The purpose of this study were to examine the effect of two different pelvic alignments and the back belt on electromyographic(EMG) activity of the erector spinae during lifting. The results were as follows: 1) EMG activity of erector spinae was greater when the pelvis was tilted anteriorly than when the pelvis was tilted posteriorly during lifting. 2) EMG activity of erector spinae was greater when the back belt than when without the back belt during lifting. These results suggest that the greater EMG activity of erector spinae with an anterior pelvic tilt position and with back belt during lifting may ensure optimal muscular support for the spine while handling loads.

현재 사용하고 있는 안전대는 벨트가 허리와 엉덩이 부분에 매여지도록 되어 있고, 충격흡수능력이 부족하여 추락시 허리나 하반신을 다치게 할 수 있으며 중량이 무겁다는 결점이 있다. 또한 이 제품은 작업복 위에 별도로 착용해야 하는 번거로움이 있어서 근로자들이 이의 착용을 기피하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 근로자가 실수하여 추락을 한다고 하여도 추락시 충격흡수가 완만하되 정확하여 충격에 의한 상처나 허리부상이 없고 착용하기가 편리한 새로운 안전보호장구를 고안 제시하려 한다.(중략)

본 논문에서는 한류의 영향으로 그 관심이 증가되고 있는 신한복 커스터마이징 시스템 개발을 위해 신한복 치마 패턴개발에 필요한 기초자료를 얻고자 시판 6개 신한복 브랜드의 치마 패턴을 비교분석하였다. 같은 디자인의 free사이즈 치마임에도 불구하고 각기 다른 치수로 제작되는 것으로 나타났다. 치마길이는 17cm, 허리벨트길이는 29cm, 허리벨트폭은 4.5cm, 끈길이는 72.7cm, 치마길이는 17.0cm, 치마폭은 90.5cm의 차이를 나타냈다. 같은 신한복 치마임에도 브랜드에 따라 치수 차이가 큰 것으로 분석되어 치수규격의 정리가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 한국 성인여성의 신체치수를 분석하여 그에 적합한 신한복 치마 패턴 개발이 이루어져야 함을 알 수 있다.

When we keep sitting for a long time, we end up with pain due to changes in the curvature in the waist. This study examined impacts from the wearing of a SPINE-GUARD(belt for the waist stabilization) on a cross-legged sit on variations of the Cobb's angle, lower back pain and trunk flexion angle. 15 men for the examination have watched movies or attended lectures while wearing a belt for 90 minutes per round for every five rounds for two weeks. The Cobb's angle showed a significant decrease from $48.36{\pm}14.57$ before wearing to $28.09{\pm}11.63$ after wearing (p<0.05). Pain decreased from $4.53{\pm}2.36$ before wearing to $2.733{\pm}2.153$ after wearing (p<0.05). The trunk flexion angle also showed a significant decrease from $82.33{\pm}20.30$ before wearing to $70.2{\pm}19.43$ after wearing (p<0.05). Given these findings, the wearing of a SPINE-GUARD seems to affect variations of the Cobb's angle and trunk flexion angle, and decrease of lower back pain.

최근 국내에서 유행하기 시작한 스키니 진(skinny jean)은 혈액순환 장애, 하복부 장기에 가해지는 압력으로 인하여 소화불량, 변비 또는 생리불순 등 여성 건강을 위협하는 의복 종류이다. 본 연구의 목적은 의복의 쾌적성을 측정할 수 있는 척도인 의복압 검사와 스키니 진의 주관적인 착용감 검사 통하여 의복의 기능적인 면에서 인체의 건강에 적합한지 분석하고자 함이다. 사이즈 코리아를 참고하여 선정한 20대 여성의 평균 사이즈에 해당하는, 인지도 높은 3개 브랜드의 청바지를 시료로 사용하여 4명의 피험자에게 착용하게 한 후, 동작을 변화시키며 변화하는 의복압을 측정하고 주관적 감각 평가를 실시하였다. 첫째, 의복압 측정결과, 엉덩이 최대 돌출 부위가 자세와 상관없이 의복압이 가장 높게 나왔고 무릎 부위 Standing 자세에서 sitting down on the floor 자세로 변할수록 의복압이 높게 나왔다. 둘째, 주관적 감각에 대한 평가 결과는 모든 자세에서 허리벨트 부위가 가장 압박감을 크게 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 의복압과 주관적 감각의 관계분석에 있어서 스키니 진의 대부분의 부위에서 의복압이 높을수록 압박감을 느끼는 것으로 나타났으나 대퇴부 부위는 의복압이 낮은데도 불구하고 압박감을 크게 느끼는 것으로 나타났다.

