Oral implants must fulfill certain criteria arising from special demands of function, which include biocompatibility, adequate mechanical strength, optimum soft and hard tissue integration, and transmission of functional forces to bone within physiological limits. And one of the critical elements influencing the long-term uncompromise functioning of oral implants is load distribution at the implant- bone interface, Factors that affect the load transfer at the bone-implant interface include the type of loading, material properties of the implant and prosthesis, implant geometry, surface structure, quality and quantity of the surrounding bone, and nature of the bone-implant interface. To understand the biomechanical behavior of dental implants, validation of stress and strain measurements is required. The finite element analysis (FEA) has been applied to the dental implant field to predict stress distribution patterns in the implant-bone interface by comparison of various implant designs. This method offers the advantage of solving complex structural problems by dividing them into smaller and simpler interrelated sections by using mathematical techniques. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stresses induced around the implants in bone using FEA, A 3D FEA computer software (SOLIDWORKS 2004, DASSO SYSTEM, France) was used for the analysis of clinical simulations. Two types (external and internal) of implants of 4.1 mm diameter, 12.0 mm length were buried in 4 types of bone modeled. Vertical and oblique forces of lOON were applied on the center of the abutment, and the values of von Mises equivalent stress at the implant-bone interface were computed. The results showed that von Mises stresses at the marginal. bone were higher under oblique load than under vertical load, and the stresses were higher at the lingual marginal bone than at the buccal marginal bone under oblique load. Under vertical and oblique load, the stress in type I, II, III bone was found to be the highest at the marginal bone and the lowest at the bone around apical portions of implant. Higher stresses occurred at the top of the crestal region and lower stresses occurred near the tip of the implant with greater thickness of the cortical shell while high stresses surrounded the fixture apex for type N. The stresses in the crestal region were higher in Model 2 than in Model 1, the stresses near the tip of the implant were higher in Model 1 than Model 2, and Model 2 showed more effective stress distribution than Model.

It has been held that excessive mechanical forces to the osseous and soft tissues of the TMJ result in joint dysfunction. Understanding the stress pattern on TMJ is very important in TMJ research. But, it is very difficult to measure directly the biomechanical stress distribution in the TMJ when the mandible is loaded. Therefore, stress distribution in the TMJ during functional movement was studied through animal experiment or mathematical model. It was observed and compared the stress distribution occuring in the working and balancing condyle when lower right canine, lower right first molar and lower right second molar were clenched by the three dimensional finite element analysis. Also, stress distribution in the working and balancing condyles were observed and compared when $20^{\circ}$ forward and buccal bite forces were applied to the first molar. The results were as follows : 1. Stress distribution in the condyles during unilateral clenching of the first molar, second molar, canine showed no difference. In the working condyle, tensile force was concentrated on the lateral aspect of the condylar articular surface and condylar neck. And compressive force was concentrated on the anteromedial and lateral aspect of condyle. In the balancing condyle, tensile and compressive forces were concentrated on the lateral aspect of the condylar articular surface and stress transmission to the temporal bone was not observed. 2. When lateral forces were applied to the first molar, tensile forces were concentrated on the medial aspect of the condylar neck and condylar posterior surface in working and balancing condyle. Compressive force was concentrated on the anteromedial and lateral surface of the condyle and stress transmission to the temporal bone was not observed. 3. During unilateral clenching, stress in the working condyle decreased as the occlusal load moved posteriorly while the stress in the balancing condyle increased. when lateral force was applied to first molar, the incremental amount of stress was greater than vertical load. 4. During unilateral clenching, the average balancing/working condyle stress ratio was 2.52. There was a greater concentration of stress in the balancing condyle. The ratio increased as the occlusal load moved posteriorly and decreased considerably when lateral forces were applied to the first molar.

