Purpose: This study examined the hip and lumbopelvic movement while the hip was rotating laterally in individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Methods: Sixty healthy subjects and sixty subjects with CLBP were enrolled in this study. Myomotion (Myomotion research pro, Noraxon Inc., German) was used to measure the hip lateral rotation and the lumbopelvic movement. An independent t-test was used to compare the hip lateral rotation and lumbopelvic rotation between the groups. Results: Between healthy males and females, healthy females showed a smaller hip lateral rotation angle (HLRA) than healthy males in the hip lateral rotation test (HLRT). Between the healthy females and females with CLBP, the females with CLBP showed a smaller HLRA and greater lumbopelvic motion than the healthy females in the HLRT, and their lumbopelvic motions occurred earlier during lateral rotation of the hip. Finally, between the males and females with CLBP, the females with CLBP showed a smaller HLRA and greater lumbopelvic motion in the HLRT, and their lumbopelvic motions occurred earlier during lateral rotation of the hip. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the CLBP affected the hip lateral rotation, and the lumbopelvic movement depended on gender. In particular, compared to the other groups, the females with CLBP showed a larger lumbopelvic rotation angle and smaller hip lateral rotation angle and lumbopelvic motion occurred early during lateral rotation of the hip.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to compare the ability to control postural sway during perturbation when stroke patients received postural sway induced by head rotation. Methods: This study included 15 stroke patients and 15 healthy adults. Each group was measured by 3D motion analysis for determination of the angle of the neck in static position and by balance performance monitor for estimation of swaying angle in both neutral posture and head rotation position. These results were then analyzed in order to compare the healthy control group and the stroke patients group. Results: In both static posture ($60.7{\pm}4.81$) and dynamic posture ($51.46{\pm}6.87$, $70.8{\pm}6.55$), significant decreases were observed in the angle of head rotation of the patient group, compared to the healthy group (p<0.05), and significant decreases were observed in the sway angle of the patient group when in the neutral position ($3.62{\pm}7$, $24{\pm}0.60$) and head rotation ($3.04{\pm}0.80$, $51.46{\pm}6.87$), compared to the healthy group (p<0.05). Conclusion: According to these findings, patients with stroke tend to restrict the ROM of head rotation and swaying angle in dynamic posture and maintain their posture instability using limitation of head movement relative to the trunk and sway angle of area which is larger than that of affected side in unaffected side.

Purpose：The purpose of this study was to investigate of the change of the forward head posture(FHP) according to computer using time. Methods：Subjects were 30 male and 30 female. The factors of FHP were measured cranial vertical angle, cranial rotation angle, and head, upper back, neck flexion/extension angle according to computer using time. Change of FHP used to Digital Inclinometry(JTech, Dualer IQTM Dual Inclinometer). The data were collected by data logger(Logger Teknologi HB, Akarp, Sweden). Results：Cranial vertical angle, cranial rotation angle, and head, upper back, neck flexion/extension were increased according to computer using time(p<.05). But cranial vertical angle and cranial rotation angle, and head, upper back, neck flexion/extension were not significant differences between male and female group(p>.05). Conclusion：The effects of cranial vertical angle, cranial rotation angl and head, neck and upper back angle depend on the computer task time. Increased of FHP may result increased tension in posture muscles of cervical spine, resulting in a risk of musculoskeletal disorders.

This paper presents firstly the method of Euler angle matching designing the transfer alignment using the attitude matching. In this method, the observation directly uses Euler angle difference between MINS and SINS so it needs to describe the rotation vector error to the Euler angle error. The rotation vector error related to the Euler angle error is derive from the direction cosine matrix error equation. The feasibility of the Kalman filter designed for the transfer alignment by Euler angle matching is analyzed by the alignment error results with respect to the roll angle the pitch angle, and the yaw angle matching.

Purpose: Hip rotation testing is important in the evaluation of chronic back pain. The purpose of this study was to investigate hip and lumbopelvic movement during hip medial rotation (HMR) in individuals with chronic lower back pain (CLBP). Methods: This study targeted 112 subjects in total: 28 healthy males and 28 healthy females, and 27 males with CLBP and 29 females with CLBP. Motion-capture device was used to measure the hip medial rotation angle (HMRA), lumbopelvic rotation angle (LPRA), and the rotation angle of the hip when lumbopelvic rotation starts during hip medial rotation. Results: When evaluating the healthy males and females using the hip medial rotation test (HMRT), healthy males showed a smaller HMRA than did healthy females (p<0.05). When evaluating the healthy males and the males with CLBP using the HMRT, males with CLBP showed a smaller HMRA and more lumbopelvic movements than did healthy males (p<0.05) in addition, their lumbopelvic movements occurred earlier during HMR (p<0.05). Finally, when evaluating the males and the females with CLBP using the HMRT, males with CLBP showed a smaller HMRA and more lumbopelvic movements (p<0.05), and their lumbopelvic movements occurred earlier during HMR (p<0.05). Conclusion: The HMRT is an important test for the evaluation of males, and especially males with CLBP, as they often experience an increased LPRA and decreased HMRA, with lumbopelvic movement occurring earlier during HMR when compared to other groups.

