Purpose: This study aimed to investigate effective cueing methods for selective muscle activation of the serratus anterior. Methods: Based on the inclusion criteria, 26 healthy adults, both males and females, were recruited for the measurement of muscle activation of the upper trapezius and serratus anterior muscles while performing basic movements in knee push-up plus (KPP) and dynamic hug (DH) positions using five different cueing methods. An electromyogram was used to measure muscle activation, and both muscle activation and muscle ratio (serratus anterior/upper trapezius) were compared during the basic movements and different cueing methods. The cueing methods were trapezius verbal cueing, trapezius verbal cueing + trapezius tactile cueing, emphasis verbal cueing, serratus anterior tactile cueing, and trapezius verbal cueing + trapezius tactile cueing + serratus anterior tactile cueing. Results: The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference in the muscles for the two exercises (p < 0.05). There was also a significant difference between the cueing methods (p < 0.05). The correlative effect between the muscles and cueing methods was also significant (p < 0.05). The muscle ratio in trapezius verbal cueing + trapezius tactile cueing + serratus anterior tactile cueing during KPP and DH was higher than in basic movements and other cueing methods. This confirms that trapezius verbal cueing + trapezius tactile cueing + serratus anterior tactile cueing is an effective cueing method for selective activation of the serratus anterior during KPP and DH. This study also demonstrated that cueing by a therapist may both increase and decrease selective muscle activation. Conclusion: Through this study, an effective cueing method to selectively activate the serratus anterior may be suggested, and the results of this study may provide basic information regarding future studies and clinical practice.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate effective cueing methods for selective muscle activation of gluteus medius muscles. Design: Cross sectional study design. Methods: Using the inclusion criteria for this study, 20 healthy adults, both males and females were selected for the measurement of muscle activation of gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and tensor fascia latae muscles while performing clamshell exercise, basic movements in leg raise in side-lying, and 3 different cueing methods. Electromyogram was used to measure muscle activation, and both muscle activation and muscle ratio were compared during the basic movements and different cueing methods. Results: Gluteus medius activation was highest using "try not to make your body rotate" (cueing method 2) in both clamshell exercise and leg raise side-lying (F=5.533, p<0.05, F=7.771, p<0.05), and muscle ratio was highest in clamshell exercise using cueing method 2 (p<0.05) and "don't move your tensor fascia late" (cueing method 1) in leg raise side-lying (p<0.05). This study showed that cueing method 1 in leg raise side-lying and cueing method 2 in clamshell exercise were the most effective cueing methods for selective muscle activation of gluteus medius muscle. Conclusions: The results of this study may be used as basic information for future studies on muscle activation and muscle ratio for different cueing methods and different muscles in various exercises.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate preschoolers understanding whether thinking influences emotion with cognitive cueing. The subjects were 75 preschoolers of the J, Y, & K kindergartens located in Taegu. They were 4-(12 boys and 13 girls), 5-(12 boy and 13 girls), and 6-years(13 boys and 12 girls) old. The instruments were 4 stories and 11 pictures per a story used in Lagattuta, Wellman & Flavell(1997). The responses given from preschoolers were classified in terms of cognitive cueing response. The major results showed that an initial understanding of cognitive cueing in some preschoolers revealed the evidence of significantly developmental changes during the preschool years. Cognitive cueing responses were significantly different according to thinking prompt which is the question to help preschoolers explanations. This result suggested that the instruments of measurement for preschoolers should be improved as possible as they can understand.

