1) 연구배경 및 연구 목적 보행권 및 이동권은 인간의 기본권 중 하나이다. 지난 수십 년 간 보행약자1)들은 그들이 가진 장애 때문에 자유로이 이동하지 못하였고, 그 결과 정치적, 경제적, 사회적, 문화적으로 소외되어 온 것이 사실이다. 현실적으로, 휠체어 이용자들이 타인의 힘을 빌리지 않고 스스로의 힘으로 이동하는 것은 거의 불가능하다. (중략)

The purpose of the study is altering ready-made garments for the wheelchair users. Some alterations ready-made garments suggested for the wheelchair users are applicable to the physical conditions using the wheelchair, which create limitations in the use of clothing. Alterations ready-made garments were suggested 3 parts of the altering on the tops and 3 parts of the pants. Detachable sleeves at the elbow, adding the action pleats on the shoulder and back openings with zipper were adapted on the tops. The altering crotch length from the center back, changing position of the pocket and adding the pleats at the knee were adapted on the pants. The snap-tapes, zipper and hook & eye were used for the altering the ready-made garments.

본 논문에서는 손과 발을 자기의 의지대로 움직일 수 없는 장애인들이 전동 휠체어나 로봇 팔과 같은 보조 장치를 손, 발의 사용 없이 조작 할 수 있는 시스템 개발을 위한 연구에 대해서 소개한다. 손과 발을 사용하지 않고 전동 휠체어나 로봇 팔을 조작하려면 장애인의 의도를 파악하고 이 정보에 의한 구동 방식이 필요하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 장애인의 눈동자의 움직임과 머리의 움직임 그리고 음성 신호를 이용하여 보조 장치들을 구동시키고자 한다. 이를 구현하기 위해서는 시선의 방향을 측정할 수 있는 기술과 머리의 위치와 방향을 측정하는 기술, 그리고 음성으로 표현되는 간단한 명령들을 인식할 수 있는 기술이 필요하며, 이러한 기술의 통합을 바탕으로 보조장치들을 구동시키기 위한 편리한 사용자 지향의 인터페이스 기술을 개발하고자 한다.

This study is to investigate what the factors motivating the wheelchair basketball club members to participate in the wheelchair basketball club are and what the factors hindering the members from participating in the wheelchair basketball club are, based on which it has been conducted to explore the effective direction of the management of the wheelchair basketball club for the physically disabled persons in the future. For this study, a survey targeting 180 members currently participating in the wheelchair basketball clubs in Seoul, Gyeonggi, Chungcheong, Gyeongnam, Jeju areas has been conducted and the data gained from 144 respondents of them have been analyzed and its key results of this study are as follows. Firstly, the results of analyzing the physically disabled persons' motives of participation in the wheelchair basketball club show that the respondents have most frequently participated in the wheelchair basketball club by their motives of the pastime-oriented type, which was followed by the health-oriented one, then by the home-oriented one. The results of examining the difference in the motivations for participation based on the degree of participation in the wheelchair basketball club and on the social demographic characteristics of the club members show that there was a significant difference depending on the group by residence, the subjective health condition in the light of the pastime-oriented motives and there was significant difference depending on the age, the occupation, the group by residence, the frequency of participation. Secondly, according to the results of investigating and analyzing the factors hindering the members of the club from participating in the wheelchair basketball club for the physically disabled persons, the structural factors are found to have been the biggest hindrance factor of participation and there was a significant difference depending on the age, the highest level of education, the occupation, the frequency of participation in the club in verifying the difference in the hindrance factors of participation in the club in accordance with the social demographic characteristics of the club members and the frequency of participation in terms of internal factors. Based on the abovementioned research results, some future effective management strategies of the wheelchair basketball club for the physically disabled persons have been discussed.

Nowadays with advancement in technology and aging society, the number of disabled citizens is increasing. The disabled citizens always need a caretaker for daily life routines especially for mobility. In future, the need is considered to increase more. To reduce the burden from the disabled, various devices for healthcare are introduced using computer technology. The power wheelchair is an important and convenient mobility device. The demand of power wheelchair is increasing for assistance in mobility. In this paper we proposed a robotic wheelchair for mobility aid to reduce the burden from the disabled. The main issue in an autonomous wheelchair is the automatic detection and avoidance of obstacles and going to the pre-designated place. The proposed algorithm detects the obstacles and avoids them to drive the wheelchair to the desired place safely. By this way, the disabled will not always have to worry about paying deep attention to the surroundings and his path.

The purpose of this study was to propose a functional improvement solution of integrated control board for safe driving of Smart electric wheelchair for a single person. In the case of existing electric wheelchair products in Korea and elsewhere, safety-related functions or devices are not included in many cases. Therefore, the incidence of electric wheelchair-related accidents is continuously increasing in the current situation in which the elderly and the disabled people have been continuously increased. However, currently only high and middle-priced products are equipped with basic safety devices in electric wheelchairs, so low-priced products require safety related functions. Therefore, sensing obstacles that the user can not recognize while moving an electric wheelchair and detecting automatically the terrain change to control the motor by developing a smart control platform. This provides an integrated control board that can be applied to various electric wheelchairs for more stable driving.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the impact on the basic psychological needs and emotional and motor sports commitment to participate in 12 weeks of Physically Disabled wheelchair tennis class. Results: First, the basic psychological needs is a difference between groups was found in the autonomy and the relationship of the sub-factors autonomy, competence, was the difference in time measured between the castle. Second, the movement was born immersed in the measuring point to see a difference in cognitive involvement and engagement of sub-behavior factors, the mutual effects were measured at the time of the two groups and sub-factors. Third, the movement was born in sentiment appears to have overlooked the measurement point in the sub-group differences in factors such as positive emotions and negative emotions, collective and cross effects were measured at the time of the two sub-factors. Subsequent studies in qualitative research, as well as be able to induce a more active ongoing participation of the disabled being difficult to draw parallel with the subjective experience of people with disabilities, it is thought to be possible to develop a variety of programs.

The objective of this study is to kinematically analyze forehand & backhand strokes of abscission handicap wheelchair table tennis athletes. The participant of this study were picked out of national athletes who have abscission handicap. Forehand stroke movement was expected to show a throw like motion. However, external rotation and internal rotation of the right arm created a backswing and an impact. Backhand stroke was expected to show a push like motion, and as expected, proximal part of the body didn't participate in the stroke motion, but the distal part, the right arm, rotated internally to backswing and external rotated to impact to form a push like motion. Forehand swing was expected to show throw like motion according to the Link Segmental System principle. However, abscission handicap athlete didn't show clear linking structure connecting proximal and distal parts. Successful strokes were dependant only on the angle of arm rotation.

In this paper, we propose a gaze recognition interface for smart wheelchair. The gaze recognition interface is a user interface which recognize the commands using the gaze recognition and avoid the detected obstacles by sensing the distance through range sensors on the way to driving. Smart wheelchair is composed of gaze recognition and tracking module, user interface module, obstacle detector, motor control module, and range sensor module. The interface in this paper uses a camera with built-in infra red filter and 2 LED light sources to see what direction the pupils turn to and can send command codes to control the system, thus it doesn't need any correction process per each person. The results of the experiment showed that the proposed interface can control the system exactly by recognizing user's gaze direction.
