기존의 디지털미디어에 관한 논의들이 지나치게 디지털기술의 생산성과 효율성에만 주목하면서 긍정적인 면도 많지만 역으로 디지털 치매 등과 같은 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 다시 말해 스마트 폰 등에 저장되어 있는 전화번호 및 메모 등이 우리에게 편리함이라는 혜택을 주고는 있지만 반대로 조그마한 것이라도 쉽게 기억해 내지 못하는 역효과가 사회적 이슈로 대두되고 있다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 디지털미디어 이용자들의 위험성과 문제점 및 해결방안에 대한 의견 등 최근 가장 주목받는 미디어로서 대부분 디지털매체를 포괄하는 융합미디어이기 때문에 다양한 위험요인들이 집결되어있는 특징을 여러 디지털기기사용자를 분석대상으로 삼아 이러한 유형들에 대한 사례들 그리고 이러한 유형들에 대한 예방 및 사후대응방안에 대한 의견을 확인하고 이를 해결하기 위한 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

Based on PRISMA's guidelines and evidence-based intervention, a systematic review were conducted, and papers published in domestic journals for the past 10years were collected, and the dependent variables measured along with the intervention type and gait were analyzed. For data search, research papers from January 2011 to June 2020 were collected through RISS, KISS, the National Library of Korea, and the Library of Congress. The main search terms were 'dementia patient', 'walking', and 'walking ability'. Searched 57 papers on dementia patients and gait that meet the literature selection criteria. Among them, papers overlapping with papers before 2010, papers whose dependent variable is not related to gait ability were excluded, and finally, other than dementia diseases. As for the type of gait intervention, there were many programs related to exercise such as fall prevention and physical activity, and the dependent variables measured along with gait were physically and psychologically diverse. Although domestic studies for dementia patients are conducted in a variety of directions and methods, there are few studies on the improvement of function and gait of the lower extremity part of the body. Therefore, it is necessary to study the multifaceted and various intervention methods for walking in dementia patients.