타인의 시선 방향과 시각적 표적이 나타나는 위치가 일치할 때 표적에 대한 탐지가 빠르고, 정확해지는 것을 시선 단서 효과(gaze cueing effect)라 한다. 시선 단서는 얼굴의 방향(orientation)에 의해 영향 받을 수 있는데, 얼굴이 똑바로(upright) 제시될 때는 강력한 시선 단서 효과가 나타나지만 얼굴이 180° 회전되어 거꾸로(inverted) 제시될 때는 일부 연구에서만 유의한 시선 단서 효과가 보고되었다(예, Tipples, 2005). 본 연구는 얼굴의 위아래가 거꾸로 제시될 때 시선이 주의를 유도하는 단서로 작동할 수 있는지 재확인하고, 얼굴의 방향 뿐 아니라 배경의 방향, 시선 단서와 표적 간의 시간 간격(SOA) 등 시선 단서에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 변인들을 체계적으로 조작하여 시선 단서의 효과를 살펴보고자 하였다. 실험 결과, 선행 연구와 달리 거꾸로 된 얼굴에서도 유의한 시선 단서 효과가 관찰되었으며, 이러한 결과는 배경이 없거나(실험 1), 배경이 있을 때(실험 2와 3) 모두 일관되게 관찰되었으며, 얼굴과 배경의 방향 간 상호작용은 유의하지 않았다. 또한 SOA가 짧을 때(150 ms) 모든 얼굴과 배경 방향 조건에서 유의한 시선 단서 효과가 관찰되었으나, SOA가 길 때는(1000 ms) 시선 단서 효과가 유의하지 않았다. 본 연구는 거꾸로 된 얼굴에서도 비교적 짧은 SOA 조건의 경우(150 ms) 유의한 시선 단서 효과가 일관적으로 관찰됨을 보여줌으로써 과거 거꾸로 된 얼굴에서 유의한 시선 단서 효과를 얻지 못했던 일부 연구 결과의 신뢰도와 반복 관찰 가능성에 의문을 제기함은 물론, 얼굴과 배경의 다양한 방향에서도 시선이 향하는 방향으로 주의가 유도될 수 있음을 보여주는 추가적 증거를 제공했다는 점에서 의미가 있다.

Objective: Purpose of this study was to compare muscle activity ratio of multifidus to erector spinalis according to various cueing including tactile stimulation to provide an effective strategy to provide verbal and tactile feedback during exercise to provoke multifidus muscle activation. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Participants of this study included 28 healthy adults. Muscle activities of the multifidus and erector spinalis were measured while the participants performed tasks according to the three different methods of verbal cueing and three different tactile stimulation. Surface EMG was used to measure the muscular activity of the muscles during all the tasks. Results: Tactile stimulation to abdomen and lumbar vertebrae showed no significant difference in the muscle activity ratio (p>0.05). However, muscle activity ratio of the multifidus in relation to the erector spinalis was increased when subjects were given verbal instructions to make lumbar curvature with little force and to make lumbar curvature while pulling navel (p<0.05). However, it was decreased when they were provided with verbal instruction to make lumbar curvature with strong force (p<0.05). Conclusions: According to the results, proper verbal instruction was an effective tool to increase the muscular activity of multifidus. This study aimed to find and provide the most appropriate verbal cueing while doing exercises to activate multifidus.

A recent air defense missile system is required to have a capability to intercept short-range super-high speed targets such as tactical ballistic missile(TBMs) by performing engagement control efficiently. Since flight time and distance of TBM are very short, the missile defense system should be ready to engage a TBM as soon as it takes an indication of the TBM launch. As a result, it has to predict TBM trajectory accurately with cueing information received from an early warning system, and designate search direction and volume for own radar to detect/track TBM as fast as it can, and also generate necessary engagement information. In addition, it is needed to engage TBM accurately via transmitting tracked TBM position and velocity data to the corresponding intercept missiles. In this paper, we proposed a method to estimate TBM trajectory based on the Kepler's law for the missile system to detect and track TBM using the cueing information received before the TBM arrives the apogee of the ballistic trajectory, and analyzed the bias of prediction error in terms of the transmission period of cueing data between the missile system and the early warning system.

