The objective of this study was to identify the effects of weight-transfer training on the weight bearing distribution and gait patterns of hemiplegic patients through visual and auditory feedback using a limb load monitor. The subjects of this study were 18 hemiplegic patients who had been hospitalized or were visited out-patient department of the Rehabilitation Hospital, College of Medicine, Yonsei University, from January 5, 1995 through March 15, 1995. Pre-and post-training changes in gait patterns were measured using ink foot prints as well as by recording weight bearing distribution using a limb load monitor. The data were analyzed by the repeated measure one-way ANOVA and paired t-test. The finding were as follows: 1. Prior to the training, 18 subjects bore more weight on the sound leg(61.6 %) than on the affected leg(38.4 %). 2. Posterior to the training, the average percentage of weight bearing on the affected leg increased significantly from 38.4 % prior to training; to 46.0 % immediately after training; 45.7 % after a 30 second delay; and 45.3 % after a 60 second 3. The difference in gait patterns between pre- and post- training was statistically significant, with an increase in gait velocity to 3.65 cm/sec post-training; an increase in stride length to 5.37 cm on the affected side; 4.77 cm on the sound side; and a narrowing of the base of support to 1.19 cm. In conclusion, hemiplegic weight-transfer training using visual and auditory feedback with a limb load monitor was found to be enhancing symmetrical standing posture, and simultaneously improve gait patterns.

고정노드 2개를 사용하는 이변측위 방법은 건물이나 선박의 복도와 같은 좁은 공간에서 실시간 실내위치인식 시스템 분야에 사용되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 공간에서 고정노드 간 거리가 멀어지거나 장애물이 있을 경우 위치정보 수신율 저하로 인하여 이동노드(사용자)의 위치 추정이 어렵게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 문제를 보완하기 위하여 IEEE 802.15.4a Chirp 신호를 기반으로 사용자에게 부착된 센서를 통하여 위치를 계산할 수 있는 보폭 측정 알고리즘을 이용하는 새로운 실시간 실내위치인식 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 시스템은 다리길이 측정을 위한 초음파센서, 사용자의 방향을 인식하는 지자기 센서 및 다리사이 각을 획득하기 위한 관성센서로 구성된다. 실험 결과 제안한 시스템은 통신도달성이 결여된 구간에서 기존 실내위치인식 방법에 비해 2배 이상 정교한 결과를 나타내었다.

통발과 자망 등에 어획되는 게류의 측면적인 보행운동은 매우 특이하여 어획 메카니즘을 밝히는데 매우 중요한 요소가 된다. 여기서는 해운대 동백섬의 조간대에서 채집한 풀게를 사용하여 망지위에서의 직선적인 운동과 회전 운동 등을 관찰하고 다리의 보행위치와 시간적인 변화를 분석하였다. 그 결과 망지위에서의 보행운동은 착지위치에 따라 그물코 사이로 다리가 빠지게 되는 불규칙적인 움직임이 대부분이므로 여러가지 보행 요인들의 편차가 게의 크기에 관계 없이 크게 나타났다. 풀게의 망지위에서의 보폭, 보행속도, 다리간의 위상차 등은 평면에서 보다 훨씬 작았으나, 보행주기, 다리마디간의 각도 등은 평면에서 보다 양간 증가하였다. 따라서 게가 자망에 걸리는 현상은 게의 크기에 따른 다리의 보행운동과 망지의 망목크기 등을 고려하여 세밀하게 조사되어야 할 것이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of electroacupuncture(EA) and transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation(TENS) after sciatic nerve crush injury in rats. Methods: The EA for experimental group I (Exp I, n=15) and TENS for experimental group II (Exp II, n=15) was applied from post-injury day(PD) 1 to PD 14 after sciatic nerve injury using low frequency stimulator that gave electrical stimulation(15min/60Hz). In order observe the effect of EA and TENS, this study examined GAP-43 expression in rat lumbar spinal cord at the PD 1, PD 7 and PD 14. In addition, the stride length(SL) and toe out angle(TOA) were measured at the PD 7 and PD 4. Results; Exp I and Exp II had higher GAP-43 immunoreactivity than control group(PD 1, 7, 14). The SL of Exp I and Exp II were significantly higher than control group(PD 7, 14). The TOA of Exp I and Exp II were significantly lower than control group(PD 7, 14). Conclusion: EA and TENS application increased motor nerve recovery and expression of GAP-43 immunoreactivity after sciatic nerve crush injury. Therefore effect of TENS and EA had similar effect on nerve regeneration and functional recovery.

