This study was undertaken to identify the musculotendinous problems and contributing factors to those problems In students majoring in musical instruments in Korea. The data were collected from March 2, 1996 to March 31, 1996 from 261 music students in various geographical areas. The data were analyzed for descriptive statistics, t-test, chi-square using SPSS $PC^+$ program. The results of this study were as follows : 1. In a questionnaire survey of 261 music students, one hundred twenty five(47.9%) reported having had various musculotendinous symptoms. Twenty seven students among the those who had previous symptoms(21.9%) reported the present symptoms. 2. The experience rates of musculotendinous problems in keyboard players, string players and woodwind players were 50.3%, 48.2%, 33.3% respectively. 3. Most of the students practiced most intensively during their high school years and the musculotendinous symptoms began at the same period. 4. Pain, tenderness and stiffness were the most common symptoms, while paresthesia and motor dysfunction were rare. This indicates that most players had muscle tendinous overuse, while small number had nerve entrapment and motor dysfunction. 5. In past and present symptoms, string players experienced musculotendinous symptoms mainly in both sides of shoulders, lumbar area, left finger, and left wrist, while keyboard players experienced more symptoms in the right wrist, shoulder, fingers than left side. 6. The major contributing factors to the symptoms were weight of instrument, types of instruments, types of daily activities, duration of practice, and playing technique. 7 The most frequent treatment modalities for the symptoms were acupuncture or moxibustion, other alternative therapy such as heat compress and massage. Through this study it was found that the musculotendinous problems might be increased along with their career, due to lack of knowledge about preventive measures and patterns of health behavior seeking alternative modalities rather than professional consultation. Therefore, preventive measures that focus on playing habits such as duration of practice, frequency of rest and position while playing should be developed and taught to the students, their parents, and music educators. Doctors who are interested in this area should attempt to correct the position and posture while playing of the posture. And measures for reduction of loading of instrument weight should also be developed.

Purpose: We aimed to test the validity of the EQ-5D (Euro-Quality of Life-5 Dimension), a brief and simple instrument, in measuring health related quality of life in the patients with osteoarthritis. Methods: 183 participants attending the education programs for osteoarthritis patients at the Health Centers located in Seoul and Gyunggi province area during the periods of June to December in 2009 were interviewed with the EQ-5D and KWOMAC (Korean version of Western Ontario and McMaster Scale). The data were analysed with Spearman correlation coefficents and t-test by using of SPSS/WIN 12.0 version. Results: There was a negative correlation between knee pain, stiffness and difficulty in usual activity of sub category items of KWOMAC and EQ-5Dindex, while there was no correlation between these categories and EQ-VAS. Moreover, as a result of comparing the score of physical function measured by KWOMAC according to the severity degree of the EQ-5Dindex, the group of advanced stage having moderate and severe symptoms reported significantly higher scores of physical function than those of groups having no health problems. Conclusion: The EQ-5D is an acceptable and valid instrument for measuring health-related quality of life in patients with osteoarthritis.

