Debonding of cement-femoral stem interface has been suggested as a initial focus of loosening mechanism in many previous studies of cemented total hip replacement. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of debonding of cement-femoral stem interface to the bone-cement interface by using three-dimensional non-liner finite element analysis. Three cases of partial debonded, full debonded, full bonded cement-bone interface were modelled with partial bonding of distal 70mm from the tip of femoral stem. Each situation was studied under loading stimulating one-leg stanced gait of 68kg patient. The results showed that under partial and full debonded cement-stem interface condition the peak von Mises stress(3.1 MPa) were observed at the cement of bone-cement interface just under the calcar of proximal medial of femur, and sudden high peak stresses(3.5MPa) were developed at the distal tip of femoral stem at the lateral bone-cement interface in all 3 cases of bonding. The stresses were transfered very little to the cement of upper lateral bone-cement interface in partial and full debonded cases. Thus, once partial or full debonded cement-femoral stem interface occured, 3 times higher stress concentration were developed on the cement of proximal medial bone-cement interface than full bonded interface, and these could cause loosening of cemented total hip replacement. Clinically, preservation of more rigid cement-femoral stem interface may be important factor to prevent loosening of femoral stem.

A new type of electrogoniometer to measure the three dimensional motion of the human knee joint was developed. This instrument is composed of six potentiometers: four arranged for two universal joints, one for pin joint, and one for axial rotation measurement. The voltage change in six potentiometers were collected through A/D converter for acquisition, storage and analysis. With a developed instrument, gait analysis was performed. Compared to earlier developed triaxial type goniometer, new instrument shows its convenience in application and accuracy in measurement.

In this study, 26 normal subjects were studied to compare the biomechanical Analysis of Lower Limbs on Speed of Nordic Walking. The biomechanical variables were determined by performing three-dimensional gait analysis, and the measurements items were spatial and temporal parameters; vertical ground reaction force; and moments of the hip, knee, and ankle joints. The purpose of this study based on the speed of Nordic Walking to the vertical ground reaction force and joint moments of each were analyzed. Nordic Walking with poles while being whether this weight is reduced to load, not the improvement of muscle activity by identify Nordic walking is to allow efficient. The results of the analysis were follows. The spatial parameters of step length, stride length significantly increased with increase in velocity(p<0.001). The temporal parameters of step time, stride time, the duration of double support use, and the duration of single support use also significantly decreased with increase in velocity(p<0.001), but cadence significantly increased(p<0.01). Analysis of the changes in ground reaction force revealed that vertical ground reaction force significantly increased at the initial contact and the terminal stance and decreased at the mid stance with increase in velocity(p<0.001). Moments of the hip and knee joints significantly in creased with increase in velocity whereas that of the ankle joint did not. Gait analysis revealed that weight-bearing decreased and moments of the hip and knee joints increased with increase in velocity(p<0.01). The results of this study may help people perform Nordic walking efficiently and Nordic walking can be used in the gait training of people with an abnormal gait.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the smoothness of the gait pattern according to shoe, walking speed, and slope. Eleven male university students used three types(running shoes, mounting climbing boots, elevated forefoot walking shoes) of shoes at various walking speeds(1.19, 1.25, 1.33, 1.56, 1.78, 1.9, 2.0, 2.11, 2.33m/s) and gradients (0, 3, 6, 10%) on a treadmill. Three-dimensional motion analysis (Motion Analysis Corp, Santa Rosa, CA, USA) was conducted with 4 Falcon high speed cameras. The results showed that elevated forefoot walking shoes had the lowest value of normalized jerk at the heel, which means that elevated forefoot walking shoes had the smoothest walking pattern at the heel. In contrast, elevated forefoot walking shoes had greater normalized jerk at the center of mass (COM) at most walking speeds, which means that the smoothness of gait pattern at the center of mass is the lowest for the elevated forefoot walking shoes. This movement at the COM might even have a beneficial effect of activating muscles in the back and abdomen more than other shoes.

