This study examined the effects of the location and direction of the scolioti curve on postural balance in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Fifteen subjects were divided into three groups: right thoracic curve group, left lumbar curve group, and double curve group. The dynamic trunk motion (angle variation in the lumbar, thoracolumbar, lower thoracic and upper thoracic region) and plantar pressure distribution (maximum force and peak pressure) were assessed using an ultrasound-based motion analysis system and Emed-at platform system. From the results, it was confirmed that patients with idiopathic scoliosis showed postural imbalance with an increased angle and pressure asymmetry according to the location and direction of the scoliotic curve for dynamic trunk motion and plantar pressure distribution. In addition, there were differences in the postural balance pattern between the single curve and double curve groups. Further studies for developing a rehabilitation training device will be conducted to improve the postural control ability and trunk balance as well as treat scoliosis based on the results of this study.

In determining the cause of dysmenorrhea, it is necessary to investigate postural alignment and balance. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze whether there is a difference in posture alignment and foot pressure balance according to the dysmenorrhea degree. The subjects were twenty female students in their 20s, who had pain caused by dysmenorrhea. According to the degree of dysmenorrhea, the subjects were divided into mild and severe groups. In the results, there was a significant difference only in shoulder height asymmetry angle between the mild and severe groups (p<0.05), and there was no significant difference in pelvic and knee joint alignment. In the correlation analysis, there was a significant positive correlation between the dysmenorrhea score (MDQ) and shoulder height asymmetry angle was found. These results indicate that dysmenorrhea symptom and asymmetric alignment of shoulder are related. To analyze these factors, further research will need to investigate the correlation between dysmenorrhea and spinal alignment.

This study aimed to investigate the association of the muscle activity around the neck of the operator(dental hygienists') according to the change in the patient's neck angle during a direct visual inspection on the maxillary right-side molar palatal surface. The operators were $4^{th}$ year dental hygiene students, who are future dentalhy gienists, having accurate understanding on and awareness of the location of the operation site, hand fixation, and how to use the tools. Data on the change in the muscle activity around the neck were collected by using surface electromyography and neck goniometer. SPSS statistics 20 was used for statistical analyses including Shapiro-wilk test and one-way ANOVA. As a result, the activities of the operator upper trapezius, cervical erector spinae, and levator scapulae muscles significantly decreased when the patient's head was angled compared to when it was not. For the angle of the operator head, the head bend significantly decreased when the patient's head was angled than when it was not. Based on the study results, it is expected that angling the patient's head when treating his or her teeth will decrease the excessive muscle activity around the neck of the operator, and will reduce muscle fatigue. Therefore, angling the head of the patient while treating his or her teeth is recommended. This suggests that muscle pain caused by repetitive actions in the wrong posture can be reduced.

현재 국내에서는 교통사고 재현 방법이 노면 흔적물에 의존하여 이루어지고 있고, 노면 흔적물이 없는 경우 교통사고 재현은 불가능하게 된다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 외국에서는 충돌모델을 이용한 교통사고 재현프로그램을 활용하고 있는 추세이다. 현재 우리나라에서 가장 많이 사용하는 교통사고 재현 프로그램 PC-CRASH를 활용하기 위해서는 각 사고마다 알맞은 충돌특성 인자 값을 사용자가 직접 입력하여 사용하여야 하나, 이를 활용할 수 있는 활용자료가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 국내에서 실제 발생된 교통사고 사례에 대해 교통사고 재현 프로그램인 PC-CRASH와 충돌에 영향을 미치는 충돌 인자들로 교통사고를 재현하였고, 차량의 최종위치간 거리와 자세에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 알아보았다. 또한 실제 역 해석을 하기 위해 차량의 최종위치와 자세만으로 각각의 사례에 적절한 인자값을 추정할 수 있는 회귀식을 구성하였고, 통계적으로 신뢰성을 검증하였다. 사고 재현에 필요한 주요 충돌인자들의 초기치 설정시 추정식을 이용할 경우, 사고 재현 프로그램 활용 시, 시간 단축 효과를 프로그램 내부에 있는 유전자 알고리즘의 반복횟수로 추정식의 통계적 검증을 하였다.

