This research sought to analyze the characteristics of breast movement at the treadmill activity levels. It also examined the effect of wearing a sports bra in reducing breast displacement. The subjects for the data collection were females in their 20s (n=2) with C-cup size breast. The experimental conditions were three different moving speeds (4 km/h, jogging: 7 km/h, and sprinting: 10 km/h) and two types of sports bras. Three dimensional breast displacement was measured. The displacement of the right nipple point was measured with a 3D motion analyzer. The results show that the breasts were greatly displaced from the walking speed (4 km/h) when subjects did not wear any bra. Whereas their breast displacement distance decreased remarkably when they wore sports bras. The nipple point moved 42~44 mm in the vertical direction at walking speed with naked condition. But it was reduced by 80% after wearing sports bras. When subjects running (7 km/h, 10 km/h) without any bra, the nipple point moved 122~141 mm. However it was reduced by 60~70% when they wore sports bras. The apartment time (time delay) between at the highest point of the upper body and the nipple was 0.25 seconds at the running speeds (7 km/h, 10 km/h) without wearing any bra. After wearing sports bras, the time delay was cut to 0.06~0.12 seconds. These results implies that without wearing any bra the skin surrounding the breasts might be seriously pulled at running activity. The functional sports bra suppress breast movement. It might prevent the sagging of breasts by preventing the damage of the Cooper's ligaments.

환승은 대중교통의 대표적인 취약점으로 꼽히는 불편함으로, 대중교통의 경쟁력을 약화시키는 요소이다. 이에 환승으로 인한 불편함 중 개선가능한 요소들을 체계적이고 효과적으로 개선하기 위하여 환승시설 및 환승체계의 물리적 요소들에 대한 보행자 편의성을 계량화하여 환승역사의 환승 편의성에 대한 객관적 평가기준을 마련하고자 한다. 본 연구는 특히 KTX 역사 및 철도 역사를 대상으로 지역간 통행에 있어서 환승역사의 물리적 특성이 환승수단의 선택에 미치는 영향을 파악하고 그 과정에서 환승저항 모형을 구축하였다. 또한 이를 바탕으로 국내 주요 KTX역사 및 철도역사 환승시설을 대상으로 환승저항값을 산정하여 비교하였다. KTX 역사와 철도역사의 물리적 요소들 중 환승 의사결정에 유의하게 영향을 미치는 요소는 환승패스의 외부보행거리, 환승패스의 내부보행거리, 계단 수, 에스컬레이터 수로 동일하게 나타났으나 환승저항 요소의 상대적 크기에 있어서는 차이가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 에스컬레이터 1대는 약 1~3분의 체감시간 절감 효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 산출된 환승저항 모형은 환승역사별 시설여건을 비교하고 시설개선의 우선순위를 판단하는 데에 객관적 지표로 활용될 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the immediate effects of using the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) contract-relax technique in the close kinetic chain position on the gait ability and gastrocnemius muscle tone of stroke patients. Methods: The subjects were patients who had strokes due to cerebrum infarction and hemorrhage. The subjects participated in exercise with the PNF contract-relax technique in the standing-on-elbow position with a high table, and the affected lower leg was placed in the posterior position. The PNF contract-relax technique was applied at the position in which the ankle plantar-flexors were in a sufficiently elongated position. After performing twice in each range, while the muscle was elongated, the affected side was moved further back and a new range was set. In each session, the time of contraction was set to 8 seconds, and the resting time was set to 5 seconds; however, if the patient felt tired, they received more resting time during the intervention. The Myoton Pro and 10 m walking test were used to measure the muscle tone and gait ability both pre- and post-intervention. Results: After participating in the program, the muscle tone decreased and the gait ability improved in the ankle plantar-flexors, as determined by the Myoton Pro and 10 m walking test. Conclusion: The PNF contract-relax technique can help to decrease muscle tone in ankle plantar-flexors with hypertonus and increase the gait ability in stroke patients.

