Neuropathy is a common and often debilitating complication of diabetes, Diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DN) includes a variety of different disorders that affect the peripheral nervous system. The most common type of DN is the predominantly sensory distal polyneuropathy. Typically, symptoms begin in the foot and proximally during the course of the discease, reflecting the fact that longer fibres are involved earlier that shorter ones. Reviewed the pathogenesis, the diagnosis of DN, the gait pattern and the excercise, the treatment of pain in DN patient.

Objective : This study intends to suggest an effective clinical intervention method for stroke patients by applying a trunk stabilization training program to a single stroke patient and investigating and analyzing the effects of the program on postural control and activities of daily living. Methods : The subject of this study was a 75 year-old female stroke patient hospitalized in C Hospital located in Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do. As for the research design, A-B-A reversal design was used with a single subject design; and the research period was a total of five weeks from April 21, 2014 to May 23, 2014. As for the research process, a total of 15 sessions were carried out including three sessions of baseline(A), nine sessions of an intervention period(B), and three sessions of maintenance(A'); and the trunk stabilization program was applied during the intervention period. To evaluate the participant's postural control and activities of living life, the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke(PASS) and the modified Barthel Index(MBI) were used. Visual analysis was used in which collected data were plotted on a graph, using Microsoft Office Excel 2013. Results : In the postural control test, the mean scores improved from 11.7 in the baseline phase to 14.8 in the intervention phase and 15.3 in the maintenance phase. In the evaluation of activities of daily living, the score improved from 66(medium dependence) during the baseline period to 80(low dependence) after intervention and at the maintenance phase. Conclusion : It was found that the trunk stabilization training program showed effects on the stroke patient's postural control or alignment, and furthermore a beneficial improvement in the patient's performing the activities of daily living, as well.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of wearable sensor wear on the muscle contraction of cervical erector spinae and upper trapezius causing the forward head posture induction in order to reduce the stress induced by the use of smartphone. This study was to investigate the muscle activity of healthy adults in the 20th to 30th generations by dividing them into the control group using the smartphone, the non-wearing group conscious the posture of the head posture, and the wearing group wearing the wearable sensor. There were no differences in muscle activity between cervical erector spinae and upper trapezius compared to the control, non - wearing, and wearing groups. In addition, the changes in muscle activity of cervical erector spinae muscles were increased in all groups, but the muscle activity of upper trapezius muscles were in the wear group compared to the non-wear group and the control group, but there was no statistical significance. That is, wear of the wearable sensor may be effective in controlling the conscious posture, but it may cause the compensation of another part.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of core training on dynamic posture control, lower extremity injury and proprioceptive joint position sensory in ski athletes. Twenty subjects participated in this study and were randomly divided into two groups : exercise group (Ex=10) and control group (Con=10). The core training program consisted of a bench, a sideways bench, a plank, a side bridge, and a supine bridge, and was conducted three times a week for 8 week. The dynamic posture control had a significant effect on the left and right postero-medial reach, and the lower extremity criterion test had a significant effect on the left and right composite scores. In addition, there was a significant decrease in the proprioceptive joint position sense at 15°of the left leg and 45°. In conclusion, 8 weeks a core training have been shown to improve skiers' dynamic posture control, lower extremity injury and proprioceptive joint position sensory.

Reaction wheel shows nonlinear torque response on low-speed region due to friction. Thus precise satellite attitude control on this region is hard to achieve. Previous research tries to solve this problem, by compensating friction or applying dither command. However, due to difficulties of drag torque modeling or frequent zero wheel speed crossing, these methods are not suitable to apply on the real satellite attitude control. To solve this problem, we propose the attitude controller gain adjustment method based on the attitude error.

The objective of this study was to identify the effect of lumbar lordotic curve adjustment on head and neck posture in older adults. Methods Twenty healthy older participants (mean age 71.32) were photographed while watching monitor in sitting with or without lumbar roll support(length 28cm, diameter 10cm). The upper cervical angle and lower cervical angle were measured using the NIH ImageJ 1.32. Comparisons between upper and lower cervical angle with or without lumbar roll support were made using paired-t test analysis. Results Subjects demonstrated a significant difference in the mean upper and lower cervical angle. Mean difference of the upper cervical angle was about $2.83^{\circ}$ with and without lumbar roll support(p<0.005). Mean difference of the lower cervical angle was about $4.44^{\circ}$ with and without lumbar roll support(p<0.0001). Conclusions This study showed that healthy older adults demonstrated more ability to maintain an upright posture of cervical spine during lumbar lordotic curve maintenance with lumbar roll support than without lumbar roll support. When the clinicians consider improvement of the head and neck posture in older adults, they must incorporate adjustment in the lumbar region.

휴머노이드 로봇 연구의 목표는 인간의 생활환경에서 휴머노이드 로봇이 인간과 같은 동작을 수행하는 것이다. 지금까지 많은 연구자들은 안정된 동작을 수행할 수 있는 휴머노이드 로봇에 대한 연구를 많이 해왔지만 주로 보행에 국한되어 있고 이에 비해 자세 제어에 관한 연구는 아직까지 많지 않다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 점을 보완하기 위해서 정확하고 반응속도가 빠른 경사계를 이용하여 자세를 제어하는 방법을 제시한다. 경사계로부터 얻은 데이터를 바탕으로 지면의 상태를 파악하고 현재의 지면에서 알맞은 자세를 유지할 수 있도록 휴머노이드 로봇의 질량중심을 조절하여 자세를 제어한다.
