현대인의 과로, 과음, 흡연으로 인한 근육에 스트레스를 주는 자세가 많다. 한 자세로 오래 앉아 있는 시간이 많으므로 근육통은 근육 류머티즘이나 결합 조직염, 근통증으로, 환부를 누르면 경결이 있고 아프다. 근육자체에는 병적변화가 없고 결합 조직염의 경우는 그 근육 주위에 있는 근육막이나 힘줄 신경초 등의 결합조직에 류머티즘 변화가 나타난다. 전형적인 비관절성 류머티즘이기도 하다. 과격한 운동이나 몸에 익숙지 않은 일을 무리하게 했을 경우에 볼 수 있다. 이로인해 본 연구에서는 설정된 주파수가 변화없이 지속되는 파형과 초음파 자극처리장치의 특성을 모드별 주파수 파형으로 연속모드, 10모드, 25모드, 50모드 등으로 다양하게 환자의 상태라 따라 구현이 가능하였다. 실험을 통해 초음파, 저주파장비에 대한 기초기준을 정할 수 있는 샘플을 확립 나름대로 정리하여 기준을 확립하고자 한다.

본 연구는 내리막 달리기(downhill running, DR) 후 초음파 영상분석을 이용해 대퇴사두근 무리(quadriceps group, QG) 내 근손상의 국소화 여부를 검증하고, DR 동안 운동 강도가 운동유발성 근손상(exercise-induced muscle damage, EIMD) 및 근육 반향세기 변화에 미치는 영향을 규명하려는 목적으로 수행되었다. 규칙적인 신체활동이 없는 건강한 남성 11명이 무작위 교차설계에 따라 서로 다른 강도[low-intensity DR session($50%HR_{max}$), LDR; high-intensity DR session($70%HR_{max}$), HDR]의 DR 운동을 수행하였다. DR 후 EIMD의 심각성은 혈청크레아틴 키나아제(creatine kinase, CK) 활성 수준 변화와 함께 신경근 기능 지수로서 무릎 신전근의 최대 수의적 등척성 수축(maximal voluntary isometric contraction, MVIC) 및 관절가동범위(range of motion, ROM) 변화를 통해 결정되었다. 회색조 분석을 적용한 근육 반향세기 평가는 DR에 따른 QG 내 국소 근육별(rectus femoris, RF; vastus lateralis, VL; vastus medialis, VM; vastus intermedius, VI) 손상 양상을 탐지하기 위해 활용되었다. 모든 세션에서 혈청 CK 활성 수준과 VL 및 VM의 근통증 정도는 운동 후 24시간째(RF의 경우 각각 LDR 24시간째와 HDR 48시간째) 최대에 이르렀으며, 혈청 CK 수준에서 운동 강도에 따른 유의한 차이(p<.05)가 나타난 반면 근통증에서 세션 간 통계적 차이는 없었다. 무릎 관절을 이용한 MVIC 및 ROM과 같은 신경근 기능 지표 및 VM을 제외한 모든 QG 근육 반향세기는 운동 직후 극적으로 감소 또는 증가 후 72시간까지 점진적 회복 양상을 나타내었다. 그러나 신경근 기능 지표에서 운동 강도에 따른 통계적 차이는 없었으나 RF 및 VL 반향세기에서 세션 내 및 세션 간 유의한 차이(p<.01)를 나타내었다. 본 연구의 결과로 ECC를 함유한 DR 운동 시 운동 강도는 DOMS 및 신경근 기능 지표에 부분적으로 영향을 미칠 가능성이 있으며, 특히 혈청 CK 수준과 함께 RF 및 VL의 근육 반향세기는 운동 강도의 영향을 직접적으로 반영한다는 사실을 알 수 있다. 또한, 현재 연구결과는 DR 동안 ECC를 겪는 QG 내 국소 근육 간 근손상 정도가 다를 수 있으며 초음파 근육 반향세기가 국소 근육의 EIMD 심각성을 차별화할 수 있는 유용한 평가기법임을 뒷받침하고 있다.

In this study, a novel sensor system for measuring the temperature inside an oral cavity is proposed. With this aim, a small size of thermistor was used for resolving the cavity's temperature with the resolution of $0.1^{\circ}C$. To evaluate effectiveness of our sensor system, the temperature and its output voltage characteristic, and the specifications of response are investigated. It turned out to be that our sensor system has a linear property in terms of temperature variations for a healthy subject's body temperature range and has a good response time within 3 seconds. Also, in order to investigate the medical application, our sensor system is sought to measure the real temperature variations of a subject's oral cavity and ark shell especially for 'before' and 'after' exercise mode.