제품이나 환경에 대한 인간의 반응은 생리적 변화로 나타나기도 하지만, 동작 반응(motor-response)으로 나타나기도 한다. 특히 제품으 감성적 설계를 위해서는 가장 기본적으로 이를 조작하는 인체의 자세와 동작에 대한 분석을 필요로 한다. 본 연구는 이를 위해 3차원 동작측정시스템과 힘판(forceplatform)에서 얻어진 원시 데이터로부터 인체의 자세와 동작을 평가하는 소프트웨어를 개발하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 개발된 소프트웨어는 누락 (mission)된 데이터의 보간(interpolation), 동작 애니메이션, 관절의 각도계산, 관절에서의 모멘트(momint)계산 기능등을 포함하고 있다. 본 논문은 진공청소기를 사용하는 동작을 기준으로, 이러한 S/W 개발 과정에 사용한 인체 모델과 각 관절의 모멘트 계산 방법에 대해 주로 기술 하였다. 3차원 동작측정시스템과 본 소프트웨어를 이용하면, 진공청소기, 냉장고 등의 제품을 사용할 때의 사용자의 작업 자세와 부하 평가가 가능해져 감성공학적 제품 개발에 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

In order to improve a camera rotation calculation based on the bundle adjustment in Chon's camera motion (Chon and Shankar, 2007, 2008), this paper introduces a method calculating the camera rotation. It estimates a unit vector in the optical axis of a camera through the angles between the optical axis and vectors passing a camera position and ground control points (GCP). The camera position is estimated by using the inner product method proposed by Chon. The horizontal and vertical unit vectors of the camera are determined by using Yakimovsky and Cunningham's camera model (CAHV) (1978).

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of bridging using Swiss ball, whole body vibration (WBV), and mat on trunk and lower extremity muscle activity and postural stability. The results were as follows: 1) EMG activity of internal oblique increased significantly in WBV condition compared with mat condition (p<.05). 2) EMG activity of rectus femoris and medial gastrocnemius increased significantly in Swiss ball condition and WBV condition compared with mat condition (p<.05). 3) The muscle activity of medial hamstrings increased significantly in Swiss ball condition compared with mat condition (p<.05). 4) The limit of stability in three groups increased significantly in all directions after 4-week intervention (p<.05). 5). There were no significant differences in the limit of stability among three groups after 4-week intervention (p>.05). Therefore the trunk and lower extremity muscle activity increased in Swiss ball and WBV conditions, and postural stability was improved in three groups after intervention period.

The Study In order to obtain images of overlap of the two iron cores in the spinal cord simple x-ray scan after surgery of patients with ulcer lateral sclerosis and a fractured backbone, the researcher conducted a subjective evaluation on five radiographers of the university hospital's imaging department for more than 10 years. The results of the experiment showed that the lateral shot of lateral scoliosis of the spinal cord was taken with the middle face of the IR plane, and then the X-ray tube angle was taken vertically with the vertical spinal column fan-tom position, resulting in two overlapping images and high scores in the subjective evaluation. In addition, lateral shots of the lumbar dislocation fractured lumbar vertebrae were taken with the forehead aligned with the center of the IR plane and then with the X-ray angle perpendicular to the fourth waistline and the angle of the spinal cord perpendicular to the fourth waistline, the image of the two iron cores could be obtained from the radiographer.

주어진 영상에서 인체를 찾고 그 자세를 인식하기 위해 자세나 조영 조건의 변화에 됨 민감한 방법으로 구성요소에 기반한 접근이 있다. 본 논문에서는 10개의 구성요소와 그들간의 유연한 연결로 구성된 인체모델을 사용한다. 각 구성요소는 기하학적, 명시적, 다른 구성요소와의 연결요소에 대한 정보로 구성되어 있다. 인체구성요소 사이의 계층적 연결은 일반-상세 탐색으로 시간효율적인 인체 매칭을 가능케 한다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 인체를 찾을 때마다 인체 구성요소를 갱신함으로써 자세 및 조명 변화에 보다 적응적으로 자세를 추정하는 방법을 제안한다.
