손바닥, 발바닥, 입술, 생식기 등을 제외한 사람의 몸에는 약 1백만 가닥의 털이 있다. 그 중 머리카락은 가장 많은 숫자와 진한 색깔을 자랑한다. 유럽인이 약 8만 가닥, 동양인이 약 10만 가닥을 갖고 있는 머리카락은 최고1.5~2m까지 자랄 만큼 놀라운 성장력을 갖고 있다. 사람에게 우아함을 선사하는 반면 과도한 탈모와 이른흰머리로 근심 걱정을 안겨주기까지 하는 모발에 대해 경희대학교, 동서신의학병원 심우영교수와 강남고운세상피부과 김태윤 원장의 도움말로 알아본다.

피부는 신체를 둘러싸고 있는 하나의 막이다. 이것은 우리의 생명 보존에 절대 불가결한 것이며 그 사람이 살아온 과정과 연륜을 말해주는 것으로 나무의 나이테와 같은 것이라고 할 수 있다. 피부의 총 면적은 개인에 따라 약간씩 차이는 있지만 평균 1.5~2.0㎡ 정도이고 피부의 두께는 평균 2mm이며 피하조직을 제외한 두께는 약 1.4mm정도이다. 신체 부위 중 가장 얇은 곳은 눈꺼풀이며 가장 두터운 곳은 손, 발바닥이다. 인체의 신비를 보여주는 우리 몸의 기관 그 세 번째 피부에 대해서 한림대학교 성심병원 피부과 김철우 교수, 리더스 피부과(강남 압구정점) 박병순 전문의의 도움말로 알아본다.

In this paper, we present the method of gait phases detection using multi biomedical signals during normal gait. Electromyogram(EMG) signals, muscle of thigh angle measurement device and resistive sensors are used for experiments. We implemented a test targeting five adult male and identified the pattern of EMG signal of normal gait. For acquiring the EMG signal, subjects attached surface Ag/AgCl electrodes to quadriceps femoris, biceps femoris, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius medialis. Resistance sensors are attached to the heel toe and soles of the each feet for measuring attachment state of between feet and ground. Infrared sensors are attached on the thigh and thigh angle measurement device has the range from flection 25 degrees to extension 20 degrees. The results of this paper, The stance and swing phase could be confirmed during the normal gait and be classified in detail the eight steps.

This paper proposes a control method based on a pseudo-impedance model to control the motion of biped robots walking on an uneven surface. The pseudo-impedance model simulates the action of the ankle of a foot landing on the ground when a human walks. When the foot is in contact with the ground, the human ankle goes through two different phases. In the first phase, the human exerts little or no effort and applies no torque on the ankle so that the orientation of the foot is effortlessly and passively adjusted with respect to the ground. In the second phase of landing, the ankle generates a significant amount of torque in order to rotate and move the main part of the human body forward and to support the weight of the human; this phase is called the weight acceptance phase. Computer simulations of a 12-DOF biped robot with a 6-DOF environment model were performed to determine the effectiveness of the proposed pseudo-impedance control. The simulation results show that stable locomotion can be achieved on an irregular surface by using the proposed model.

Pachyonychia congenita is a very rare group of an autosomal dominant genodermatosis caused by heterozygous mutations in the keratin genes. The clinical findings affect nail and toenails, soles, and oral mucosa, etc. The main symptoms include nail and toenail dystrophy, hyperkeratosis of hands and feet, follicular hyperkeratosis, oral leukokeratosis. Many therapeutic modalities have been used to treat skin lesion, including surgical and mechanical procedures, chemical agents, medications. Oral lesions but not usually require treatment, if the patient's discomfort occurs, symptomatic therapy is performed. In the patients accompanied by oral and skin lesions, clinician have to observe specific manifestations with dystrophy of the fingernails and toenails, plantar hyperkeratosis, oral leukokeratosis and tissue biopsy is required for diagnosis confirmed.

An insole type local shear force measurement system was developed and local shear stresses in the foot were measured during level walking. The shear force transducer based on the magneto-resistive principle, was a rigid 3-layer circular disc. Sensor calibrations with a specially designed calibration device showed that it provided relatively linear sensor outputs. Shear transducers were mounted on the locations of four metatarsal heads and heel in the insole. Sensor outputs were amplified, decorded in the bluetooth transmission part and then transferred to PC. In order to evaluate the developed system, both shear and plantar pressure measurements, synchronized with the three-dimensional motion analysis system, were performed on twelve young healthy male subjects, walking at their comfortable speeds. The maximum peak pressure during gait was 5.00kPa/B.W at the heel. The time when large local shear stresses were acted correlated well with the time of fast COP movements. The anteroposterior shear was dominant near the COP trajectory, but the mediolateral shear was noted away from the COP trajectory. The vector sum of shear stresses revealed a strong correlation with COP movement velocity. The present study will be helpful to select the material and to design of foot orthoses and orthopedic shoes for diabetic neuropathy or Hansen disease.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between vertical jump and lower extremity muscle strength of elementary school baseball players. This study subjects were conducted with a total of 40 subjects. Vertical jump was measured using a vertical jump gauge, and a hand held dynamometer was used to measure lower extremity muscle strength. For the measurement of lower extremity muscle strength, flexion·extension·adduction·abduction·internal rotaiton·external rotation of both hip joint, flexion·extension of both knee joint, dorsi flexion·plantar flexion of both ankle joint were measured. pearson's correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between vertical jump and lower extremity muscle strength. From these results, it was found that the stronger the leg muscles except for the plantar flexion, the higher the vertical jump was, indicating a positive correlation. In future studies, follow-up studies on the relationship between batting ability and vertical jump & lower extremity muscle strength are needed.