연구의 목적은 지체장애인들의 신체적 특성을 고려하여 움직이기 편하면서 외관이 보기 좋은 기능성 의복을 제작하는데 있다. 휠체어, 크러치를 사용하는 여성 장애인을 대상으로 쟈켓, 바지, 휠체어 랩을 제작하여 외관상 기성복과 차이가 나지 않으면서 보조기구를 사용하는데 불편함이 없는 디자인을 제시하였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 휠체어사용자 쟈켓은 어깨와 팔의 동작을 쉽게 하기 위해서 뒤 bodice 소매둘레부위에 artion pleats를 주었으며 팔꿈치 부위에 주름으로 처리하여 당김과 움직임을 수월하게 하였다. 바지는 허리선 위치를 수정하고 굽혀져 있는 무릎부위에 앞은 주름, 뒤는 다아트로 처리하였다. 둘째, 크러치 사용자는 전체적으로 외관이 올라간 것처럼 보이는 것을 막기 위하여 쟈켓 길이를 길게 하고 쟈켓 위에 조끼를 덧입은 것처럼 보이게 하였다. 바지의 허리선은 고무벨트를 달았으며 양쪽 옆트임을 하여 지퍼를 달았다. 셋째, 휠체어 랩은 방수와 방한을 대비하여 만든 옷으로 전체적인 외관이 롱 원피스 형이며 발부위에 사각형 발판을 만들어 바람이 들어오지 못하도록 하였고, 양쪽 옆 지퍼를 사용하여 여밈 처리하였다.

The purpose of this study was to compare the postural muscle activity during wearing a lead apron with and without applying waist belt at working posture. Ten healthy male subjects were recruited for this study. Electromyography using a surface EMG recorded the activity of the splenius capitis, trapezius, and erector spinae. EMG activity was recorded at quiet standing, 45 degrees of neck flexion, 45 degrees of neck flexion with 15 degrees of trunk flexion. The testing order was selected randomly. The subjects were asked to maintain the each posture for 3 minutes. The mean root mean square (RMS) of EMG activity was calculated. EMG activity was normalized using the maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) elicited using a manual muscle testing technique. Two-factor repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the average RMS value of EMG activity for each condition. The EMG activity of trapezius muscle was significantly decreased with applying waist belt (p<.05). The muscle activity of splenius capitis and erector spinae showed significant difference according to postures (p<.05). These results suggest that applying waist belt during wearing a lead apron will be useful to prevent shoulder pain.

Background: Manual traction with a belt is a physiotherapy treatment method that reduces disk pressure and widens the disk space. In clinical settings, it is applied to numerous patients with herniated intervertebral disk (HIVD). This study aimed to identify the effects of manual traction with a belt on the intervertebral space in patients with lumbar HIVDs. Methods: The intervention was performed on 17 patients with lumbar HIVDs who were divided into two groups: one with eight patients having HIVD at L4~L5 and another group with nine patients having HIVD at L5~S1. The participants received manual traction with a belt twice a week for 12 weeks, and radiographic imaging was used to visualize the intervertebral space and compare it before and after treatment. Results: Manual traction with a belt increased the lumbar intervertebral space at L4~L5 and L5~S1 in patients with L4~L5 HIVD. A significant difference was observed in the L4-L5 distance (p<.01); however, no significant difference was observed in the L5~S1 distance (p>.05). The intervertebral space significantly increased at both L4~L5 and L5~S1 in patients with L5~S1 HIVD (p<.05). Conclusion: Thus, manual traction with a belt increased the intervertebral space in patients with L4~L5 and L5~S1 HIVDs. These results are expected to guide studies on manual traction with belts in clinical settings in the future. Further studies using the present research as an objective study method are anticipated.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the differences of visual effects by variations in the location of the waistline and the width of the round belt of the basic skirt. The stimuli are 21 samples: 7 variations of the location of the waistline and 3 variations of the width of the belt. The data has been obtained from 43 fashion design majors. The data has analyzed by frequency, factor analysis, anova, scheffe's test and the MCA method. The results of this study are as follows. The visual effects by variations of the location of the waistline and the width of the belt are composed of 3 factors: the shape of the front part of the abdomen, the shape of the side part of the abdomen, and the length of the upper body. The visual effects by variations of the width of the belt have partial significant differences. The visual effects by variations in the location of the waistline have significant differences in all factors. The interaction effects between the location of the waistline and the width of the belt have not significant differences in all factors.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the differences of visual image by variations in the location of the waistline and width of the belt of the basic skirt. The stimuli are 21 samples: 7 variations of the location of the waistline and 3 variations of the width of the belt. The data has been obtained from 43 fashion design majors. The data has analyzed by frequency, factor analysis, anova, scheffe's test and the MCA method. The results of this study are as follows. The visual image by variations of the location of the waistline and width of the belt is composed of 3 factors: attention, function, attraction. The visual image by variations of the width of the belt has partial significant differences. The visual image by variations in the location of the waistline has significant differences in all factors. Function shows the interaction between the location of the waistline and width of the belt. However, attention and attraction don't show the interaction between the location of the waistline and width of the belt ; the location of the waistline tends to be the main effect.
