Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of hand tapping on the accuracy and the fluency of speech production in children with speech sound disorder(SSD) and their typically developing peers(TD). Methods : The study subjects were 15 SSD children and 15 TD children aged 4, 5, and 6 years of age. Subjects were asked to give a picture name without hand tapping in the first experimental condition, and with hand tapping in the second experiment condition. Results : The results showed that hand tapping significantly increased disfluency in TD, whereas in SSD. it did not affect the accuracy or fluency of speech production. In addition, TD demonstrated a significant positive correlation with the changes of accuracy and disfluency due to hand tapping, whereas SSD had no correlation. Conclusion : We discussed the possibility that hand tapping could serve as an obstacle distracting attention from SSD and TD, acting as a motor gesture to facilitate phonological processing when facing the difficulty in lexical retrieval for SSD.

줄넘기는 줄을 돌리는 손동작과 뛰어오르는 동작이 결합된 운동으로 정확한 카운트를 위해서는 두 동작을 함께 고려해야 한다. 이전의 연구들에서는 단순 반복적인 운동인 윗몸일으키기, 팔굽혀펴기, 아령 운동과 함께 치부하여 하나의 동작만을 체크하여 카운트 하였다. 이것은 실제 줄넘기 동작과는 차이가 있으며 두 동작 중 하나의 동작만을 하고 있다면 확인해내지 못하는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 6축 가속도 자이로 센서를 이용하여 두 동작을 모두 확인하고 카운트하는 방법을 제안한다. 가속도 센서를 이용하여 뛰어오르는 동작을 확인하며 자이로 센서를 이용하여 손동작을 확인한다. 이때 확인되는 값의 파형을 이용하여 줄넘기 횟수를 카운트하게 된다. 제안하는 방법은 실제 실험을 통하여 카운트 방법의 성능을 확인할 수 있다.

This paper proposes a human mouse system that replaces mouse input by human hand movement. As the resolution of monitors increases, it is not quite possible, due to the resolution difference between web cameras and monitors, to place the cursor in the entire range of a monitor by simply moving the pointer which recognizes the position of the hand from the web camera. In this regard, we propose an effective method of placing the position of the mouse, without repeating the returning hand movements, in the corners of the monitor in which the user wants it to be. We also proposes the recognition method of finger movements in terms of using thumb and index finger. The measurement that we conducted shows the successful recognition rate of 97% that corroborates the effectiveness of our method.

Jump rope has two motions. It starts as hand motion and ends as jump motion. Therefore, two motions should be considered together to detect rotations accurately. But previous researches only consider one of the two motions as in push-up, sit-up, lift dumbbells etc, which results in inaccurate detection of rotations. In this paper, detection of rotation in jump rope using two motions through 6-axis accelerometer gyro sensor is proposed. Jump motion is detected using accelerometer sensor and hand motion is detected using gyro sensor. Also start point and end point of jump rope is detected using magnitude and standard deviation of accelerometer and gyro sensor values. The count of rotation is detected using y-axis of gyro sensor value. Y-axis of gyro sensor value indicate hand motion of jump rope motion. The usefulness of the proposed method is confirmed through experimental results.