Many factors affect foot and ankle biomechanics during walking, including gait speed and anthropometric characteristics. However, speed has not been taken into account in foot kinematics and kinetics during walking. This study examined the effect of walking speed on foot joint motion and peak plantar pressure during the walking phase. Eighty healthy subjects (40 men, 40 women) were recruited. Maximal dorsiflexion and excursion were measured at the first metatarsophalangeal joints during walking phase at three different cadences (80, 100, and 120 step/min) using a three dimensional motion analysis system (CMS70P). At the same time, peak plantar pressure was investigated using pressure distribution platforms (MatScan system) under the hallux heads of the first, second, and third metatarsal bones and heel. Maximal dorsiflexion and excursion and excursion at the ankle joint decreased significantly with increasing walking speed. Peak plantar pressure increased significantly under the heads of the first of the first, second, and third metatarsal bones, and heel with increasing walking speed: three was no change under the hallux. There were no significant changes in maximal dorsiflexion or excursion at the first metatarsophalangeal joint. The results show that walking speed should be considered when comparing gait parameters. The results also suggest that slow walking speeds may decrease forefoot peak plantar pressure in patients with peripheral neuropathy who have a high risk of skin breakdown under the forefoot.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to verify the relationships among the knee adduction moment, hip rotation range, strength of hip rotators, and Foot Posture Index of healthy young adults. Method : Thirty-two healthy adults(24 male, 8 females) participated in this study. Subjects performed 5 walking trials to evaluate the knee adduction moments using a three-dimensional motion analysis system. Hip rotation ranges and hip rotator strengths were measured using a standard goniometer and a handheld dynamometer, respectively. The mean of three trials of clinical tests was used for data analysis. Results : The first peak knee adduction moment was significantly correlated with the hip rotation ranges and hip rotator strengths (P<.05). The second peak knee adduction moment was showed significant correlations with hip external rotation and rotation ratio. There were no correlations between Foot Posture Index and all knee adduction moments (P>.05). Conclusion : This study suggests that imbalances of the range of motion and strength of the internal and external rotation of the hip joint can affect knee adduction moments. The impact may exacerbate musculoskeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis of the knee. Therefore, further studies should be conducted to evaluate the effects of clinical interventions to correct these imbalances on the reduction of the knee adduction moments in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Average Coordinate Reference System (ACRS) 방법은 인체 보행 분석 시 발생하는 실험오타를 줄이기 위해서 개발되었다. 실험적으로 측정되어지는 운동학 데이터가 인체 모델링 분석을 수행하기 위해서 사용되어지며. 그 모델의 정확성은 그 측정된 데이터에 직접적인 연관 관계가 있다. 그러나, 인체가 보행하는 동안에 피부의 움직임과 골격구조의 변형이 발생하고 또한 운동 분석 실험장비 자체가 가지고 있는 여러 가지의 한계 때문에. 그 실험 데이터에 정확도는 의문시되어 진다 개발된 ACRS 방법은. 인체 운동분석을 수행하는 여러 종류의 시스템에 적용할 수 있는데. 본 연구에서는 ACRS 방법을 광학적으로 추적이 되는 표적을 인체의 각 세그멘트에 붙인 시스템에 적용하였다 ACRS 방법에서는. 각 세그멘트에 붙어있는 각각의 표적들이 독립적으로 그 세그멘트 안에서 국부좌표계의 원점으로 취급되어질 수 있다. 실험 과정에서 발생하는 본래부터의 오타 때문에. 각 원점에서 계산된 Euler angle은 서로 상이한 값을 갖는다 실험 초기에 측정한 보정 세그멘트 기준 프레임의 지식을 이용하면, 각 표적 위치에서 계산된 Euler angles들의 평균값을 계산할수 있고, 그 평균값은 피부의 확장과 회전의 영향을 최소화한 값이다. 운동분석에 일반적으로 적응되는 Euler angle 방법과 개발된 ACRS 방법을 비교하여 보면. ACRS 방법을 사용하였을 때 오차가 줄어들었다 만약에, 보행 실험 데이터에 오타가 존재하지 않는다면, 절대좌표계를 사용한 무릎 관절의 분리와 관통된 거리는 일회 보행구간 동안에 제로가 될 것으로 생각된다. 일반적으로 적용되는 Euler angle 방법을 적용하였을 때, 분리와 관통된 거리는 약 18 mm 가지 분포가 되었고, 개발된 ACRS 방법을 사용하였을 시에는 약 12 mm 까지 분포가 되었다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare kinematics on lower limbs between stair walking with high heel and barefoot in healthy adult women. Methods: 18 healthy adult women were recruited in this study. The subjects performed stair ascent and descent with high heels and barefoot. The experiment was conducted in random order and repeated three times for each stair walking with high heels and barefoot. The movements of lower limb joints were measured and analyzed using a three-dimensional analysis system. Results: The ankle, knee, and hip flexion angles on the sagittal plane exhibited statistically significant differences between stair ascent and descent with high heels and barefoot. The pelvic forward tilt angles showed statistically significant differences only during stair ascent. The ankle inversion, hip abduction and pelvic lateral tilt angles on the frontal plane showed statistically significant differences between stair walking with high heels and barefoot. On the transverse plane, the hip rotation angles showed statistically significant differences between the high-heeled and barefoot gait during stair ascent and descent. However, the pelvic rotation angles showed no statistically significant differences. Conclusion: Therefore, wearing high-heeled shoes during stair walking in daily life is considered to influence lower limb kinematics due to the high heel, and thus poses the risks of pain, and low stability and joint damage caused by changes in the movement of lower limb joints.
