연구의 배경 앉은 자세에서 일어서기는 일상생활동작중 흔한 동작중의 하나이다. 노인들을 포함한 많은 환자들은 앉은 자세에서 일어서기에 어려움이 있고 속도가 감소한다. 이 연구의 목적은 다른 두 속도로 앉은 자세에서 일어서는 동작을 실행할 때 최대 지면반발력의 세개의 요소를 비교하는 것이다. 대상자 22명의 건강한 성인 (20-36세)을 대상으로 하였다. 실험방법 앉은 자세에서 일어서기동작 수행중 최대 지면반발력을 측정하기 위하여 힘판을 사용하였다. 대상자들은 메트로놈을 이용하여 각각 느린 속도 (3초: 총 앉은 자세에서 일어서기동작 수행시간)와 빠른 속도(1.5초)에서 앉은 자세에서 일어서기를 수행하였다. 느린 속도와 빠른 속도중 최대 지면반발력을 비교하기 위해 짝비교 t-검정을 사용하였다. 결과 빠른 속도시 최대 지면반발력의 수직(p<0.05), 전-후(p<0.05), 내-외(p<0.05) 요소에서 느린 속도시와 차이가 있었다. 최대 지면반발력의 모든 요소가 움직임의 속도의 증가에 비례하여 증가하였다. 토의 및 결론 빠른 속도의 앉은 자세에서 일어서기를 수행하기 위해서는 최대 지면반발력의 수직, 전-후요소의 추진력이 요구된다. 최대 지면반발력의 내-외요소는 상전방으로 작용하는 모멘트의 증가에 대한 제동력으로 생각된다. 또한, 빠른 속도로 앉은 자세에서 일어서기 동작을 수행하기 위하여 추진력은 일어서는 순간의 모멘트에 대한 지면반발력의 내-외요소에 영향을 미친다. 이라한 결과들은 앉은 자세에서 일어서기 동작에 어려움을 갖는 노인이나 환자들의 노력을 덜기위해 느린 속도의 움직임이 필요함을 제안한다.

본 연구의 목적은 힘판(Force plate)의 지면반발력(Ground reaction force)의 비교에 따라 발압력 측정계(F-메트와 F-스킨)의 상호 기계간의 신뢰성과 타당성을 연구하는 데에 목적을 두고 있으며 정상인과 리스프랑크(Lisfranc) 골절을 가지고 있는 환자를 대상으로 분석 연구하게 되었다. 힘판의 지면 반발력을 기준치로 설정하고 정상인과 환자의 각각 오른발과 왼발의 스텝에 대해 F 메트(F-mat) 와 F 스캔(F-scan) 시스템의 그래픽 비교 모식과 시간에따른 보령분석의 차이에 따라 이 논문에 대한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 F 스킨 시스템의 데이터 분석기인 새로운 버전 3.622와 마이크로 소프트웨어인 엑셀 97을 통해 새 시스템의 힘의 평균치와 그래픽을 통해 비교 분석하게 되었으며 다음과 같은 세가지 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 첫 번째로 F스캔의 지면 반발력은 힘판과 비교되어질 때 통계학적으로 중요한 차이점을 얻을 수 없을 것이다. 두 번째, F 메트를 위한 지면 반발력 역시 힘판과 비교되어질 때 통계학적으로 중요한 차이점율 얻음 수 없을 것이다. 세 번째로 정상군과 실험군의 지면 반발력에 대해 중요한 차이점이 있을 것이라는 것이 밝혀졌다. 특히 정상군의 대상자는 실험군의 대상자와 비교되어질 때 각 발에 대해 증가된 지면 반발력을 나타내었다. 이상 본 연구에 대해 다음의 결론을 내릴 수가 있었고 기존의 F 스캔 시스템이 임상적으로 많이 쓰여졌지만 F 스캔의 센서에 대해 많은 이견 차이를 보였었다. 한편. F메트 시스템에서 F메트 센서의 일관성에 대해서는 어느 연구 논문도 나오지 않았고 이에 대해 F스캔(F-scan)과 힘판(Force plate)를 상호 비교하여 F메트 시스템에 대한 신뢰성과 타당성을 연구하는데 목적을 두게되었다.