본 연구의 목적은 현대 스포츠가 점점 스피디하고 격렬한 상황의 연출을 요구하고 있는 상황에서 순간적으로 신속 정확한 판단력과 그에 따른 재빠르고 민첩한 행동이 필요할 때가 많으므로 준비동작에 대한 운동역학적 메카니즘의 이해가 필요하다고 판단되어 연구를 실시하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 준비동작의 형태 변화(open stance & cross stance)에 따른 신체움직임을 운동역학적인 분석을 통하여 바람직한 준비동작의 모델을 제시하는데 있으며, 이러한 연구 목적을 달성하기 위하여 연구대상자는 부산 B대학교 핸드볼 선수인 남학생 5명과 부산 S대학교 사격 선수인 여학생 5명을 선정하여 실험하였다. 준비자세에서의 좌 우 전방향으로 이동시의 동작을 2대의 고속 비디오 카메라와 2대의 지면반력기 그리고 전신반응측정 장비를 이용하여 자료를 수집하였고, 준비자세에서의 좌 우 전방향 이동시의 메카니즘을 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 첫째, 준비자세에서 좌 우 전방향 이동시 cross stance 자세가 open stance 자세 보다 신체중심이동 속도가 빠른 것으로 분석되었으며, Take-off시 슬관절의 굴곡각은 약 $175^{\circ}$의 각도를 유지하고, 고관절의 굴곡각은 약 $172^{\circ}$의 각도를 유지하여 준비자세를 취하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째, 준비자세에서의 좌 우 전방향으로 이동시 지지시간과 지면반력분석 결과를 종합해 보면 준비동작에서 왼쪽방향으로 이동시 가장 빠른 신체중심이동 속도를 나타냈다. 셋째, 준비자세에서 좌 우 전방향 이동시 지면반력 분석 결과에서도 cross stance 자세가 open stance 자세보다는 왼발과 오른발에 체중을 적절히 분산시켜 준비동작을 수행할 수 있도록 하여 상해를 예방할 수 있으므로 cross stance 준비자세가 바람직한 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 준비자세의 역학적인 메가니즘은 cross stance 자세가 open stance 자세보다 보다 바람직한 준비자세라고 할 수 있으나 반드시 개인차도 고려되어져야 할 것이다.

최근 COVID-19 팬데믹 등 다양한 이유로 인해 바이오 헬스케어 시장이 전세계적으로 활성화되고 있다. 그 중, 생체정보 측정 및 분석 기술은 앞으로의 기술적 혁신성과 사회경제적 파급효과를 불러일으킬 것으로 예측된다. 기존의 시스템은 생체 신호를 받아 신호 처리를 하는 과정에서 신호 송×수신부, 운영체제, 센서, 그리고 인터페이스를 구동하기 위한 대용량 배터리를 필수적으로 요구한다. 하지만, 배터리 용량의 한계가 인해 시×공간적인 기기 사용의 제한을 야기하며, 이는 사용자의 헬스케어 모니터링에 필요한 데이터의 단절에 대한 원인으로 작용할 수 있으므로 헬스케어 디바이스의 큰 걸림돌 중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 생체정보 측정 장치에 접촉대전 효과(Triboelectric effects)와 전자기유도 효과(Electro-magnetic effects)를 융합하여, 외부 전원을 요구하지 않는 독립 구동이 가능한 시스템을 구성하여 시×공간적으로 사용 제한이 없는 소형 생체정보 측정 모듈을 설계 및 검증했다. 특히, 다양한 헬스케어 모니터링 중 족압 계측을 통해 사용자의 보행 습관 등을 파악할 수 있는 무선 족압 계측 모니터링 시스템을 검증했다. 보행 시 발생하는 접촉×분리 움직임에서 접촉대전 효과를 이용한 효과적인 압력 센서와 압력에 따른 전기적 출력신호를 통해 족압 센서를 만들고, 축전기를 이용한 신호처리 회로를 통해 이의 동적 거동을 계측할 수 있다. 또한, 출력된 전기신호의 무선 송×수신용 전원으로 사용하기 위해 전자기 유도 효과를 이용하여 보행 시 생기는 생체역학적 에너지를 전기에너지로 수확했다. 따라서, 이번 연구는 사용자가 제한적인 배터리 용량 때문에 생기는 충전에 대한 불편함을 줄일 수 있고, 뿐만 아니라 데이터 단절에 대한 문제점을 극복할 수 있는 방법으로서 큰 잠재력을 보여줌을 시사한다.

상용 임플란트의 표면을 개질하기 위해 물리적, 화학적 방법을 이용한 새로운 표면이 증가하고 있으며 이에 대한 골반응도 다를 것으로 예상할 수 있지만 대부분의 연구는 단순히 기계절삭형 임플란트와의 비교만을 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 4종의 다른 개질된 표면을 가진 상용 임플란트를 가토의 경골에 식립한 후 생역학적, 조직형태학적으로 비교하였다. 연구 결과, 모든 임플란트는 6주 후 안정적인 골유착을 이루고 있었으며 4종의 표면개질의 차이에 의한 공진주파수 및 조직형태학적 골반응의 차이는 없었으며 표면개질을 비교하기 위해 피질골 하방으로 증식한 골을 비교하는 것이 유용하였다. 생역학적, 조직형태학적 골반응에 비해 미세단층촬영(micro-CT)를 이용하는 비교법은 유용성과 정확도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

