Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the reliability of static balance measurements using a smartphone. Thirty subjects were selected among university students who had no fractures, history of operation, or inflammatory arthritis, and they had not started regular exercise during the past three months. The smartphone used in this study was a Galaxy S5LTE (SM-G900F, Samsung, Korea, 2014), and the application was a Sensor Kinetics Pro (Ver. 2.1.2, INNOVENTIONS Inc., US, 2015). Static balance ability was measured three times at one-day intervals between tests and retests. The first and second measurements used the same process. Analysis was done using the Wilcoxon signed rank test and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC (2,1)). The results were as follows. With eyes opened, there was no significant difference (p>0.05), a high volume of correlation (r>0.75, p<0.05), and very high reliability (ICC>0.80) between the first measurement and second measurement. With eyes closed, there was also no significant difference (p>0.05), a high volume of correlation (r>0.75, p<0.05), and very high reliability (ICC>0.80) between the measurements. The results show that the smartphone is likely accurate for measuring static balance. This study will look forward to being the only basis for measuring future application development and the ability to balance.

본 연구는 스마트폰의 가속도 센서를 이용하여 정적균형능력을 측정하는데 있어 신뢰도를 알아보고자 실시하였다. 본 연구의 연구대상자는 최근 3개월 이내에 골절, 수술, 염증성 관절염이 없고 정기적인 운동을 시작하지 않은 Y대학교의 학생 30명을 대상으로 하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 스마트폰은 갤럭시S5LTE (SM-G900F, Samsung, Korea, 2014)였고 어플리케이션은 Sensor Kinetics pro (Ver.2.1.2, INNOVENTIONS Inc, US, 2015)를 사용하였다. 정적균형능력은 1회당 3번씩 측정하였으며 하루 간격으로 검사-재검사로 시행되었다. 1차 측정과 2차 측정은 동일하게 진행되었다. 본 연구의 분석은 Wilcoxon 부호순위검정, 급내상관계수(ICC(2,1))를 사용하였다. 본 연구의 연구결과는 다음과 같았다. 눈을 뜬 상태에서 1차 측정과 2차 측정 간에 유의한 차이가 없었고(p>0.05) 강한 양의 상관관계를 보였으며(r>0.75, p<0.05) 매우 높은 일치도(ICC>0.80)를 보였다. 눈을 감은 상태에서 1차 측정과 2차 측정 간에 유의한 차이가 없었고(p>0.05) 강한 양의 상관관계를 보였으며(r>0.75, p<0.05) 매우 높은 일치도(ICC>0.80)를 보였다. 본 연구를 통해 스마트폰은 정적균형능력 측정에 있어 가능성이 있다는 사실을 알 수 있었으며 본 연구가 향후 균형능력측정 전용 어플리케이션 개발에 기초자료가 되기를 기대해본다.