본 연구는 발의 피로와 통증을 줄이고 발의 정상적인 기능을 유지해주는 기능적 인솔 적용 유무가 노인 보행 시 하지의 생체 역학적 변인 및 패턴에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 대상자는 10명(연령, 73.2 세: 신장, 152.1 cm: 체중, 59.4 kg)이며, 기능적 인솔 착용과 비 착용 시의 보행을 분석하였다. 보행분석은 퀄리시스 시스템 (Qualisys system)으로 촬영 후 비쥬얼 3D (Visual-3D)로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 기능적 인솔을 착용했을 경우, 보장과 유각기 속도가 유의미하게 증가하였다 (p<.05). 또한 하지의 신전 모멘트가 입각기에서 유의미하게 증가하였다 (p<.05). 본 연구 결과 기능적 인솔은 노인의 보행 안정성을 향상시는 효과가 있었다. 그러나 이 연구의 결과를 일반화하기 위해서는 더 많은 대상자들을 통해 보다 많은 정량적 자료를 축적할 필요가 있으며, 대상자들에게 오랜 시간동안 인솔을 사용하게 한 후 보행변인 및 패턴의 변화를 검토하는 연구가 추후 이뤄져야 할 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of FES and ankle mobilization on the ankle motion and the quality of gait of chronic hemiplegic patients with limited ankle joint motions. As research subjects, 24 chronic hemiplegic patients who could walk independently, regardless of assistive aids, were selected. Then, 8 subjects received mobilization randomly and 8 subjects received FES and 8 subjects received mobilization and FES, at the same time. The dorsiflexion PROM significantly increased in the group of mobilization therapy, mobilization and FES all together(p<.01). There were statistically significant differences among the three groups(p<.01). The 10m walking test significantly decreased in the group of mobilization therapy, mobilization and FES all together(p<.05). There were statistically significant differences among the three groups(p<.01). The gait velocity significantly increased in the group of mobilization therapy, FES therapy, mobilization and FES all together(p<.05). There were statistically significant differences among the three groups(p<.01). The stride length significantly increased in the group of mobilization therapy, mobilization and FES all together(p<.05). There were statistically significant differences among the three groups(p<.05). In conclusion, these findings demonstrate that rather than only using one treatment technique, applying mobilization and FES together brings a more satisfactory result to hemiplegic patients with limited ankle joint motions.

본 연구는 다운증후군을 가진 아동($9{\sim}12$세) 9명을 대상으로 12주간의 근력, 평형성, 보행 동작 훈련이 보행과 관련된 운동학적 특성에 미치는 효과를 규명하는 것이다. 근력, 평형성, 보행의 변화를 관찰하기 위해서 훈련이 시작되어 12주가 경과한 시점에서 사전 검사와 동일한 방법으로 보행의 운동학적 변인을 측정하였다. 보행의 운동학적 특성은 3차원 영상분석법을 통하여 산출하였다. 12주간의 근력, 평형성, 보행훈련 후에 골반의 회전이 감소하였으며, 무릎과 엉덩 관절의 굴곡이 증가하였으며, 다리를 스윙할 때 엉덩관절의 외전이 감소하였다. 또한, 분당 보폭 수가 증가하였으며 보폭은 감소하였다. 결론적으로 다운증후군 아동들은 12주간의 근력, 평형성, 보행훈련 후에 보행의 운동학적 변인이 향상되었다.
