This study aimed to investigate the difference of the body orientation ability in sitting position to adapt to dynamically changing angle of the base of support in stroke patients and Healthy adults. The angle between vertical and head and trunk in 12 stroke patients (6 male and 6 female) and 12 healthy adults (6 male and 6 female) were measured by video motion analysis system. The head and trunk angle between stroke patients and healthy adults in sitting position were significantly different when increase the angle of dominant side(p<.05). The head and trunk angle between stroke patients and healthy adults in sitting position were significantly different when increase the angle of non-dominant side(p<.05). The head and trunk angle between stroke patients and healthy adults in sitting position were significantly different when decrease the angle of non-dominant side(p<.05). The head angle between stroke patients and healthy adults in sitting position was significantly different(p<.05), but the trunk angle was not significantly different when decrease the angle of dominant side(p>.05), Stroke patients compared to healthy adults had more deficits in their body orientation ability in sitting position to adapt to dynamically changing angle of the base of support. This finding may help to understand postural control deficits more clearly in stroke patients in sitting position.

This paper presents an adaptive variable weights tuning system for an integrated chassis control with electronic stability control (ESC) and active front steering (AFS) for lateral stability enhancement. After calculating the control yaw moment needed to stabilize a vehicle with a controller design method, it is distributed into the tire forces generated by ESC and AFS using weighted pseudo-inverse-based control allocation (WPCA). On a low friction road, lateral stability can deteriorate due to high vehicle speed. To cope with the problem, adaptive tuning rules on variable weights of the WPCA are proposed. To check the effectiveness of the proposed method, a simulation was performed on the vehicle simulation package, CarSim.

인간이 자연스럽게 선 자세를 취하는 경우, 그 신체의 균형은 주로 시각과 전 정미로계, 소뇌 및 근고유감각의 정보에 의하여 미세하게 조절된다. 그러나 일단 편마비, Parkinson's Disease, 골관절 질환, 실명등의 평형기능을 지해하는 장해를 받데 되면, 정상 적인 자세제어는 곤란하게 된다. 이러한 장해를 진단.치료해 가는 데에 재활의학에 있어서는 관절가동역 Test, 거수능력 Test, 일상생활동작 Test등의 평가방법이 이용되고 있고, 골관절 질환에 있어서는 방사선사진에 의존도가 높다. 그러나 어느 방법을 선택하든지간에 의사나 실제로 검사를 하는 검사자의 주관에 의한 것이 많고, 또 어느 정도 가능한가라는 정성적 판단이 대부분이다. 따라서 객관적이면서도 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 지표를 찾아서 위의 방법과 병행하는 것이 진단에 있어서 더욱 신뢰성을 높이고, 환자 자신도 병의 진행과정과 치료효과를 쉽게 이해 할 수 있다고 생각된다.

최근 다양한 연구를 통하여 전신 진동기 운동이 신체의 근골격계, 순환계 및 내분비계 등에 효과적임이 보고되고 있다. 특히 전신 진동운동이 노인의 낙상예방, 파킨슨 및 뇌졸중 환자와 같은 신경학적 질환자의 자세조절 및 기능향상을 위한 재활치료 방법으로 효과가 있다고 밝혀졌다. 그러나 아직까지 전신 진동운동에 적합한 의료 허가를 받은 제품이 없으며, 일부 유사한 진동감을 제공하는 기기를 위주로 제작되고 있는 상황이다. 추후 의료기기의 수요를 고려할 때 고령사회로의 진입 속도가 빨라짐에 따라 노인들에게 적합한 진동기의 개발이 필요하다. 노인들은 운동참여에 보수적이며 사회성이 떨어지기 때문에 운동기의 기능적 요건과 더불어 참여를 유도하는 환경 요인을 함께 제공할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 진동 운동기를 이용한 운동 효과를 분석하고 전신 진동운동에 적합한 가상현실 컨텐츠를 제시하였으며, 국내외 개발 및 연구 중인 기기와 컨텐츠 개발 동향을 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the limits of stability(LOS) data obtained from aged 20 to 69 years. In addition, this study was carried out to know correlation between age and LOS. 150 adults without neurosurgical and orthopedic disability from 20 to 69 years of age participared in this study. The LOS was measured at Two Feet Forceplate with BPM(Balance Performance Monitor) Dataprint Software Version 5.3. In this study applied the independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and correlation analysis to determine the statistical significance of results at 0.05 level of significance. The results of this study were as follows: 1. The anteroposterior LOS significantly differented from 40 age group to 60 age group. 2. The mediolateral LOS significantly differencted from 50 age group to 60 age group. 3. There were statistically significant differences in anteroposterior LOS according to age increasing.

This paper describes about the method for designing an extended Kalman filter to accurately measure the position of the spatial-phase system using a semiconductor sensor. Spatial position is expressed by the correlation of the rotated coordinate system attached to the body from the inertia coordinate system (a fixed coordinate system). To express the attitude, quaternion was adapted as a state variable, Then, the state changes were estimated from the input value which was measured in the gyro sensor. The observed data is the value obtained from the acceleration sensor. By matching between the measured value in the acceleration sensor and the predicted calculation value, the best variable was obtained. To increase the accuracy of estimation, designation of the extended Kalman filter was performed, which showed excellent ability to adjust the estimation period relative to the sensor property. As a result, when a three-axis gyro sensor and a three-axis acceleration sensor were adapted in the estimator, the RMS(Root Mean Square) estimation error in simulation was retained less than 1.7[$^{\circ}$], and the estimator displayed good property on the prediction of the state in 100 ms measurement period.

The purpose of this study was to the effects of the Sling Neurac stabilization exercise(SNSE) on pain, cervical lordosis angle(CLA), and cervical gravity line(CGL) in young adults with a forward head posture. The subjects of the study were selected as SNSEG(n=10) and control group(n=10), they were conducted for 70 minutes three times a week for 8 weeks. Study results showed that pain(p<.001), CGLe(p<.01) were significantly decreased and CLA(p<.001) were also significantly increased in the SNSEG. In conclusion, SNSE is effective in improving the proprioceptive sense of the LM group and activating the muscle. Co-activation with the GM group was found to be effective in improving the CLA and CGL. Therefore, reactivation of the deep neck flexors and suboccipital muscles is an important factor in pain control and postural alignment, and is suggested as an effective intervention method to improve forward head posture.
