이 연구는 금속쐐기필터를 대신하여 동적쐐기필터를 사용할 수 있을지에 대한 적정성 평가에 관한 것이다. 선형가속기에서 발생되는 엑스선 에너지는 6 MV, 10 MV로 상용화되어있다. 금속쐐기필터의 $15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$에 각각 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 선량율(MU/min)로 48번 조사하였고, 동적쐐기필터와의 비교를 위해 같은 조건으로 총 96번 조사하였다. 측정조건은 선원필름간 거리 100cm, 조사면 $10{\times}10cm$ 로 측정하였다. 현상된 필름을 스캔하여 선량분석프로그램으로 교정 후 분석하였고, 표준편차를 구해 선량율을 비교하였다. 동적쐐기필터는 선량, 산란선 및 치료시간을 감소시키며, 환자에 조사되는 선량이 적어 매우 유용하다. 동일한 조건에서 선량율에 따른 오차는 연관성이 없으므로 환자의 상황에 따라 고선량율의 치료를 사용하는 것도 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

Rigorous formulation for solving the scattered fields by a lossy dielectric wedge is proposed. By employing the Kirchhoff's integrals in the physical domain and the extinction theorem in the mathematically complementary region, it is shown that the accurate solution is obtained by adding the numerically corrected fields generated by the multipole source expansions to the analytically approximated physical optics solution. Its accuracy is affirmed by the extinction behavior of the solution in the complementary region.

This paper, the last part of these three companion papers treated the electromagnetic diffraction by a dielectric wedge, presents the correction to the physical optics approcomation by the sheet currents of the Neumann expansion. Those expansion coefficients obtained by solving dual series equation amenable to simple numerical calculation may provide the asymprotically corrected solution. The validity of this result, satisfying both the edge condition near the tip of the dielectric wedge and the boundary condition along dielectric interfaces, is assured by approach of the corrected diffraction pattern to that of a perfectly conducting wedge for large permittivity of dielectric wedge.

Objective: Generally, it is known that there is a correlation between excessive calcaneus eversion and a patient with low back pain and it also affects pelvic alignment. However, there are not enough studies that show calcaneal eversion having an effect on the alignment of the trunk. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: A 3-dimensional motion analysis system was used to assess the lower limbs, pelvic alignment, and trunk alignment with increased unilateral and bilateral calcaneal eversion in twenty-one subjects. All subjects were asked to maintain a static posture for seven seconds on a wedge three times per posture for measurement and analysis purposes. The wedge used in the process was a lateral wedge with a 10-degree tilt to the lateral direction. To unify all of the subjects' foot position, the front and inner side of the wedge were marked. The height of the tilted wedge's inner side and flat wedge were balanced equally in order to be able to maintain the lateral part of the foot to the same height when producing an increased calcaneal eversion. Results: Comparing the changes in trunk and pelvic alignment in accordance to calcaneal eversion for each posture, there was a significant different in the X and Y-axis for each posture, but not in the Z-axis (p<0.05). Thus, it can be confirmed that calcaneal eversion in the sagittal plane and frontal plane may have and effect on the pelvis and the trunk. Conclusions: Postures with increased bilateral and unilateral calcaneal eversion has an effect on pelvic alignment, but does not cause any changes in trunk alignment.

기하 광학(GO)의 반복에 의한 회절파 계산을 제안하였다. 쐐기형 산란체에 전원이 주어졌을때, 그 GO해는 반공간 문제의 해에 명암 경계를 결정하여 얻어진다. 또한, 이러한 GO해의 명암경계를 따라 나타나는 불연소계와 등가인 전원을 계산하여 이를 그 전원으로 하는 새로운 쐐기문제를 생각할 수 있다. 이때, 이 등가전원 문제의 해가 바로 GO해가 필료로 하는 회절파와 같음을 보였다. 또한, 등가전원이 무한공간에서 만드는 파 즉 새로운 쐐기문제이 입사파는 물리광학으로 계산한 회절파와 같은 것임을 보였다. 새로운 쐐기문제에 다시 GO를 적용하여 회절파에 대한 하나의 근사해를 얻었으며 이것을 물리광학에 의한 것과 비교하였다. 또한, 이와 같은 GO반복 적용의 타당성을 보기 위하여 정확한 해가 이미알려져 있는 완전도체쐐기의 GO무한 반복해를 구하여 그 수렴여부를 살폈다.

The prevalence of knee osteoarthritis was higher people with lower limb amputation. This was identified that transfemoral amputees have a greater external knee adduction moment than ablebodied subjects by biomechanical studies. Therefore, they need rehabilitative intervention for prevention and reduction of knee osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of lateral wedge insole used in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. This study was participated in fourteen unilateral transfemoral amputees and we were analyzed the difference gait variables between without lateral wedge insole and with $5^{\circ}$ and $10^{\circ}$ lateral wedge insole during gait. Our results showed that step length ratio was more symmetrical and, hip adduction and ankle inversion angle were more close to normal value, and knee adduction moment was decreased as the wedge angle increases. We proposed that these data would be utilized conservative treatment of knee osteoarthritis in lower limb amputees.

Foot posture is important in the development of the musculoskeletal structure in the lower limbs because it can change the mechanical alignment. Although foot orthotics are widely used for the correction of malalignments in the lower extremities, the biomechanical effects of wedges have not yet been cleared. The aim of this study was to investigate whether medial wedges affect the electromyographic (EMG) activity of the knee and hip joints in healthy adults that are performing one leg standing. Seventeen healthy volunteers performed the one leg standing under two foot conditions: A level surface, and a $15^{\circ}$ medial wedge. The subjects' EMG data for the gluteus maximus (Gmax), gluteus medius (Gmed), tensor fasciae latae (TFL), biceps femoris (BF), vastus lateralis (VL), and vastus medialis oblique (VMO) were recorded, along with the surface EMG, and all were analyzed. The EMG activity of the Gmed and TFL had significantly decreased under the medial wedge condition during one leg standing. Further study is needed in order to investigate whether medial wedges influence the EMG activity and kinematic data of the knee and hip joints as well as the ankle joints in adults with flexible flatfoot, while they are performing one leg standing.