Background: The abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM), a method of lumbar stabilization training, is an effective neuromuscular intervention for lumbar instability associated with low back pain (LBP). Objects: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of a 2-week period of the ADIM and tensor fasciae latae-iliotibial band (TFL-ITB) self-stretching on lumbopelvic rotation angle, lumbopelvic rotation movement onset, TFL-ITB length, and pain intensity during active prone hip lateral rotation. Methods: Twenty-two subjects with lumbar extension rotation syndrome accompanying shortened TFL-ITB (16 males and 6 females) were recruited for this study. The subjects were instructed how to perform ADIM training or ADIM training plus TFL-ITB self-stretching program at home for a 2-week period. A 3-dimensional ultrasonic motion analysis system was used to measure the lumbopelvic rotation angle and lumbopelvic rotation movement onset. An independent t-test was used to determine between-group differences for each outcome measure (lumbopelvic rotation angle, lumbopelvic rotation movement onset, TFL-ITB length, and pain intensity). Results: The results showed that ADIM training plus TFL-ITB self-stretching decreased the lumbopelvic rotation angle, delayed the lumbopelvic rotation movement onset, and elongated the TFL-ITB significantly more than did ADIM training alone. Pain intensity was lower in the ADIM training plus TFL-ITB self-stretching group than the ADIM training alone group; however, the difference was not significant. Conclusion: ADIM training plus TFL-ITB self-stretching performed for a 2-week period at home may be an effective treatment for modifying lumbopelvic motion and reducing LBP.

일반적인 가정용 선풍기는 단 하나의 좌우 회전 구간을 갖기 때문에 회전 각도를 조절할 수 없어 불필요한 영역까지 바람이 가거나 바람이 필요한 공간에 바람이 가지 않는 구간이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 에너지 낭비를 줄이면서 필요한 공간에 선택적으로 바람을 보낼 수 있도록 회전 구간을 효율적으로 조절하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 정지 풍향각 측정 실험을 통해 최소 회전 각도를 구하였으며 최적의 회전 단계수를 선정하기 위해 바람이 도달하는 공간을 적절히 분할하였다. 이를 통해 선풍기가 45°의 최소 회전 각도와 3단계의 회전 구간을 가지면서 각 단계마다 정지 풍향각의 2배씩 회전 각도가 증가할 때 바람이 효율적으로 분배되는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서 제시한 선택적 회전 구간 조절 방법은 선풍기 구조에 큰 변형 없이 에너지 낭비를 최소화 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the measurement differences of simple radiographs according to radiation projection angle using a phantom and to propose methods for objective analysis of simple radiographs. Materials and Methods: We took simple radiographs with different projection angles using a C-arm image intensifier and measured five parameters of the foot on the simple radiographic images. Five parameters include lateral tibiocalcaneal angle, lateral talocalcaneal angle, naviculocuboid overlap, lateral talo-first metatarsal angle, and lateral calcaneo-first metatarsal angle. Intraobserver and interobserver reliability were verified, and then intraclass correlations of parameters were analyzed. Results: Radiographic parameters of the foot showed high intraobserver and interobserver reliability. Lateral tibiocalcaneal angle has a strong negative linear relationship with rotation and a moderate negative linear relationship with tilt. Lateral talocalcaneal angle has a moderate positive linear relationship with rotation and a strong positive linear relationship with tilt. Naviculocuboid overlap has a strong positive linear relationship with rotation and a moderate positive linear relationship with tilt. Lateral talo-first metatarsal angle does not have a linear relationship with rotation and a moderate negative linear relationship with tilt. Lateral calcaneo-first metatarsal angle has a moderate positive linear relationship with rotation and tilt. Conclusion: More precise evaluation of the foot with a simple radiograph can be performed by understanding the changes of radiographic parameters according to radiation projection angle.

This paper proposes a real-time approach on the rotational motion estimation and correction for the roll stabilization of the sight system. This method first estimates a rotation center by the least-mean square algorithm based on the motion vectors of some feature points. And, then, a rotation angle is searched for a best matching block between a reference block image and seccessive input images using MPC(maximum pixel count) matching criterion. Finally, motion correction is performed by the bilinear interpolation technique. Various computer simulations show that the estimation performance is good and the proposed algorithm is a real-time implementable one to the TMS320C6415(500MHz) DSP.

We have proposed and demonstrated a rotation angle sensor based on the stress -optic effect of a fused fiber coupler whose transmission spectrum is altered by the torsional stress. The peak of transmission spectrum was shifted to longer wavelength region with rotation of the coupler. The rotation angle sensor revealed reproducibility and symmetric behavior with respect to the rotation direction. The sensitivity of the sensor was 0.367 [nm/degee].
