PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of different external loads on the muscle activities around the hip during prone hip extension with knee flexion (PHEKF) exercise in healthy young men. METHODS: Sixteen healthy adult males participated in the study. A pressure biofeedback unit was used to provide feedback to the participants during the abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) with PHEKF. Sandbags (0 kg, 1 kg, 2 kg, and 3 kg) were used to provide external resistance. The quadriceps was contracted to maintain knee flexion 90° against resistance. Each resistance condition using a sandbag weight was given in random order. Surface electromyography (sEMG) was used to measure the electrical activity of the gluteus maximus, biceps femoris, and erector spinae during PHEKF. RESULTS: The muscle activity of the gluteus maximus was highest with the 3 kg resistance and lowest with 0 kg (F = 128.46, P = .00). The muscle activities of the biceps femoris and erector spinae were highest with 0 kg and lowest with 3 kg (F = 29.49, P = .00). The muscle activity rate of the gluteus maximus/biceps femoris was highest with 3 kg and lowest with 0 kg (F = 37.49, P = .00). CONCLUSION: The activity of the gluteus maximus was increased using a higher external weight load during PHEKF, while the activity of the biceps femoris decreased. These findings suggest that an external weight is needed during hip extensor exercise to strengthen the gluteus maximus and inhibit the biceps femoris.

The purpose of this study is to identify the kind, the frequency, and the type of Stress Management Program(SMPs) throughout life-span used foreign, recent research. The period of this study was from July 1 to Dec. 10, 1997. The data were collected through Medline using two concepts: stress management programs and life-span. The number of these research were 106 and thirty-one experimental researches that were tested the effectiveness of SMPs throughout life span were selected. The data were analysed by the kind, frequency, and life-span. The results were as follows: 1. The kind and frequency of SMP : The total number of the kind of SMP were twenty-two. The most used SMP was relaxation therapy, 22 out of 31. The second biofeedback was 10, the third, cognitive behavior program was 9, the fourth, nutrition and diet, and education were 7. The others were coping skill(4), cognitive therapy(4), breathing(4), imagery(3), autogenic training(3), sleep and rest(2), meditation(2), information(2), desensitization(2), hypnosis(2), behavior therapy(1), time management (1), visualization(I), yoga(I), diversion(1), and problem solving skill. 2. Throughout life-span: Most SMPs were applied to adolescents, young adults, and middle-adults. Other subjects could not be found under the schooler. 3. The type of SMPs : 28(90.3%) out of 31 research used combined-SMP : two-combined SMP, 5: three-combined SMP, twelve: four-combined SMP, seven: five-combined SMP. 4. Afterward, further study such as meta-analysis are needed in order to identify effective ness of the SMPs.

소뇌 운동실조는 점차 진행되는 신경퇴행질병이며 운동 조절을 위한 기능의 상실을 동반하기에 환자의 삶을 심각하게 저하시킨다. 소뇌 운동실조 환자는 운동제어 과정에서 부적절한 폐회로 소뇌 반응으로 인해 운동 명령이 제한된다. 본 논문에서는 최근 뇌-컴퓨터 인터페이스 기술을 이용하여 소뇌의 이상으로 인한 운동실조 환자들이 외부기기를 제어할 수 있도록 운동상상 기반의 뇌파의 특성을 분석하고 이를 이용한 뇌-컴퓨터 인터페이스 기법을 제안한다. 뇌파 기반의 뇌-컴퓨터 인터페이스의 효용성을 검증하기 위하여 소뇌 운동실조 환자와 정상인 그룹에서 운동상상에 따른 뮤밴드 파워를 조절하는 능력을 비교하였다. 이를 통하여 소뇌 운동실조 환자에의 뇌-컴퓨터 인터페이스의 가능성을 보여준다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a three dimensional balance trainer in combination with a video-game system and visual feedback on balance recovery and gait function in subacute stroke patients. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: Twenty-three subacute stroke patients were assigned to either an experimental (n=12) or a control group (n=11) using a random permuted block design and sealed envelopes. The experimental group received additional 3-dimensional balance training combined with visual feedback and a game program for 30 min/day, 5 days/week for 4 weeks. Both groups received 30-min of conservative physical therapy sessions based on neurodevelopmental therapy. Before and after the 20 sessions, walking abilities were evaluated by the the GaitRite system and balances were evaluated using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). The Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) was used to assess trunk muscle performances. Results: After the 4-week intervention, BBS and TIS scores were significantly increased in both groups (p<0.05), and increases in these scores were significantly greater in the experimental group (p<0.05). After the 4-week intervention, gait speed and cadence were significantly increased in both groups (p<0.05), and as was observed for BBS and TIS scores, changes of gait speed and cadence were significantly greater in the experimental group (p<0.05). Conclusions: The study shows that the 3-dimensional balance trainer combined with visual biofeedback and a video-game system provides a therapeutic means for improving balance and gait ability in subacute stroke patients.

본 연구는 전방머리자세와 턱관절 장애 및 정량적 턱관절의 체성감각의 상관관계를 알아보고자 연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구는 대상자 선정요구를 충족한 62명의 대상자(22.15±2.56세)을 대상으로 전방머리자세에 대한 중재 후 전방머리 자세 변화에 따른 턱관절 기능 및 체성감각의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 전방머리자세에 대한 중재는 바이오피드백 훈련을 실시하였으며, 주 3회 총 4주간 총 12회 진행되었다. 전방머리자세를 평가하기 위하여 머리-척추각을 검사하였으며, 턱관절 기능은 입 벌림과 좌, 우측 치우침을 검사 하였고, 체성감각의 변화를 확인하기 위하여 진동역치감각을 측정하였다. 연구결과 머리 척추각의 변화에 따른 턱관절 기능(p<0.001) 및 체성감각(p<0.001)의 변화는 모두 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 연구 결과 전방머리자세와 턱관절 기능 및 체성감각에 유의한 상관관계를 보였으며, 본 연구를 기반으로 턱관절 장애로 고통 받고 있는 환자들에게 턱관절 치료에 새로운 패러다임을 제공 할 수 있을 것이며, 향후 턱관절의 치료에 대한 기초 자료로 제공 될 수 있을 것이다.