노화로 인한 신체조성과 혈관탄성의 변화는 심혈관질환에 위험을 증가시킨다. 하지만 리듬운동은 노인들이 쉽고 재미있게 할 수 있는 유산소 운동으로 신체조성과 혈관탄성에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것이다. 그리하여 본 연구는 고령여성 (>65 years) 대상으로 12주간 리듬운동을 실시한 후 신체조성 및 혈관탄성에 어떠한 효과를 미치는지에 관한 연구이다. 실험 참가자들 (n=20)은 무선할당 방식으로 운동집단 (n=10)과 통제집단 (n=10)으로 나누었다. 12주간에 리듬운동은 주3회 한 회당 60분으로 구성되었고 운동강도는 Borg의 운동자각도(6 - 20)에서 11-14로 설정되었다. 신체조성(근육량과 체지방량), 혈관탄성(맥파속도 (Pulse wave velocity (PWV))은 훈련 전과 후에 측정이 되었다. 연구 결과는 신체조성에서 운동집단의 골격근량 (p=0.04)이 유의하게 증가하였고 혈관탄성인 PWV에 오른쪽 (p=0.002)과 왼쪽 (p=0.02)모두 유의하게 감소하였지만 통제집단에서 골격근량과 맥파속도 (오른쪽과 왼쪽)에 유의한 변화가 없었다. 이러한 변화를 분석한 결과를 통하여 볼 때 여성노인들이 흥미를 가지고 쉽게 따라할 수 있는 리듬운동은 근육량을 증가시키고 혈관탄성에 긍정적인 효과를 주어서 근감소증의 예방과 지연 그리고 심혈관 질환의 위험성을 낮출 수 있는 매우 효과적인 운동이라 할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of diaphragmatic breathing on activation of trunk muscles of patients with low back pain. Diaphragmatic breathing may affect activation of trunk muscles. The assumptions are as follows: the crural diaphragm attatches to the lumbar vertebrae from L1 to L3, the voluntary downward pressurization of the diaphragm increases intra-abdominal pressure, and this increases the stiffness of the spine. Diaphragmatic breathing increases intra-abdominal pressure and the increased intra-abdominal pressure may contribute to the lumbar stability. Sixty patients with low back pain were randomly divided into two groups. Experimental group performed diaphragmatic breathing exercise with six breathing positions and control group performed only the breathing positions for five times per week during six weeks. % maximal voluntary contraction(% MVC) of trunk muscles on six breathing positions of experimental and control group was measured according to testing period of pre test, three weeks, and six weeks. The repeated measures of one-way ANOVA were used to analyze % MVC on trunk muscles of experimental and control group according to testing period. The results of this study were as follows: First, % MVC of right and left erector spinae in the right leg extension position indicated the statistically significant difference in experimental group which performed diaphragmatic breathing exercise rather than control group (p<0.05). Second, % MVC of right and left erector spinae in all-four positions indicated the statistically significant difference in experimental group which performed diaphragmatic breathing exercise rather than control group (p<0.05). Third, % MVC of right and left erector spinae, external oblique in the sitting position indicated the statistically significant difference in experimental group which performed diaphragmatic breathing exercise rather than control group (p<0.05). Fourth, % MVC of right and left erector spinae, external oblique in the standing position indicated the statistically significant difference in experimental group which performed diaphragmatic breathing exercise rather than control group (p<0.05). Fifth, % MVC of right and left erector spinae, external oblique in the supine position indicated the statistically significant difference in experimental group which performed diaphragmatic breathing exercise rather than control group (p<0.05). Sixth, % MVC of right and left erector spinae, external oblique in the lying on prone position indicated the statistically significant difference in experimental group which performed diaphragmatic breathing exercise rather than control group (p<0.05). In conclusion, as experimental group performed diaphragmatic breathing exercise according to the period of pre-test, post three weeks, and post six weeks, experimental group showed the greater significant effect on the activation of right, left erector spinae, and external oblique muscle. Diaphragmatic breathing exercise which resulted in activation of trunk muscles can be effective for managing the patients with back pain and should be utilized as the new therapeutic intervention.

논문에서는 인간과의 안전한 접촉이 가능한 내부형 연속체로봇에 대한 설계개념과 로봇 말단장치의 운동특성실험을 제시한다. 인간의 근육과 유사한 상극구동방식으로 작동하는 공압인공근육을 연속체로봇의 백본 및 구동장치로 사용하기 때문에, 외부환경과의 부드러운 접촉과 강한 접촉을 선택적으로 제어할 수 있는 로봇 관절에서의 가변강성이 가능하다. 그러나 내부형 연속체로봇은 백본소재의 굽힘운동을 예측하기 어렵기 때문에 로봇 말단장치에서의 자세를 추정하기 어렵다. 이를 해결하기 위해 3 축 가속도계와 3 축 자이로스코프를 이용한 칼만필터 방법을 제안하고 개발된 내부형 연속체 로봇의 자세추정에 적용하여 실제 실험을 통해서 제안된 방법의 효율성을 검증하였다.