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 study, ground reaction force(GRF) and energy consumption of fixed. single-axis and multi-axis Prosthetic ankle assemblies were investigated to show the biomechanical evaluation for trans-tibial amputees. In the experiments. two male and two female trans-tibial amputees were tested with fixed, sin91e-axis and multi-axis Prosthetic ankle assembly. A three-dimensional gait analysis was carried out to derive the ratio of GRF to weight as the percentage of total stance Phase for nine Points Energy consumption of each Prosthetic ankle assembly was measured while subjects walked at 2km/h. 3km/h and the most comfortable walking speed on the treadmill The results showed that multi-axis ankle was superior to the other two ankle assemblies for the characteristic of forwarding and breaking forces. Fixed ankle was relatively superior to the other two ankle assemblies for gait balancing and movement of the center fur mass Compared to the other ankle assembly. sing1e-axis type showed lower energy consumption over 2.3km/h walking speed .

According to maximum horizontal ground reaction force analysis result, in the left foot placed in front, BS among excellent group and MS in non-excellent group showed the biggest reaction force value. In the right foot placed at the back, MS in both groups showed the biggest reaction force value. MS in the right foot of the excellent group was the biggest (0.83 BW). According to maximum vertical ground reaction force analysis result, in the left foot placed in front, ES among excellent group and BS in non-excellent group showed the biggest reaction force value. In the right foot placed at the back, BS among excellent group and MS in non-excellent group showed the biggest reaction force value.

In this study, ground reaction force(GRF), absolute symmetry index(ASI) and coefficient of variation(CV) of fixed, single-axis and multi-axis prosthetic ankle assemblies were investigated to show the biomechanical evaluation for above knee amputees. In the experiments, 37 normal male volunteers, two male and two female AK amputees were tested with fixed, single-axis and multi-axis prosthetic ankle assembly. A gait analysis was carried out to derive the ratio of GRF to weight as the percentage of total stance phase for ten points. The results showed that fixed-axis ankle was superior to the other two ankle assemblies for the characteristic of forwarding and breaking forces. Multi-axis ankle was relatively superior to the other two ankle assemblies for gait balancing and movement of the center for mass. single-axis ankle was relatively superior to the other two ankle assemblies for CV and ASI of GRF.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of gender difference in injury experience on biomechanical variables of lower extremity during two leg drop landing. 20 male(injury experience=8, non-injury experience=12) and 20 female(injury experience=11, non-Injury Experience=9) in their 20's were selected as subjects. Two-way mixed ANOVA was performed on the biomechanical variables obtained from the two leg drop landing in a 45cm height box and post-test was performed with bonferroni adjustment(p <.05). The results of this study suggest that the group of female who injury experience could induce the reduction of the peak vertical ground reaction force by increasing the valgus and internal rotation of the knee joint and flexion and internal rotation of the hip joint. In the INE(injury non-experienced) female group, the peak knee flexion angle was the smallest, as well as the flexion of the hip joint and the external rotation angle, and the peak vertical ground reaction force was the highest. On the other hand, the INE female group showed high vertical ground reaction force because they did not utilize the knee and hip joints relatively than the IE(injury experienced) female group, this means that it is relatively exposed to the risk of injury. Therefore, it was found that gender difference in injury experience is a factor affecting factors of knee and hip joint movement and peak vertical GRF(ground reaction force).

This paper proposes a control algorithm for quadruped robots moving on irregularly sloped uneven surfaces. Since the body balance of a quadruped robot is controlled by the forces acting on its feet during touchdown, the ground reaction force (GRF) is controlled for stable running. The desired GRF for each foot is generated on the basis of the desired galloping pattern; this GRF is then compared with the actual contact force. The difference between the two forces is used to modify the foot trajectory. The desired force is realized by considering a combination of the rate change of the angular and linear momenta at flight. Then, the amplitude of the GRF to be applied at each foot in order to achieve the desired linear and angular momenta is determined by fuzzy logic. Dynamic simulations of galloping motion were performed using RecurDyn; these simulations show that the proposed control method can be used to achieve stable galloping for a quadruped robot on irregularly sloped uneven surfaces.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of foot placement and height of bed surface on lumbar spine load in a dummy transfer activity. Fifteen healthy male students participated in this study. All subjects were involved in four different conditions according to foot placement (11 figure and $90^{\circ}$ figure) and height of bed surface (44 cm and 66 cm) randomly. Muscular activations of the biceps brachii, rectus femoris, elector spinae using surface-EMG, vertical ground reaction using force plate, and L4/L5 compression force using 3DSSPP (3D Static Strength Prediction Program) were measured and analysed. The results showed that muscular activations were not significantly different for the various conditions except for the rectus femoris on the right side (p<.05). Futhermore, the vertical ground reaction and L4/L5 compression force were significantly different conditions (p<.05). In conclusion, it is suggested that foot placement at $90^{\circ}$ figure is safer for transfer activity compared with the 11 figure.
