본 문서에서는 장애인 접근성을 지원하는 전자책 시스템에서 시각장애인 또는 독서장애인 사용자와 전자책뷰어간의 상호작용에 관련된 기술 전반 및 기술 개발 동향에 대해 살펴보고자 한다. 특히 '장애인 접근성', '전자책' 그리고 '인터랙션'이라는 독립된 기술 개념에 대해 살펴보고, 접근성 관련 국내 외 표준 및 가이드라인과 전자책 뷰어 및 스크린리더 제품군, 그리고 새로운 인터랙션 연구 문헌 등의 조사 분석을 통하여 장애인 접근성 전자책의 인터랙션 기술개발 방향에 참고할 사용자의 요구사항과 사용자 및 시스템 특성 고려사항을 분석해본다. 이를 근거로 접근성을 지원하는 전자책 인터랙션 기술의 향후 개발 방향을 함께 제시함으로써 시각장애인 및 독서장애인을 위한 모바일 전자책 응용 등 관련된 기술개발에 참고가 되고자 한다.

전맹인 시각장애인을 비롯해 신체적이거나 정신적인 장애로 인해 표준적인 포맷의 인쇄된 정보에 접근할 수 없는 독서장애인에게 전자책의 등장은 새로운 가능성을 열어주었으나, 여전히 장애인들의 정보접근성은 비장애인에 비해 현저히 낮다. 웹의 경우 플랫폼별, 웹 브라우저별로 장애인 접근성 향상을 위한 다양한 연구와 노력 및 개선이 지속되고 있지만, 전자출판 분야에서의 장애인 독서 접근성에 관한 연구와 개선은 미흡한 현실이다. 독서장애인들의 출판물 접근성을 비장애인들과 유사한 수준으로 높이기 위한 국내외 관련 연구사례를 살펴보고, 독서장애인의 지식정보격차를 해소하기 위해 향후 전자출판이 나아가야 할 방향에 대해 알아본다.

본 논문은 작업 현장에서 청각장애인의 의사소통을 보조하는 한국 수화 메시지 보드의 개발에 대하여 다룬다. 청각 장애인은 일상적인 직업 현장에서 의사소통이 자유롭지 못하여 업무에 잘 적응하지 못하고 사내의 인간관계에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 문자를 이용한 정보 전달을 통해 모든 의사소통을 대체할 수 있을 것이라는 일반적인 생각과는 달리, 청각장애인의 경우 비장애인과 비교하여 사물의 개념 습득에 어려움이 있을 수 있으며 마찬가지로 사용하는 어휘수도 제한적인 경우가 많아 문자를 통한 의사소통에는 명확한 한계가 존재한다. 실제로 청각 장애 근로자가 이직하는 사유로 의사소통이나 인간관계가 높은 비중을 차지한다. 수화 메시지 보드는 크게 사내 네트워크를 이용한 공지 사항 전달을 위한 용도와 복수 개의 메시지 보드 간 문자 송수신의 용도로 사용 가능하다. 비장애인이 청각장애인에게 문자 입력으로 의사를 전달하면, 전달된 문자는 문자-수화 번역기를 통해 자동으로 수화로 번역되어 아바타의 수화 동작으로 화면에 출력된다. 전체 시스템은 수화 아바타를 포함한 그래픽 유저 인터페이스 (GUI), 수화 데이터베이스 및 한글 형태소/문장 분석기를 포함하는 문자-수화 번역기, 그리고 TCP/IP 기반의 문자 전송기의 세 부분으로 나뉜다. 본 논문에서는 수화 데이터베이스의 단어 선정을 위한 대상 작업 현장을 청각 장애 근로자가 타 직업에 비해 많은 비중을 차지하는 전자 부품 조립 업체로 한정하였다. 수화 데이터베이스는 자음 14종, 모음 17종, 숫자 15종, 일상생활 용어 1000종, 전자 부품 조립 업체에 특화된 단어 50종 및 직업 교육 관련 용어 50종으로 이루어진 총 1146종의 수화 단어를 포함하며, 수화 데이터베이스에 등록되지 않은 단어에 대해서는 지화로 표현하도록 한다. 이 중 전자 부품 조립 업체 특화 단어와 관련하여서는, 현재 동일한 분야의 작업 현장이라 하더라도 각 사업장 간 사용되는 수화가 통일되지 않아 문헌 조사 및 현장 조사를 통해 사용 빈도가 높고 형태가 공통적인 50종을 추려내었다. 본 연구는 실제 업무현장에서 청각장애인이 겪는 의사소통의 문제를 효과적으로 해결함으로써, 청각장애인이 직업 현장에 보다 쉽게 적응하도록 도움을 줄 뿐만 아니라, 일을 통해 자아 실현을 하도록 돕는 방안이 될 수 있다는 점에서 중요한 의의를 갖는다.

