Abstract

The purpose of this study is to elucidate the possible cause of falling owing to mechanical energy in elderly women as compared to young women when performing the sit-to-walk movement. Two groups participated in this study: 10 elderly women and 10 young women. We used a ProReflex MCU camera (Qualisis, Sweden) and ground reaction force to evaluate the mechanical work. The muscle power (W) showed the same low negative work in both groups in the extension phase of the knee and hip joints while varying the angular velocity and net muscle moment of force. Elderly women, in particular, showed lower negative work. In mechanical work (J), the knee and hip joints of both groups showed the same amount of negative work in the extension phase. In the hip joint, elderly women showed lower negative work results in each phase. These result showed the possible reasons of falling for elderly women according to the weakness of the thigh muscle of the hip joint during the sit-to-walk movement.

본 연구의 목적은 여성고령자들에 있어 젊은 여성과 비교해 Sit-to-Walk동작 시 낙상의 간접적인 요인이 될 수 있는 역학적 에너지를 비교분석 하는 것이다. 여성고령자 그룹 10명과 젊은 여성 그룹 10명이 본 연구를 위해서 참여하였고, 적외선 카메라와 두 대의 지면반력기를 통하여 역학적 에너지를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 근 파워는 각속도와 근 모멘트의 변화에 따라 고관절의 무릎 및 고관절의 신전 국면시 두 그룹 모두 낮은 음의 일률을 보였고, 특히 고령자그룹에 더 낯은 음의 일률을 보였다. 역학적 에너지 일량에 있어서도 무릎관절과 고관절은 무릎 및 고관절 신전 국면에서 두 그룹 모두 음의 일량을 보였고, 특히 고관절은 전체국면에서 고령자 그룹에 있어 더 낮은 음의 일량을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 STW동작 시 고관절 대퇴근의 약화로 인한 에너지 손실(dissipation)은 고령자들의 낙상의 위험요소를 간접적으로 보여주는 것이라 여겨진다.
