The purpose of this study was to compare the retentive force of cast half round circumferential clasps, cast round circumferential clasps and wrought wire clasps on three different depths of undercut(10G,20G.30G), and to determine the proper amount of undercut for cast round circumferential clasp. Three different lower second premolar crowns were cast and each of clasp was made. Each of clasp affixed to the different types of clasp. Their retentive forces were measured with universal testing machine. The results were as follows : 1. When the depth of undercut was same, the greatest retentive force was exerted by cast half round circumferential clasp, followed by cast round - 33 - circumferential clasp and wrought wire clasp. 2. The degree of variation amount of retentive force according to depth of undercut was greatest for cast round circumferential clasp. 3. Not only elastic deformation but also permanent deformation of the retentive arm was observed after insertion and removal of the clasp. The results of this study show that the retentive force of cast round circumferential clasp falls between those of cast half round circumferential clasp and wrought wire clasp, and suggest that a 20G undercut is suitable for ensuring an appropriate degree of the retentive force.

A linear ultrasonic motor was designed by a combination of the longitudinal and bending mode. Linear ultrasonic motors are based on an elliptical motion on the surface of elastic body, such as bar or plates. The corresponding eigen-mode of one resonance frequency can be excited twice at the same time with a phase shift of 90 degrees in space and time. That is excite symmetric and anti-symmetric modes. Then it determines the thrust and speed of the motor. Linear ultrasonic motors are investigated experimentally in according to be fabricated a general classification to motor structure and material characteristic. There was the first to simulate as use of finite element analysis ANSYS 9.0. The AL-T2W8-ARM14-LEG18-ANGLE80 motor has a maxim efficiency 17 [%] under the speed 0.14 [m/s], thrust 345 [gf] and preload 280 [gf], operating frequency is 57.6 [kHz].

노화가 진행됨에 따라 근육은 감소 현상(sarcopenia)을 나타낸다. 근육의 감소는 노인의 의료비 증가와 직접적인 관련성은 없어 보이지만, 근육의 감소가 근력의 감소로 연결되어 체력의 약화, 활동성의 감소, 낙상의 증가 등과 같은 독립적인 생활을 감소시킨다. 이는 신체장애로 연결되며, 또다시 당뇨, 비만, 고지혈증, 고혈압 등과 같은 만성퇴행성 질환으로 연결된다. 결국, 근감소증은 사망률을 상승시키는 잠재 위험요인이 된다. 본 연구는 탄력밴드 운동을 통한 근감소증 예방과 관련된 변인인 신체조성 및 체력의 향상된 변화와 더불어 운동 중단에 따른 운동효과의 상쇄(相殺) 정도를 살펴보는데 있다. 본 연구의 피검자는 S시 J구 J노인복지관 운동프로그램에 참가하는 60-70대의 노인 14명으로 선정하였다. 12주 동안의 탄력밴드 운동은 주2회의 빈도로 실시하였다. 측정시기는 12주간의 통제전, 통제후(운동전), 12주간의 운동 후(운동중단 전), 12주간의 운동중단 후로 신체조성 과 체력 변인을 측정하였다. 12주간의 통제전·후 신체조성과 체력 변인에는 통계적인 유의차가 나타나지 않았으나, 12주간의 운동전·후 신체조성의 체중(t=2.978, p=0.001), 체질량지수(t=3.502, p=0.004), 체지방율(t=2.216, p=0.045), 근육량(t=-3.837, p=0.002), 내장지방면적(t=5.186, p<0.001), 허리-엉덩이 둘레비(t=3.045, p=0.009) 모든 변인에서, 체력의 2분 제자리 걷기(t=-6.891 p<0.001), 덤벨들기(t=-4.702, p<0.001), 의자에서 일어섰다 앉기(t=-4.860, p<0.001), 의자앉아 앞으로 굽히기(t=-5.910, p<0.001), 등 뒤에서 손잡기(t=-3.835, p=0.002), 244cm 왕복 걷기(t=7.560, p<0.001)의 모든 변인에서 운동의 효과를 나타내었고, 그 효과가 12주간의 운동중단 후에도 신체조성의 체중(t=2.323, p=0.037), 체질량지수(t=2.503, p=0.026), 근육량(t=-3.137, p=0.008) 변인에서, 체력의 2분 제자리 걷기(t=-6.489 p<0.001), 의자에서 일어섰다 앉기(t=-4.694, p<0.001), 의자앉아 앞으로 굽히기(t=-3.690, p=0.003), 244cm 왕복 걷기(t=7.539, p<0.001)의 변인에서 그 유지가 지속되었다. 노인에게 있어서 탄력밴드 운동은 신체조성 및 체력에 긍정적인 영향을 나타내며, 그 운동의 효과가 12주가 경과되어도 유지되고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Purpose: Elastofibroma is a rare benign tumor that is characterized histologically by the presence of abnormal elastic fibers within a stroma of fibroadipose tissue. Usually it is slow-growing, solid, ill-defined mass occurring chiefly in elderly woman and arising from the soft tissue around the inferior angle of the scapula. Methods: We experienced a representative case of elastofibroma. A 73-year-old women complained of a soft-tissue mass, which measured $6{\times}6cm$, at the inferior angle of the left scapula, which had been found incidentally 4 months before. When the arm was elevated, the mass projected out beneath the scapula. The entire mass was resected with a tumor-free margin. Results: The resected tumor appeared to be nonencapsulated, fibrous and white mass, and it contained yellow fatty streaks. We confirmed that the histopathologic diagnosis of this tumor was elastofibroma. Follow-up examination revealed no evidence of local recurrence for 10 months. Conclusion: This entity is rarely reported in Korea. However, more patients could be diagnosed if physicians pay more careful attention to clinical and radiological features of elastofibroma. Moreover, recognizing the benign nature of this lesion is important to avoid an unnecessary operation.

