boots with ventilation function), Combat boots C (Application of ventilation function and impact absorption insole to combat boots B). Pedar-X and a portable thermistor temperature sensor were used to measure the foot plantar pressure parameters and the internal temperature of the combat boots, respectively. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the results of plantar pressure and temperature changes. The results were as follows: First, in the foot plantar pressure parameters, combat boots C showed the significant lower maximum foot plantar pressure in the right/left rear foot compared with combat boots A and average foot plantar pressure in the left foot compared with combat boots B. Second, after 40 minutes from the start of walking, the developed combat boots B and C showed the significant lower temperature than the general combat boots A.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the foot-pressure distribution of Tennis Shoes for assessing their functionality. 10 university male students (shoe size: 265mm) who had no history of injury in the lower extremity and a normal gait pattern participated in this study. Four types of tennis shoes, most popular in Korea (A, B, C & D company), were selected and tested. Using the PEDAR-X system and PEDAR-X insoles, 4 different motion stages were analyzed for the foot-pressure distribution: (a) straight running; (b) c-cut($45^{\circ}$ left turn running; (c) forehand stroke; and (d) backhand stroke. Results revealed that in all stages, there were no statistically significant differences among the types of shoes; however, descriptive statistics indicated that functionality of shoe types was somewhat different depending on the type of stages. The order in functionality found was C>A>B>D.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 12-week complex training program on foot pressure patterns of the elderly women. The training program consisted of aerobic exercise and muscular training for 12 weeks. Two stages of walking were given to the participants before and after treatment: (a) straight walking; and (b) turn at $45^{\circ}$ while walking. Data related to foot-pressure distribution(FPD) while walking were collected from each stage and analyzed. Results indicated that in both stage of walking, the mean of the foot pressure(FP) was significantly reduced after the participation in the program. Results also revealed that in all stages, the patterns of the FPD and the center of pressure(COP) were widely lower and more stable. Based on the results of this study, it was concluded that participating in a 12-week complex program bas impact on the gait patterns of the elderly women, reducing the foot pressure on their shoes.

본 연구는 기능성 및 일반적 캐쥬얼화간에 빠른보행과 편안한 보행 시 족저 압력에 미치는 영향을 확인하여 보고자 한다. 남성 물리치료사 8명을 대상으로 하루 간격을 두고 동일한 대상에게 일반적 캐쥬얼화와 기능성 캐쥬얼화를 착용하고 10m 편안한 보행과 빠른 보행 동안 족저 악력을 각각 측정하였다. 전체, 1번째 발가락, 2-3번째 발가락, 4-5번째 발가락, 안쪽 중족골, 바깥쪽 중족골, 안쪽 뒷꿈치, 바깥쪽 뒷꿈치로 나누어 분석하여 4 보행 조건(일반적 캐쥬얼화-편안한 보행, 기능성 캐쥬얼화-편안한 보행, 일반적 캐쥬얼화-빠른 보행, 기능성 캐쥬얼화-빠른 보행) 간에 비교하였다. 비교 분석 결과 유의하지 않지만 빠른 보행이 편안한 보행 보다 안쪽 발가락과 뒷꿈치 압력이 증가하는 것으로 볼 때, 기능성 캐주얼화가 일반적 캐쥬얼화보다 보행의 움직임성을 증가시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to find biomechanical parameters for optimal shoes production through an ergonomic usability assessment of five existing types of shoes preferred by B-BOY. Ten experts and ten non-experts participated in the experiment, and 12 infrared cameras (Qualis, Oqus), force plate (Kistler, 9286AA) and foot pressure plate (Zebris Gmbh, Zebris PDM-System) were used to obtain the data. The results of the study are as follows. First, P shoes with a friction coefficient of 0.38 and a free moment of 0.32 N/m/kg are desirable in terms of traction capability and safety. Second, on the cushion, it was found that the N shoes 2.51 N, sec/kg and non-expert, and 2.86 N and sec/kg were suitable. Third, it is deemed appropriate for C shoes with a forefoot average pressure of 10.11 KPa (right), 10.05 KPa (left), and V shoes with a rearfoot average pressure of 8.4 KPa (right) and 8.36 KPa (left). In conclusion, the combination of the structure and material of V shoes should be developed for traction and stability, N shoes for cushion, and walking balance for C and V shoes.

The study analyzed the mechanism of plantar foot pressure distribution during pitching wedge swinging on a flat, an up hill lie and a down hill lie to provide the fundamental information regarding biomechanical motion data by using plantar foot pressure measuring instrument. In the results, time factor spanning according to slope differences, plantar foot pressure factor and swing motion on the slope could have negative effect on the coiling of lower limbs during back swing, as well as the blocking of the lower limbs to minimize the dispersion of the weight and the release of the lower limbs after the impact during the down swing process. Moreover, since slope is one of many external factors affecting swing motion, address motion on an up hill lie limits the lower limbs movement, therefore, a relatively narrow stance is better on a down hill lie. It is estimated that a relatively wide stance would be better in order to limit the bigger activation of the lower limbs. Not only for the address motion but also during the down swing on an up hill lie it is concluded that the weight should be on the left foot in order to keep the body balance.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changing plantar foot pressure and muscle activation of neck, lumbar and low limb by different way of the using carrier during walking. Twenty healthy and young females who brought up infants and had no musculoskeletal disorders of neck, lumbar and low limb were instructed to perform plantar foot pressure and muscle activation of neck, lumbar and low limb during different ways of the using the carrier and walking. Plantar foot pressures were recorded by RS-scan system(RS scan Ltd, German), muscle activation were recorded by ProComp infinitiTM(Thought Technology Ltd, Canada). The data collected by each way of the using carrier and One-way ANOVA was used to analyze. The results indicated that there was a significant increase on erector spinae muscle activation and pressure of great toe zone by using anterior carrier and there was a increase on activation of paraspinal muscle and metatarsal zone by using posterior carrier. Therefore, the way of using carrier could be influenced upon structure and function of the foot and muscle activation.

균형 장애나 비정상적 보행 패턴으로 인한 질환을 예방하고 치료하기 위해서는 균형 능력과 보행 패턴에 대한 정량적인 평가가 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 임상에서 사용하는 균형 및 보행 분석 시스템과 임상적 평가의 단점을 보완하기 위한 임상적 평가를 위한 다중 센서 내장 깔창 시스템을 제안한다. 이 시스템은 검사 대상자가 압력 센서들과 관성 센서가 내장된 깔창을 착용하고 임상적 검사를 수행하면 균형 및 보행과 관련된 다양한 지표를 정량적으로 제시하고 현재 족저압력 분포 및 자세 등을 실시간으로 시각화 한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 시스템을 보완하여 임상에 적용한다면 간편하게 정량적인 평가가 가능한 환경을 제공할 것으로 기대한다.