본 연구는 정상인에게 스마트 신발을 착용 시킨 후, 6분 보행검사와 일어나 걸어가기 검사를 실시하여 연구자가 측정한 데이터와 스마트 신발 센서 데이터가 동일 및 유사한지 확인 하고자 하였다. 정상 성인 남성 10명으로 진행을 하였으며 스마트 신발을 착용 한 후 6분 보행검사와 일어나 걸어가기 검사를 실시하여 데이터를 분석 하였다. 본 실험의 결과를 보았을 때 현재 센서의 정확도는 높은 편으로 보여 진다. 6분 보행검사의 거리에 차이가 나타난 것은 실제 30m 트랙에서 계산하지 않는 반환점도 거리를 측정하기 때문에 차이가 나타난 것으로 보인다. 이러한 관점에서 보았을 때 스마트 신발이 좀 더 정확한 거리를 측정 하였다고 볼 수가 있으며 추후 스마트 센서를 통한 다양한 검사가 가능 할 것으로 보여 진다.

Purpose : The study aims to determine the effects of virtual and non-virtual realities in a normal person's mirror walk on gait characteristics. Methods : Twenty male adults (Age: 27.8 ± 5.8 years) participated in the study. Reflection markers were attached to the subjects for motion analysis, and they walked in virtual reality environments with mirrors by wearing goggles that showed them the virtual environments. After walking in virtual environments, the subjects walked in non-virtual environments with mirrors a certain distance away after taking a 5 min break. To prevent the order effect caused by the experiential difference of gait order, the subjects were randomly classified into groups of 10 and the order was differentiated. During each walk, an infrared camera was used to detect motion and the marker positions were saved in real time. Results : Comparison between the virtual and non-virtual reality mirror walks showed that the movable range of the leg joints (ankle, knee, and hip joints), body joints (sacroiliac and atlantoaxial joints), and arm joints (shoulder and wrist joints) significantly differed. Temporal characteristics showed that compared to non-virtual gaits, the virtual gaits were slower and the cycle time and double limb support time of virtual gaits were longer. Furthermore, spacial characteristics showed that compared to non-virtual gaits, virtual gaits had shorter steps and stride lengths and longer stride width and horizontally longer center of movement. Conclusion : The reduction in the joint movement in virtual reality compared to that in non-virtual reality is due to adverse effects on balance and efficiency during walking. Moreover, the spatiotemporal characteristics change based on the gait mechanisms for balance, exhibiting that virtual walks are more demanding than non-virtual walks. However, note that the subject group is a normal group with no abnormalities in gait and balance and it is unclear whether the decrease in performance is due to the environment or fear. Therefore, the effects of the subject group's improvement and fear on the results need to be analyzed in future studies.

최근 들어 시설투자를 통하여 대중교통중심의 교통체계로 전환을 시도하는 지방자치단체가 점차 늘어나고 있다. 그러나 장기적으로 지속적인 대중교통수송분담율의 제고를 위하여 대중교통 역세권의 토지이용체계를 대중교통중심으로 전환하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 도시공간구조를 고려하여 서울 수도권 지하철 역세권에 대하여 역 주변에 거주하는 잠재적 이용자를 최대한 수용할 수 있도록 역세권의 공간범위를 설정하는 방안을 모색하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 2002년 서울시에서 수행한 가구통행실태조사의 통행자료를 이용하여 지하철통행시간과 보행접근시간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과 역세권의 공간적 범위를 결정하는 보행접근시간은 지하철통행시간과 밀접한 관계를 가지나 공간적 위계에 따라 다르다는 것을 발견하였고, 지하철통근자의 개인속성도 공간구조적 특성과 함께 보행접근시간에 차별적으로 영향을 미침을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 대중교통중심의 개발정책에 반영할 경우 지하철의 안정적인 이용률 제고에 기여할 것으로 기대한다.