Purpose : This study aims to present a rehabilitation exercise and physical education program (REPEP) for local community stroke patients by examining an exercise program provided from traditional physical therapeutic perspectives. Methods : The subjects were 40 stroke patients residing in a local community and managed by a public health center (the group-exercise group: 20, the individual-exercise group: 20). In the case of the group-exercise group (GEG), the subjects were divided into small groups composed of five members each to participate in the program. The individual-exercise group (IEG) took part in the program individually. The subjects received a REPEP that included a warm-up exercise, an elastic band exercise, a leg exercise, a balance and gait exercise, an arm and trunk exercise, and a cool-down exercise twice per week for 20 weeks. They had their gait function, balance index, and muscle strength in the bilateral knee joints tested before and after the experiment. Results : Compared to before the experiment, both groups' gait function, balance index, and muscle strength in the knee joints increased after the experiment. After the experiment, the GEG experienced more improvement in their gait function, balance index, and muscle strength in the bilateral knee joints, excluding their gait velocity and $300^{\circ}/sec$ flexion and extension, than the IEG (p<.05). Conclusion : An exercise program provided from the traditional physical therapeutic perspectives may be applied to stroke patients as their REPEP. In addition, a REPEP was more effective in improving their gait function, balance index, and muscle strength in the knee joints when the subjects formed a group and took part in the program than when they partook in it individually.

In this study, the application of a medical compression sleeve of Moisture Responded Transformable(MRT) fibers to the treatment of lymphedema after surgery in breast cancer patients was investigated. MRT fibers were manufactured with PET and Nylon6 bi-component cross-section yarns, and compression sleeves of sleeves 1, 2, 3, and 4 were knitted in order of size, and then the physical properties and clinical tests were evaluated. As a result, the pressure of compression sleeve in wrinkle was the lowest in sleeve 1 with 3.81 kPa, and the highest in sleeve 4 with 5.22 kPa. Elastic recovery rate is that all parts except the top of the sleeve 1 exhibited 100%. The air permeability was good at 12.1 ~ 16.1 cm³/cm²/sec, and peeling was also comparatively excellent as grade 3. In addition, the weight of the compression sleeves 1, 2, and 3 decreased as 18.3 ~ 23.0 g/m² depend on size, while the compared sample was heavier with 17.39 ~ 32.61 g/m². In lymphoscintigraphy test, it was confirmed that the function of remaining lymph node was good in all patients. Although there were no differences between samples in skin irritation and tightness in wearing comfort, the manufactured sleeves showed better fit, lightness, fashion and breathability than the comparable sleeves.