In this paper, we planned to see the positive effects of the immersive virtual environment. In particular, the positive effect of presence on physical performance was explored. A total of 25 participants were recruited for this experiment and his/her physical performance was measured by Electromyography (EMG) while they were exercising (rowing), and presence was measured by a self-reported measure. The participants were randomly assigned to experience either a) Virtual Reality (VR) or b) non-VR (2D screen) condition when they played the exergame. The result showed that 1) there was a positive relationship between representation mode and presence and 2) the higher level of presence reinforced the user's physical performance. The limitation of the study and future study were also discussed.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate which treadmill walking training mode is more effective strategy for improving pulmonary function of persons with chronic stroke. METHODS: Twenty-one chronic stroke patients were allocated and randomly to an experimental group (treadmill training with randomized speed control, n=11) and a control group (treadmill training without speed change, n=10). All participants received 30 minutes of neurodevelopmental treatment. In addition, the two groups performed treadmill training for 20 minutes each time with or without speed change. Speed change was applied 40%, 50%, 60%, 70% of Heart Rate Reserve. All the exercise programs lasted six weeks, with five times per week. Pulmonary function was assessed before and after exercise program by using forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV). RESULTS: In the both groups, FEV1 was significantly increased after training (p<.05). Compared to the control group, the experimental group showed 11.9% larger amount of change (p<.05). In the experimental group, FVC and MVV were significantly increased after training (9.9%, 7.6%, respectively) (p<.05). But in the control group, there was no significant difference in the FVC and MVV after training. CONCLUSION: Treadmill training with randomized speed control will be a better positive rehabilitation program than treadmill training without speed change to improve pulmonary function in persons with chronic stroke.

To meet the increasing demand from various fishing fields for training of fishing equipment operators, a fishing winch simulator was designed to train maritime students in the correct and safe operation of hydraulic winches under various load conditions related to fishing operations. The aim of this study is to describe the basic dynamic characteristics of the newly developed hydraulic fishing winch simulator and particularly to analyze the mechanical responses produced on the winch operation controls. The winch simulator consists of two winch units, a computer control and data acquisition system, a control consol and other associated mechanisms. When one winch is in hauling mode, the other one will always be in loading mode. The revolution speed of the hauling winch was controlled by a proportional directional control valve, and the braking torque of the loading winch was controlled by a proportional pressure control valve. The simulation experiments indicated that the dynamic characteristics of the hauling winch followed the braking response characteristics of the loading winch. The tests also showed that the warp speed and tension linearly depend on the pressure differential across the motor of the loading winch controlled by operating the proportional pressure control valve during the hauling operation. The experience gained from various training courses showed that the fishing winch simulator was very realistic and it was valuable for training novice winch operators. The results of the winch simulation exercise were recorded and used to evaluate the training on the operation and handling of the winch system. From these test results, we concluded that the tension acting on the warp during hauling operations can successfully be simulated by controlling the pressure differential across the motor with step changes of the control input signal to the proportional pressure control valve of the loading winch.

Background: Physical exercise is known to cause significant joint changes. Thus, monitoring joint behavior of athletic horses is essential in early disorders recognition, allowing the proper management. Objectives: The aims of this study were to determine the morphological patterns, physical examination characteristics and ultrasound findings of show jumping horses in training and to establish a score-based examination model for physical and ultrasound follow-ups of metacarpophalangeal joint changes in these animals. Methods: A total of 52 metacarpophalangeal joints from 26 horses who were initially in the taming stage were evaluated, and the horses' athletic progression was monitored. The horses were evaluated by a physical examination and by B-mode and Doppler-mode ultrasound examinations, starting at time zero (T0), which occurred concomitantly with the beginning of training, and every 3 months thereafter for a follow-up period of 18 months. Results: The standardized examination model revealed an increase in the maximum joint flexion angles and higher scores on the physical and ultrasound examinations after scoring was performed by predefined assessment tools, especially between 3 and 6 months of evaluation, which was immediately after the horses started more intense training. The lameness score and the ultrasound examination score were slightly higher at the end of the study. Conclusions: The observed results were probably caused by the implementation of a training regimen and joint adaptation to physical conditioning. The joints most likely undergo a pre-osteoarthritic period due to work overload, which can manifest in a consistent or adaptive manner, as observed during this study. Thus, continuous monitoring of young athlete horses by physical and ultrasound examinations that can be scored is essential.

Automotive brake system is an essential element for the safety. The system is powered by the circulation of brake oil. A braker hose is used for the circulation of the oil in this system. Layout of the hose changes according to the steering and stress occur in the hose. A lot of the durability tests are performed in order to prevent serious problems such as hose bursting by the accumulation of the stress before setting an optimized hose layout on automobile. The test is conducted for the layout which is same such as set in automobile. In the test, brake hose layout shall exercise the same mode of thousands of times under the high temperature and periodic pressure condition and then the damage of the tested hose is inspected. This test, however, has a disadvantage of heavy consumption of time and money. In order to compensate for these drawbacks, the finite element method(FEM) study was performed to predict the changes in the layout of the brake hose. In this study, the FEM results and the test results were compared and the validity was verified. The radius of curvature of the FEM and test at the same positions were especially investigated for the validation. Also, this study will be used as the basis of research on the life prediction of brake hose.
