The purpose of this study is to compute the ground reaction forces during gait in the absence of force plates. The difficulties in using force plates for hemiparetic patients inspired us to initiate this study. Level-walking experiments were performed using a three-dimensional motion analysis system with synchronized force plates. Kinematic data were obtained from the three-dimensional trajectories of reflective markers. Gait events were also detected from the kinematic data. The human body was modeled as 13 rigid segments. The mass and the center of mass of each segment were determined from anthropometric data. Vertical ground-reaction forces obtained from the kinematic data were in good agreement with those obtained using the force plate. The computed and measured values of anterior and lateral ground reaction showed similar tendencies. The computation results can be used as the basic data for inverse dynamic analysis.

In this paper, dynamic modeling with viscoelastic properties of a human body resting on a seat is presented to quantitatively analyze ride quality of passengers exposed to vertical vibrations. In describing the motions of a seated body, a 5 degree-of-freedom multibody model from the literature is investigated. The viscoelastic characteristics of seats used in railway vehicles are mathematically formulated with nonlinear stiffness characteristics and convolution integrals representing time delay terms. Transfer functions for the floor input are investigated and it is found that these are different in accordance with the input magnitude due to nonlinear characteristics of the seat. Measured floor input at the railway vehicle is used to analyze realistic human vibration characteristics. Frequency weighted RMS acceleration values are calculated and the effects of the seat design parameters on the frequency weighted RMS acceleration values are presented.

뇌는 신경 세포가 모여 신경계의 중심을 이루고 있는 부분으로 척수와 함께 중추 신경계를 이루어 온몸의 신경을 지배하고 있다. 숨쉬기에서 눈을 깜박이는 것까지 여러 가지 운동능력은 말할 것도 없고, 기억하고 사고하고 판단하는 능력까지 조절하는데 뇌의 기능은 중요한 역할을 한다. 즉, 신체의 외부와 내부에서 다양한 신호를 전달받은 뇌는 이에 대해 우리 몸을 적절하게 유지하기 위한 여러 가지 명령을 내리는 것이다. 이번 호에서는 인제대학교 서울백병원 신경과 정재면 교수의 도움말로 인체의 신비 '뇌'에 대해서 알아본다.

사과에도 중심(core)이 있고 지구도 지표면과 안으로 중심이 있듯이 인체에도 몸의 중심 부위가 있다. 보통 단전 부위에 무게중심이 있다고 설명을 한다. 단전의 위치에 대해서는 여러 가지 설이 있어 한마디로 정의하기는 어려우나 일반적으로 상단전, 중단전, 하단전으로 분류학 상단전은 뇌 부분, 중단전은 심장에서 명치 부분, 하단전은 배꼽 아래 부분에 있다고 한다. 단전이라고 할 때 약간의 차이는 있지만 아랫배 부근을 가르키며, 기해라고도 한다. 특히 하단전은 모든 경락이 모이는 곳으로서 원기를 저장하는 곳이며 기 흐름의 요체이다. 또한 생명력을 배양하는 곳이자 복식호흡의 기본력이라고 알려져 있다. 그러면 의학적으로는 어떤 것을 신체 중심(core)이라고 이야기 할까?

인체 동맥혈관내 혈액의 유동현상을 수치적으로 해석하기 위해서는 혈액의 유변학 적 성질을 구성방정식으로 나타내어야한다. 본 연구에서는 혈액의 점성계수를 표현하기 위 하여 비뉴턴유체의 점성을 나타내는 식으로서 Carreau 모델, 수정 Cross 모델, 수정 Powell-Eyring 모델과 수정멱법칙모델을 사용하였고 원형관내 혈액의 정상유동을 수치모사 하기 위하여 겉보기점성계수를 이용하는 구성방정식을 운동량방정식에 적용하였다. Carreau 모델과 수정멱법칙모델을 적용할 때 레이놀즈수의 변화가 중심선상의 속도와 길이방향의 압 력변화에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 전단율이 높은영역에서 혈액의 겉보기점성계수를 효과 적으로 나타낼수 있는 수정멱법칙모델을 제시하였다.

The aim of this study was to provide fundamental data in training to improve athletes' competitiveness through the comparative analysis of kinematic variables according to the types of stance. For this study, the subjects selected 4 Junior Weight lifters. Subjects performed two type(8-type and 11-type) Dead-lift and their performance was sampled at 60frame/sec. using four high-speed digital video cameras. After digitizing images from four cameras, the two-dimensional coordinates were used to produce three-dimensional coordinates of the 15 body segments(20 joint makers and 2 bar makers). And the results were as follows. 1. As for the time required for stances, 8-type motion was faster than 11-type motion. 2. As for the body-center shift in stances, 8-type motion was bigger than 11-type motion in back and forth motion shift, and 11-type motion was bigger than 8-type motion in right and left, up and down motion shift. 3. As for the speed of a body-center and a babel, 8-type motion was faster than 11-type motion. 4. As for the motion-trace of a babel in stances, 8-type motion was bigger than 11-type in back and forth, right and left motion and 11-type motion was bigger than 8-type in up and down motion. 5. As for the body-angles in stances, 8-type motion was bigger than 11-type in the stance angle, and 11-type motion is bigger than 8-type in the angles of a coxa, a knee and an ankle. As a result of the comparative analysis between 8-type and 11-type stance of Junior Weight lifters dead-lift, both were generally similar in variables, but 8-type motion was more stable than 11-type in aspects of time, speed, center shift, angle change.

인체는 활동(운동)이 부족하면 체력이 떨어지고, 이로 인해 신체기관의 기능도 저하된다. 기능 저하는 노화의 진행을 당길 뿐 아니라 성인병 등 각종 질병의 원인이 되기도 한다. 성인병은 운동부족과 관련이 많기 때문에 이를 '운동부족병'이라고도 한다. 이 문제점을 해결하기 위한 건강 관리 앱을 이용해규칙적인 운동으로 인해 체력적, 심리적으로 긍정적인 결과를 기대할 수 있다.

A general procedure for a motion capture and mimic system has been delineated. Utilizing sensors operated in the magnetic fields, complicated and optimized movements are easily digitized to analyze and repreduce. The system consists of a motion capture module, a motion visualization module, a motion plan module, a motion mimic module, and a GUI module. Design concepts of the system are modular, open, and user friendly to ensure the overall system performance. Custom-built and/or off-the-shelf modules are ease- ly integrated into the system. With modifications, this procedure can be applied for complicated motion controls. This procedure is implemented on tracking a head and balancing a pole. A neural controller based on this control scheme dtilizing human motions can easily evolve from a small amount of learning data.
