The purpose of this paper is to review vestibulo-ocular reflex and vestibular rehabilitation for balace problem in elderly. Falling is a common problem associated with aging. Falling and the resulting consequences constitutes one of the most common and serious problems. Balance deficits are one of the top risk factors for falling. Three systems(visual, vestibular and somatosensory) need to be integrated and used to coordinate and control balance. During normal ambulation and head movement, the vestibulo-ocular reflex(VOR) stabilizes gaze, and helps to keep the image of the retina. There is a direct association between deficits in VOR and falls. Older adults have a decreased ability to enhance and suppress the VOR. Vestibular rehabilitation(VR) is an exercise-based group of approaches that began with the aim of central nervous system compensation. VR restores VOR gain and reduces error using repetitive movements of the head and eyes. Many researches showd balance and gait tests were superior in the VR group. It is considered this article helps to prevent elderly falling with vestibular rehabilitation.

Based on a linear potential theory, the boundary element method(BEM) is developed and applied to analyze the hydrodynamic forces and the motion responses of a floating body with a partially reflective sidewall. The hydrodynamic forces (added mass and damping coefficients) are dependent on not only the submergence of a floating body and the reflection of a sidewall, but also the gap between body and sidewall. In particular, the partial reflection of a sidewall plays an importance role in the motion responses of a floating body at resonant frequencies. It reduces the resonant peaks caused by resonance phenomenon due to the wave trapping in an enclosed fluid domain between body and sidewall. Developed predictive tools can be used to assess the motion performance of a floating body for various combinations of configuration of a floating body, wave heading, sidewall properties, and wave characteristics and applied to supply the basic informations for the harbour design considering the motion characteristics of a moored ship.

HMD(Head Mountain Display)을 이용한 가상환경 내에서 발생하는 멀미는 일상에서 느끼는 멀미와 흡사하다. 멀미는 평형감각을 담당하는 시각계와 전정계 및 체성감각계와 관련이 있으며, 그 기관계 간의 충돌로 인해 발생한다. 즉, 시각정보와 전정정보의 괴리에 의해 발생한다. 안구는 이러한 멀미감을 감소하기 위해 반사적으로 안구운동이 이루어지는데, 이것을 전정 안구 반사 라고한다. 머리가 움직이는 방향과 반대 방향으로 시야를 움직여 시야의 혼란 장애를 방지하는 운동으로, 주시 고정을 위해 시야 주변의 물체에 따라 표적을 원하는 물체에 시야를 고정시켜 안정적인 안구운동을 유지한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 안구운동을 기반으로 안정적인 시각정보를 제공하여 사이버멀미를 줄이기 위한 콘텐츠 개발 방법론을 제시 하고자 한다.

This study investigated whether adolescents' perception s of coaching behavior and social behaviors differ by gender and sport career, and examined the relationships among these variables. Subjects were 740 high school athletes (516 males, 224 females). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and 2(gender)${\times}3$(sport career) MANOVA. Results of MANOVA indicated that the interaction between gender and sport career significantly influenced to the level of prosocial behaviors on opponents. Male athletes perceived their coaches' behaviors more controlled and showed higher antisocial behaviors to opponents than female athletes. Athletes with low sport career reported higher antisocial behaviors on opponents than those with high careers. Autonomy-supportive coaching behaviors were positively associated with prosocial behaviors, but negatively related with antisocial behaviors. Controlled coaching behaviors were positively associated with antisocial behaviors.

In the reflection and transmission of a plane wave(TE) from a dielectric plane surface oscillating sinusoidally perpendicular to its surface, one could assume that the boundary moves with a uniform velocity equal to the instantaneous oscillating velocity. The reflected and the transmitted fields are obtained as the function of the incident angles, the dielecri'c permittivity, and the oscillating velocities according to the extended Lorentz transform.

Most analytical models of the human body have focused on conscious responses. A patellar tendon reflex, a representative example of spinal reflexes, occurs without a neural command. Muscle forces and activation of the quadriceps femoris muscles in healthy adults during patellar tendon reflex are identified in this study. The model is assumed to move in the sagittal plane, and the thigh and the trunk are assumed to be fixed in a sitting position so that the shank can move similar to a pendulum. The knee joint is modeled as a revolute joint, and the ankle joint is modeled as a fixed joint so that the shank and the foot can be regarded as one rigid body. Muscle forces are calculated following the inverse dynamic approach. Kinematic data obtained from an experiment (Mamizuka, 2007) are used as input data. Muscle activations are identified using a Hill-type muscle model. The obtained simulation results are compared with experimental results for validating the model and the underlying assumptions.

The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the effects of exercise types on lower extremity muscle activity in stroke patients. For the purpose, the subjects of this study were classified into three groups such as therapeutic exercise group(n=7), elastic band group(n=7), and stretch reflex group(n=7). The three exercise programs were 5 times a week for 8 weeks. The stretch reflex group revealed higher in iliopsoas and biceps femoris %MVIC than the therapeutic exercise group and elastic band group, whereas elastic band group revealed lower in tibialis anterior %MVIC than therapeutic exercise group in the primary single-limb support. The stretch reflex group revealed higher in iliopsoas %MVIC than the therapeutic exercise group and elastic band group, whereas stretch reflex group revealed lower in medial gastrocnemius %MVIC than therapeutic exercise group in the secondary double support phase.

Videooculography (VOG) is one of the eye-movement measurement methods used for objective evaluation of vestibule -ocular reflex. A key feature of VOG is to estimate accurately the center of pupil and ocular torsion with being less influenced by the upper eyelid droop, eyelashes, corneal reflection, and eye blinks. Especially, it Is important to find the accurate center of the pupil in 3-D VOG because the inaccurate pupil center causes significant errors on measuring torsional eye movement. A new algorithm was proposed to find the center of pupil which is a little influenced by factors mentioned above. In this study, real time three-dimensional VOG which can measure horizontal, vortical, torsional eye movements, and the diameter of pupil was implemented using the proposed method.

The measurement of the Underwater Radiated Noise (URN) for the underwater vehicle should consider both the acoustic interference due to the surface reflection and the calculation of the Closet Point of Approach (CPA). In this paper, I tried to analyze the underwater vehicle's URN using the Lloyd's mirror effect. First, the theoretical Lloyd's mirror pattern was compared with the sea trial result, and the sea trial results corresponded well with the theoretical predicted pattern. And then the CPA distance could be estimated by the Lloyd's mirror pattern. As a results, acoustic source level shows the spectral fluctuation due to the acoustic interference of the Lloyd's mirror effect.

In the reflection and transmission of a transverse magnetic wave(TM wave) from a dielectric plane osillating sinusoidally perpendicular to ist surface, one could assume that the boundary moves with a uniform nelocity equal to the instantaneous socillating velodity. According to the extended Lorentz transform, the reflected and the transmitted field are obatained as the function of the dielectric permittivity, the oscillating velocities, and the incident angles. The above results are analyzed graphically.