The purpose of this study was to know influenced on the change of Oswestry back pain disability index(OBPDI), isometric muscle power(IMP), muscular activation with chronic low back pain(CLBP) patients after Trunk Stabilization Exercise. Intervention was provided 6 weeks(5 days a week). Muscular activation was measured during IMP(Muscles : transversus abdominis : TA, internal obliqus : IO, external obliqus : EO, rectus abdominis : RA and erector spinae: ES). The results were as follows. 1. OBPDI about the MBE and the SE groups had effective decrease pain and disability. 2. IMP of intervention after the MBE and the SE groups had effective improve muscle power. 3. Muscle activation during IMP of intervention after was : TA, IO, RA had increase in the MBE and the SE groups. EO muscle activation during IMP of intervention after had increase only MBE groups. This shows that the MBE and the SE groups had effective increase because it has effective improve muscle power. Therefore, this study shows ￡hat trunk stabilization exercise program influenced on the change of OBPDI, IMP, muscular activation with CLBP patients.

Data from Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled(4th year, 187 workers) was used for analyzing the difference between hearing aid users and nonusers for their job satisfaction and daily life satisfaction. The analyses result shows that there are no significant differences in both job satisfaction and daily life satisfaction between hearing aid users and nonusers. However, job satisfaction of hearing aid users has a positive role in daily life satisfaction. Although hearing aids to the hearing impaired played very important role, it was thought to be resulted that some influence factors such as the increase of using IT devices and the expansion of communication support services weren't applied because of the nature of the panel data. These limitations of the study and implications are presented at the conclusion.

The purpose of this study was to verify the causal relations among related factors of job and life satisfaction among 805 wage workers with disabilities. The study conducted a path analysis using the $8^{th}$ Panel survey of Employment for the Disabled data. The results are as follows. Firstly, the life satisfaction scale was categorized into the human relationship satisfaction and the material environment satisfaction by an explorative factor analysis. These two satisfactions are directly affected by Job Satisfaction (JS) and Job Involvement (JI), not directly affected by Job Engagement (JE). Secondly, JS and JI have a complete mediated effect on the path from JE to these two satisfactions. Thirdly, an indirect effect in the path reaching JS was shown to be significant in a dual mediating effect through JS and JI. Based on this study, it is recommended the way of vocational rehabilitation counseling and the related supporting strategies and programs devise toward a JS of wage workers with disabilities, vocational rehabilitation field practitioners and professionals should consider properly intervening job factors.

Aimed at office workers at their height of Temporomandibular joint disorder(TMD), organized self-filling questionnaires were distributed from January 7 to 26, 2008 to 216 workers in the fields of service, office work, and production in D metropolitan city, to get a proper recognition about prevention and treatment of TMD by observing how strongly occupational stress influence on them. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. For subjective symptoms of joint noise as TMD, occasional was 45.8% and often 12.0%, while for joint dislocation often was 12.0%. 41.2% said they feel pains while chewing, while 24.1% said they occasionally feel pains while not chewing. 2.8% said they often experience mouth-opening disorder. 2. For joint noise, answers were significantly different according to their ages, while 30's are at their height (P < 0.05). For joint dislocation, the shorter they worked the more they have it, so less than a year worker was 37.9%, while less than 3 years 31.0%, and less than 5 years 20.7%. For work type, daytime workers have more dislocation, 58.6%, than shift-workers 34.5% (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). For pains while chewing, the shorter they worked, the more they experienced, which is the same as mouth-opening disorder (P < 0.01). 3. Workers with mouth-opening disorder have much stress on occupational autonomy (P < 0.05) and workers with dislocation and pains while chewing have much stress on relation trouble (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Workers with highly occupational insecurity has much trouble on dislocation and pains while chewing, while workers with dislocation have significantly much stress on unproper compensation (P < 0.05). 4. For who have joint dislocation, they have much stress on relation-trouble, occupational disorder, and un-proper compensation (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). Workers with pains while not chewing showed significant difference about occupational insecurity and relation troubles (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Who have mouth-opening disorder showed significant difference about occupational autonomy (P < 0.05).

This study aimed to assess stiffness and elasticity of the masticatory muscle in the patients with the masticatory muscle pain using a tactile sensor and to investigate whether the masticatory muscle pain affects the facial expression muscles. From those who visited Department of Oral Medicine in Dankook University Dental Hospital, 27 patients presenting with unilateral muscle pain and tenderness in the masseter muscle (Ms) were selected (mean age: $36.4{\pm}13.8$ years). Exclusion criterion was those who also had temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders or any neurological pain. Muscle stiffness and elasticity for the muscles of mastication and facial expression was investigated with the tactile sensor (Venustron, Axiom Co., JAPAN) and the muscles measured were the Ms, anterior temporal muscle (Ta), frontalis (Fr), inferior orbicularis oculi (Ooci), zygomaticus major (Zm), superior and inferior orbicularis oris (Oors, Oori) and mentalis (Mn). t-tests was used to compare side difference in muscle stiffness and elasticity. Side differences were also compared between diagnostic groups (local muscle soreness (LMS) vs myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) and between acute (< 6M) and chronic ($\geq$ 6M) groups. This study showed that Ms and Zm at affected side exhibited significantly increased stiffness and decreased elasticity as compared to the unaffected side.(p<0.05) There was no significant difference between local muscle soreness and myofascial pain syndrome groups and between acute and chronic groups. The results of this study suggests that masticatory muscle pain in Ms can affect muscle stiffness and elasticity not only for Ms but also for Zm, the facial expression muscle.
