Purpose: The purpose of this study is to review health-care program using the recent robotic horse-riding technology and its clinical effects for chronic low back pain. Research design, data and methodology: Recent clinical articles were determined under three inclusion criteria for in-depth review: 1) article that is published within 1 year, 2) article that includes the detailed explanation of health-care program using robotic horse-riding, 3) the article that deals with chronic low back pain during more than 6 months. Results: As a result, the finally-determined two articles demonstrated the clinical effects of robotic horse-riding statistically on pain intensity, low back muscle strength, spinal alignment, and fear-avoidance belief. Conclusions: After in-depth review, I concluded that health-care program using robotic horse-riding for chronic low back pain needs to be provided at low-intensity (e.g. less than 6km/h horse walking program) in the beginning of health-care for improving their motor control ability, then, at the increased intensity for strengthening core muscles.

Horse riding is widely recognized as a valuable form of education, exercise and therapy. But, the injuries observed in horse riding range from very minor injuries to fatalities. In order to reduce these injuries, the effective horseback riding simulator is required. In this paper, we proposed the implementation method of horse gait and riding aids for horseback riding robot simulator HRB-1. For implementation of horse gait to robot simulator, we gathered and modified real motion data of horse. We obtained two main frequencies of each gait by frequency analysis, and then simple sinusoidal functions are acquired by genetic algorithm. In addition, we developed riding aids system including hands, leg, and seat aids. With the help of a developed robotic system, beginners can learn the skill of real horse riding without the risk of injury.

최근 스크린 골프와 같이 실내에서 가상현실과 결합하여 운동을 즐길 수 있는 다양한 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 승마는 비싼 경제적 비용 외에도 승마기술의 습득이 쉽지 않고 위험한 운동으로 대중화 보급에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 연구에서는 병렬 로봇 기구에 기반한 승마로봇 플랫폼을 개발하고 가상현실과 결합하여 실제와 유사한 승마감을 체험할 수 있도록 하였다. 전문가의 승마자세를 기반으로 일반 승마자의 체위를 교정할 수 있도록 비전센서를 탑재하여 모션 캡처 처리를 하였으며 말의 보법에 기반하여 승마 난이도를 체험할 수 있도록 하였다. 개발된 승마로봇을 이용하면 전천후로 승마를 즐길 수 있으며 체계적인 승마교육에도 사용될 수 있어 승마 스포츠의 확산을 위해 널리 사용될 수 있다.