최근 승용차의 48%가 수도권에 집중되어 있어 도심의 혼잡이 늘어날 것으로 예상되고 있다. 하지만 일부 도심에서 부설주차장 설치를 제한해야한다는 법률에 제시되어 있어 주차장 공급이 부족할 것으로 예측되고 있다. 따라서 늘어나는 주차수요로 인하여 운전자들이 주차장을 탐색하는데 어려움을 겪는 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구를 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 주차장 선택이라는 문제가 도보권내에서 발생하는 것이기 때문에 도보권의 개념을 도입하여 구축한 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 본 연구의 결과 이용자의 선호에 따라 선택패턴이 달라지기 때문에 이를 고려하는 것이 타당하고 나아가 유비쿼터스시대가 도래하게 된다면 실시간 정보공유로 인한 더 정확한 정보를 운전자에게 제공할 수 있게 될 것이라는 비전을 제시하고 있다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the kinematic variables of the upper part of the body for 8 elderly men during walking. For this study, kinematic data were collected using a six-camera (240Hz) Qualisys ProReflex system. The room coordinate system was right-handed and fixed in space, with righted orthogonal segment coordinate systems defined for the head, trunk, and pelvis. Based on a rigid body model, reflective marker triads were attached on the 3 segments. Three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates for each marker were determined at the time of recording using a nonlinear transformation(NLT) technique with ProReflex software (Qualisys, Inc.). Coordinate data were low-pass filtered using a fourth-order Butterworth with cutoff frequency of 6Hz. Three-dimensional angles of the head, trunk, and pelvis segment were determined using a Cardan method. On the basis of each segment angle, angle-angle plot used to estimated the movement coordinations between segments. The conclusions were as follows; (1) During the support phase of walking, the elderly people generally kept their, head the flexional and abductional posture. Particularly, the elderly displayed little internal/external rotation. (2) The elderly people showed extensional and external rotation postures in the trunk movement. Particularly, It showed the change from adduction into abduction at the heel contact event of the stance phase. (3) The elderly people showed almost same pelvis movement from the flexion into extension, from the abduction into adduction, and from internal rotation into external rotation at the mid stance and toe off of the stance phase.

Objective : This study was conducted with an aim to use it as basic data for developing assistive devices, such as insoles that can suppress the progress of degenerative diseases and strategies, to improve early degenerative diseases by assessing walking characteristics of farm workers who were classified as KL-grade in the perspective of motor mechanics. Method : 38 male and female adults who complained of knee joint pain for more than six months were selected, and they were classified according to KL-grade. KL-grade was assessed by an orthopaedic specialist and an occupational environment health specialist. Filming equipment (FX-1, CASIO, Japan) and a ground reaction force system (AMTI OR6, AMTI, USA) were used to identify ground reaction force characteristics, and WOMAC was used for a pain rating scale. Results : There was a difference between the right and left side (axis-X) according to KL-grade, and when the grade was higher, the internal ground reaction force was also higher. Changes in COP were not affected by KL-grade of the knee joint, but it tended to increase as the grade increased. There were differences in the time required for limb support while walking according to the grades, and when the grade was higher, walking was more inefficient with long braking force and short propulsion forces. Also, pain rating scale, the right and left side, and COP changes while in support phase were related. Conclusion : There was a partial, statically significant difference in KL-grade and ground reaction force occurring during the support phase, and there were differences in ground reaction forces according to the grades of degenerative arthritis in the knee joint, indicating that this study is worthy as basic data for future studies.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare balance ability according to the immersion level of virtual reality-based training for the balance enhancement of the elderly. Methods: This study included 48 elderly people aged 65 years and older (male 16, female 32). According to the immersion level of applied virtual reality training, 16, 17, and 15 persons were randomly assigned to full immersion, semi-immersion, and control groups. The subjects who were assigned to the full immersion group and semi-immersion group received virtual reality training for 6 weeks at 20 min at a time, 3 times per week. The control group received no intervention. Balance ability was evaluated by measuring the stability limit and the tandem walking test before and after the intervention. Results: Results showed significant differences among the three groups in the limit of stability of all directions and the tandem walking test after the intervention. The results of the limit of stability showed a significantly higher value in the full-immersion group than in the control group, and the results of the tandem walking test showed a significantly lower value in the full-immersion and semi-immersion groups than in the control group. Conclusion: The results indicate that the head-mounted display equipment for applying full-immersion virtual training is the most effective in enhancing the balance ability of the elderly.