The Sign system of nursing home plays an important role when an elderly adapts to new environment and gets on daily life autonomously. Common living spaces are expecially important in maintaining social nature, adequate signage should be installed to aid them in finding their ways. Sign system is a comprehensive system consisted of various factors. In this research, it has been categorized as signage and cueing. Signage includes text and graphic signs, and cueing consists of floor plan configuration and sensual mechanism of visual, auditory, olfactory senses. Using this framework, held investigation and analysis were held in common area(shared living room, shared dining room, toilet) of 14 Korean, 8 Northern European, and 10 Japanese nursing home facilities. The result revealed that even though sign system should work as a combined unit, each factor was planed without relations to each other and did not perform mutually complementary role. Signage was installed too high, without considering the posture of elderly. Korean facilities used abundant and diverse signage compared to other countries. Japanese nursing home preferred cueing method over signage, and those of Northern Europe used plentiful visual cues such as color and ornaments.

Purpose: New therapeutic approaches have emerged to improve gait ability in patients with brain damage, such as action observation learning (AOT), auditory cueing, motor imagery etc. We attempted to investigate the effects of AOT with auditory cueing (AOTAC) on gait function in patients with stroke. Methods: The eighteen stroke patients with a unilateral hemiparesis were randomly divided into three groups; the AOTAC, AOT, and control groups. The AOTAC group (n=8) received training via observing a video that showed normal gait with sound of footsteps as an auditory cue; the AOT group (n=6) receive action observation without auditory stimulation; the control group (n=5) observed the landscape video image. Intervention time of three groups was 30 minutes per day, five times a week, for four weeks. Gait parameters, such as cadence, velocity, stride length, stance phase, and swing phase were collected in all patients before and after each training session. Results: Significant differences were observed among the three groups with respect to the parameters, such as cadence, velocity, stride length, and stance/swing phase. Post-hoc analysis indicated that the AOTAC group had a greater significant change in all of parameters, compared with the AOT and control groups. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that AOTAC may be an effective therapeutic approach to improve gait symmetry and function in patients with stroke. We believe that this effect is attributable to the change of cortical excitability on motor related to cortical areas.

본 연구는 국내 음악치료 및 물리치료 분야에서 리듬청각자극(RAS)을 적용하여 수행된 연구를 비교분석하였다. 이를 위해 1999년부터 2018년 11월까지 발표된 학위 논문과 학술지 게재 연구 중 RAS 및 보행기능 관련 주제어를 검색하여 기준에 부합한 45개의 연구를 선정하였고, 세부중재방법과 리듬자극의 유형, 기술된 치료 원리의 측면에서 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 두 영역에서의 연구 모두 일정한 간격의 리듬을 핵심적인 치료 자극으로 사용하고 RAS의 기본 절차를 따른 점에서는 공통적이었지만, 목표기능이나 구체적인 리듬제공방법에 있어서는 차이가 있었다. 음악치료 연구에서는 모두 보행기능이 목표 변인이었던 데 비해, 물리치료 연구에서는 균형이나 근력, 고유수용성감각 등 관련 신체기능이 목표에 포함되었다. 또한 음악치료 연구에서는 다양한 요소를 포함한 '음악'이 리듬자극으로 활용된 반면, 물리치료 연구에서는 메트로놈을 리듬자극으로 활용한 연구가 음악을 활용한 연구보다 많았다. RAS 원리와 관련하여 단순한 기법 설명 외에 동조화와 같이 치료의 원리가 충분히 기술된 연구는 물리치료보다는 음악치료 분야에서 많이 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 음악치료 연구에서는 리듬과 더불어 음악의 다양한 요소가 보행에 미칠 수 있는 영향이 고려되어 음악의 역할이 적극적으로 활용된 반면, 물리치료 연구에서는 보행에 영향을 미치는 다양한 신체기능에 대한 개입이 포함된 경향이 있음을 보여준다. 두 가지 측면 모두 재활에 있어 중요한 부분임을 고려할 때, 본 연구는 다학제간 연구를 기반으로 한 RAS 연구의 기법의 확장 적용에 대한 시사점을 제시한다고 할 수 있다.
