Abstract

This study investigates the effect of wrist guards equipped with electronic muscle stimulation on reducing wrist pain and improving wrist function of actual lure fishing participants. This study combined conductive fabrics by selecting two products of wrist guards that can be used in lure fishing, which requires holding fishing rods with hands for a long time. It was conducted on ten healthy men aged 35 to 45, and the selection conditions were selected for those who did not have a history of surgery on the wrist and are currently enjoying lure fishing as a hobby. The experimental movement was performed 100 times before each experiment to cause delayed muscle pain to cause wrist fatigue when lure fishing was performed with the operation of grip strength and range of motion. As a result of this study, it was found that pain reduction, range of motion, and grip strength were improved when electrical stimulation was applied after wearing a wrist band in the form of a wrist wrap and semi-gloves. The conclusion of this study was that when electrical stimulation was applied to the wrist guards, the effect of improving the fatigue and function of the wrist could be confirmed through experiments. Through this study, it is expected that wearing electronic muscle stimulation wrist guards will have a significant effect on preventing wrist injuries and improving functional recovery for lure fishing participants.

본 연구의 목적은 EMS를 장착한 손목 보호대를 이용해 실제 루어낚시참여자의 손목 통증 저하와 손목 기능개선에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것이다. 본 연구는 장시간 손으로 낚싯대를 들고 있어야 하는 루어낚시에서 사용가능한 손목 보호대 두 가지 제품을 선별해 전도성 원단을 결합했다. 건강한 35세에서 45세 남성 10명을 대상으로 진행하였고, 선정 조건은 손목부위에 수술 이력이 없고 현재 취미로 루어낚시를 즐기고 있는 사람을 대상으로 선별하였다. 실험동작은 악력과 손목관절 굽힘의 측정(Range of Motion ROM)의 동작으로, 루어낚시를 했을 때의 손목피로도 유발을 위해 지연성 근육통을 유발하는 캐스팅 100회씩을 각 실험 전에 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과 손목을 감싸는 형태와 반장갑형태의 손목밴드를 착용 후 전기 자극을 주었을 때 통증저하와 ROM 및 악력 기능이 향상되었음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결론으로 손목보호대에 전기 자극을 적용하였을 때 손목의 피로도와 기능 개선에 효과가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 EMS를 장착한 손목 보호대 착용이 루어낚시 참여자들로 하여금 손목 부상을 예방하고 기능회복 증진에 유의미한 효과가 있음을 기대할수 있다.
