Purpose: The goal of this study was to evaluate differences in strength deficits between (i) patients with stage 1 or 2 impingement syndrome and (ii) patients with rotator cuff tears. Materials and Methods: We enrolled 43 patients with stage 1 or 2 impingement syndrome (group 1) and 21 patients with rotator cuff tears (group 2). The isokinetic strength of both groups was evaluated at $60^{\circ}/sec$ for external rotation, internal rotation, adduction and abduction. We measured the peak torque, total work, average power of bilateral sides, peak torque relationship to body weight, and the ratio between unilateral agonist and antagonist. Results: The isokinetic strength deficits assessed in ratio of peak torque to body weight for group 1 and group 2 respectively were; $28.48{\pm}23.76%$ and $29.12{\pm}32.81%$ for abduction (p=0.929), $7.20{\pm}13.98%$ and $18.94{\pm}19.52%$; for adduction (p=0.021), $16.88{\pm}13.76%$ and $25.80{\pm}24.07%$; for external rotation (p=0.221), and $14.1{\pm}25.67%$ and $29.02{\pm}35.06%$ for internal rotation (p=0.059). For average power and total work, group 2 showed a significantly greater deficit for adduction and internal rotation than group 1. Conclusion: Those with rotator cuff tears have more isokinetic muscle strength deficits than those with stage 1 or 2 impingement syndrome. Progression from stage 1 and 2 impingement syndrome to stage 3 may result in greatest changes in strength deficits for internal rotation and adduction.

In most sports, a key evaluator of athletic performance is sprinting speed. There are two trainable factors associated with speed including mechanical efficiency and force production. The squat exercise is one of the beneficial exercises implemented to enhance lower extremity power for sprinters. However, there has been little research on the optimal exercise intensity for sprinting performance. This study was to investigate whether performing different squat exercises prior to a 40m sprint would improve running speed. Ten male high school sprinters performed six 40m sprints following the different squat intensities (30%, 50%, 70%, and 90% of 1RM). A one-way ANOVA with repeated measures revealed that 40m sprint times had significantly improved after 50% ($5.27{\pm}0.13$, p<0.0001) and 70% ($5.26{\pm}0.15$, p<0.0001) of 1RM squat exercises compared to sprint times not following a squat % ($5.33{\pm}0.16$). Performing squat exercises with intensities of 50% and 70% of 1RM may improve 40m sprint times. Therefore, it is suggested that coaches and sprinters could include a medium intensity squat exercise (70%) in the warm-up procedure in order to improve sprint performance.

This study was intended to implement ankle joint dorsi flexion training against ankle muscule strength weakening that erodes stroke patients' gait performance to examine the effect of the training on stroke patients' plantar pressure and gait ability. In this study, 36 stroke patients diagnosed with stroke due to cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage were divided to measure 10MWS which are stroke patients' gait variables maximum plantar pressure by area of the sole by collecting data using an F-scan system during gait. Given these results of the study, compared to other training groups, the ankle muscule strength reinforcing training group showed statistically significant increases of maximum plantar pressure in the great toe, the toe and the first metatasal areas too and thus it can be said that this training increases forward thrust during stroke patients' foot end taking off and positively affects stroke patients' ability to perform gait.

The purpose of this study was to quantify the isokinetic peak torque and range of motion at the shoulder in 8 national male volleyball players who played during the 2008 professional leagues. In this study the strength and range of motion data in the internal rotation(IR) and external rotation(ER) of shoulder joint were measured with isokinetic measurement system(Biodex Inc) and motion analysis system (Simi motion system Inc.) from 3 volleyball players with atrophy of the infrasupinatus and 5 volleyball players without atrophy of the infraspinatus. Peak torques were determined using isokinetic measurement on the shoulder joint rotator at the point of angular velocities of $60^{\circ}$/s. Significant difference was found in the peak torque, IR / ER ratio and the range of motion through assessment of the dominant shoulder between two groups. we recommended functional exercises that improve both external rotators strength and stretching exercise for internal rotation in the dominant side during the prevention programs in volleyball players.

상체 지원 외골격 로봇은 크게 인간의 근력을 보조하는 형태와 인간의 근력을 증강하는 형태가 있다. 여기서는 인간의 근력을 증강하는 외골격 로봇을 중심으로 기술하고자 한다. 이러한 외골격 로봇은 팔의 EMG (Electromyograph;근전도) 신호를 측정하는 방법보다는 손의 힘을 직접 감지하는 방법을 통한 팔꿈치와 어깨의 엑추에이터를 구동하는 방식을 취하는 경향이 있다. 본 논문에서도 후자의 방식을 이용하여 손에 작용하는 힘을 분석하여 외골격 로봇을 움직이는 방식을 취하였다. 손의 힘 중에서도 인간을 중심으로 볼 때 위방향과 전진방향의 힘을 분석하기 위하여 2개의 F/T(Force/Torque) 센서를 사용하였으며 팔을 벌리는 동작은 엑추에이터 없이 자유롭게 동작이 가능하도록 설계하였다. 이러한 위방향 및 전진방향 힘의 크기를 팔꿈치와 어깨의 엑추에이터의 동작으로 바꾸어 인간의 동작을 도울 수 있고 힘을 증폭할 수 있는 외골격 로봇을 설계 제작하였다. F/T 센서는 손의 힘을 전기적 신호로 바꾸어주는 로드셀로 이루어지며 손의 힘을 최대한 잘 반영하기 위한 구조를 고안하였다. F/T 센서의 전기신호는 증폭기를 거쳐서 잡음을 제거한 후에 A/D 변환하여 processor에서 처리되어진다.
