Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the hip joint muscle strength of patients with chronic back pain with lumbar instability and normal subjects. Design: A case control study. Methods: Five types of lumbar instability test were conducted on forty young women with chronic low back pain for more than six months, and those who had 3 or more positive tests were selected as subjects. To select chronic back pain patients with lumbar instability group, aberrant movement patterns during lumbar flexion test (FMT), prone instability test (PIT), posterior-anterior mobility test (PAT), passive lumbar extension test (PLE), and pressure bio-feedback (PBF) were applied. In addition, a digital muscle strength meter was used to measure the hip flexor, extensor, adductor, and abductor muscles of chronic low back pain patients with lumbar instability group (n=20) and normal subject group (n=20). Results: As a result of comparing the hip joint muscle strength between the chronic back pain patient group with lumbar instability and the normal group, there were significant differences in the hip extensor, abductor, and adductor muscles (p<0.05). Conclusions: Patients of chronic back pain with lumbar instability were found to have weak hip joint muscle strength. Therefore, this study suggest that include hip joint strength exercise for functional recovery of chronic back pain patients.

The rheological properties of acorn crude starch gel and refined starch gel were investigated by puncture test, back-extrusion test and retrogradation test. Puncture test was a useful method to compare the different gel type and concentration, and to calculate the compression and shear coefficient. Maximum extrustion force and adhesiveness were also examined by performing back-extrustion test. The retrogradation rate was analysed by Avrami equation in retrogradation test.

차량 내 전장부품이 증가하고, 차량 OEM(Original Equipment Manufacturing)이 다양한 차종을 생산 판매함에 따라 다양한 SW(software) 형상이 개발되고 있다. 따라서, 기존에 개발된 SW 형상과 변경된 SW 형상 간에 기능 일치성 검증에 대한 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 두 가지 SW 형상 간에 기능 일치성 확인을 위한 테스팅 방법으로 Back-to-Back Testing이 있는데, 이는 각 SW 형상에 동일한 입력값을 주입하고 동일한 출력값이 산출되는 지 확인하는 테스팅 방법이다. Back-to-Back Testing 수행 시 Test case 설계가 필요한데, Test case의 분량과 테스팅 종료기준에 대해서 아직 확립이 되어 있지 않다. 이제 본 논문에서는 MC/DC(Modified Condition/Decision Coverage) 개념을 이용하여 Test case 분량과 테스팅 종료 기준에 대해서 제시하고, 이를 적용한 사례를 설명한다. 본 논문에서 제시한 Test case 설계 기준을 적용하면, 제한적인 테스팅 일정과 인력을 만족하고, 기능 일치를 확인할 수 있는 충분한 테스팅이 가능할 것으로 판단한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of auricular acupressure therapy on back pain and lower abdominal pain in female undergraduate students during menstruation. Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental design. Data was collected from March 15th to June 31st, 2011. The participants were 20 female university students for the experimental group, and 22 female university students for the control group. visual analogue scale (VAS) with the opening records was used to assess back pain and lower abdominal pain. Data was analyzed using the ${\chi}^2$-test, Fisher's exact test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Wilcoxon signed rank test using the SPSS/WIN 11.0 program. Results: There were statistically significant differences in back pain and lower abdominal pain between the two groups. Auricular acupressure therapy decreased back pain and lower abdominal pain in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusion: The study results show that auricular acupressure therapy is effective in improving back pain and lower abdominal pain in female university students during menstruation. Therefore, auricular acupressure therapy can be considered a useful nursing intervention to promote improvements in back pain and lower abdominal pain related to menstruation.

PURPOSE: This study was investigated to find the validity of active movement control test for low back pain patients with or without hamstring shortening. METHODS: The subjects of this study were 28 subjects and all of them agreed to participate in the study. All subjects were classified according to 4groups. Group1 was no LBP, no hamstring shortening. Group2 was no LBP, hamstring shortening. Group3 was LBP, no hamstring shortening. Group4 was LBP, hamstring shortening. We measured to see their low back pain and hamstring shortening with VAS, Goniometer for active movement control test. We analyzed the data using Cochran Q test and crosstabulation for agreement index. RESULTS: The results of this study were as follows : 1) Low back pain had effect on active movement control by Group1 and Group2. 2) Hamstring had effect on active movement control by Group1 and Group2 3)Low back pain with or without hamstring shortening had effect on active movement control by Group4 CONCLUSION: According the results of this study, active movement control test were significantly influenced on low back pain and hamstring interaction.

There are many equipments for the Short Circuit Test, for example Short Circuit Generator, Induction Motor, Sequence Timer, Exciter, CLR, Back Up Breaker, Making Switch and TRV etc. Especially Back up Breaker and Making Switch are very important equipments to test the short circuit test. A role of a Back up Breaker is to break high-voltage and high-current for short circuit test and a Making Switch should be operated always same speed/time and kept electrical-mechanical characteristics to make the voltage and current of short circuit test. This study introduces to the short circuit test also to kinds, principal movements and compare them of Back up Breaker and Making Switch.

The typical force-distance curves by puncture test and Back Extrusion test of acorn flour gels were investigated. Kc' and Ks' were calculated to estimate the compression and shear components of a puncture force. In this study, compression effect played a major role. The more concentration of acorn flour gel and diameter of probe increased, the more compression force contributed to the puncture force. In the Back Extrusion test, the effect of increasing the sample size was to extend the length of the plateau without affecting the maximum force. However, as the concentration of acorn flour gel increased, maximum Extrusion force became larger.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of graded low back exercise program with patient education about low back pain care on abdominal strength, endurance and flexibility of waist of chronic low back pain patents. For this study 13 patients aged 40 to 60 were selected as subjects, who suffered from low back pain and got diagnosed by physician. The exercise program and the education were executed for total 6 weeks, posture education were executed with physical exercises over first 1 to 4 weeks period and over 5 to 6 weeks the exercises were executed. The effect of the exercises and the education were evaluated through weights, WHR, fat(%), flexibility by sit-and-reach and trunk extension test, strength by sit-up test and back sit-up test. Weights were, decreased after physical exercise and education, but there was no statistical significance. Wasit hip ratio(WHR) and fat(%) were decreased after physical exercise and education, but there were no statistical significances. Sit-and-reach was significantly increased from $13.68{\pm}5.59cm$ to $19.45{\pm}3.81cm$ after education and physical exercise(P<0.05). Trunk extension was significantly increased from $30.31{\pm}11.34cm$ to $40.88{\pm}6.16cm$ after education and physical exercise(P<0.05). Sit-up and Back sit-up were increased after physical exercise and education, but there were no statistical significances. These results suggest that graded low back exercise program with patient education about low back pain care increase the abdominal strength, endurance and the flexibility of waist in low back pain patients.

The purpose of this study was to assess the biomechanical effects of corset and back brace for low back pain syndroms patients. The subjects of this study were 69 patients with low back pain syndroms who had been hospitalized or were visited out-patient department of the rehabilitation hospital, college of medicine, Yonsei University, from October 5, 1995 through November 5, 1995. Clinical results and datum were obtained by phone calls and chart reviews of low back pain patients. The results were as follows: 1) Fifty - nine subjects recovered over a good grade (85.6%). 2) The standing workers had a little effect of brace for low back pain. 3) After using a corset and back brace, the test of SLR increased from 36.23% to 72.47%, and the ability of ambulation improved from 40.57% to 85.5%. In conclusion, the biomechanical effects of corset and back brace for low back pain patients were found to be decrease pains and improve posture and ADL function.