Distraction osteogenesis is a well-established clinical treatment for limb length discrepancy and skeletal deformities. Appropriate mechanical tension-stress is believed not to break the callus but rather to stimulate osteogenesis. In contrast to fracture healing, the mode of bone formation in distraction osteogenesis is primarily intramembranous ossification. Although the biomechanical, histological, and ultrastructural changes associated with distraction osteogenesis have been widely described, the basic biology of the process is still not well known. Moreover, the molecular mechanisms in distraction osteogenesis remain largely unclear. Recent studies have implicated the growth factor cascade is likely to play an important role in distraction. And current reserch suggested that mechanical tension-stress modulates cell shape and phenotype, and stimulates the expression of the mRNA for bone matrix proteins. The purpose of this study is to examine the pattern of expression of growth factors($TGF-{\beta}1$, IGF-I, bFGF) and extracellular matrix proteins(osteoclacin, osteonectin) related to osteogenesis by osteodistraction of the mandible in rabbits. 24 rabbits is used for this experiment. Experimental group are gradual distraction(0.7mm, twice/day), acute distraction(1.4mm, twice/day) and control group is only osteotomized. After 5 days latency, osteotomic site is distracted for each 7 days and 3.5 days. Consolidation period is 28 days. The animal is sacrificed at the 3th, 7th, 14th, 28th. The distracted bone is examined by immunohistochemical analysis and RT-PCR analysis. The results obtained from this study were as follow : No significant difference was found on clinical examination according to distraction rate, but gradual distraction was shown to improve regenerate bone formation on radiographic and histologic examination. Growth factors and extracelluar matrix proteins expression increased in distraction group than control group. From these results, it could be stated that graudal distraction is shown to improve and accelerate bone formation and mechanical stress like distraction has considerable effects on osteogenesis related factors. And rabbit is the most appropriate animal model for further reseach on the molecular mechanisms that mediate osteodistraction. It is believed that understanding the biomolecular mechanisms that mediate distraction osteogenesis may guide the development of targeted strategies designed to improve distraction osteogenesis and accelerate bone healing.

There are three designs of thread form in screw type implants: V-thread, Reverse buttress thread and Square thread. The purpose of this study was to find out how thread form designs have an influence on the equivalent stress, equivalent strain, maximum shear stress and maximum shear strain and which design of thread form generates more maximum equivalent stress and strain. 3-D finite element analysis was used to evaluate the stress and strain patterns of three tread types. The results of this study were as follow. 1. Under the 200N of axial load, the value of maximum equivalent stress is smallest in square thread and there is no significant difference between that of V thread and reverse buttress thread. 2. Under the 200N of axial load, the value of maximum equivalent strain is largest in V thread and smallest in square thread. 3. Under the 200N of axial load, the value of maximum shear stress is smallest in square thread and there is no significant difference between that of V thread and reverse buttress thread. 4. Under the 200N of axial load, the value of maximum equivalent strain is largest in V thread and there is no significant difference between that of square thread and reverse buttress thread. 5. Above results show that the square thread has special advantages in stress and strain compared with other thread types, especially in shear stess which is most determinant to implant-bone interface. Considering the superior biomechanical properties of square form implant, we presume that square form implant has better clinical results than the other types of implants in the same clinical conditions.

The purpose of this study was to compare the v-shape thread with the square shape thread of fixture in the view of stress distribution pattern using finite element stress analysis. The finite element model was designed with the parallel placement of two standard fixtures(4.0 mm diameter ${\times}$ 11.5 mm length) on the region of mandibular 1st and 2nd molars. Three dimensional finite element model was created with the components of the implant and surrounding bone. This study simulated loads of 200 N at the central fossa in a axial direction (load A), 200 N at the buccal offset load that is 2 mm apart from central fossa in a axial direction (load B), 200 N at the buccal offset load that was 4 mm apart from central fossa in a axial direction (load C). These forces of load A',B',C' were applied to a $15^{\circ}$ inward oblique direction at that same site with 200 N. Von Mises stress values were recorded and compared in the supporting bone, fixture, and abutment screw. The following results have been made based on this study : 1. The highest stress concentration occurred at the cervical region of the implant fixture. 2. Von Mises stress value of off-site region was higher than that of central fossa region. 3. Square shape thread type showed more even stress distribution in the vertical and oblique force than V-shape thread type. 4. Stress distribution was the most effective in the case of buccal offset load (2, 4 mm distance from central fossa) in the square shape thread type. 5. V-shape thread type revealed higher von Mises stress value than square shape thread type in all environmental condition. The results from numerical analyses concluded that square shape thread type had the lower destructive stress and more stress distribution between the fixture and bone interface than V-shape thread type. Therefore, square shape thread type was regarded as optimal thread configuration in biomechanical concepts.

인체의 근골격계 모델을 이용해 근력을 예측하기 위해서는 인체 및 근육의 물성치를 알아야 한다. 하지만 이러한 물성치들은 측정하기도 어렵고 사람마다 편차도 크다. 따라서 이러한 물성치들의 변화에 따라 근력이 얼마나 달라지는지 예측할 필요가 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 인체 및 근육 물성치의 불확실성을 고려하여 의자에서 일어서는 동작 시 인체 하지부의 근력을 예측하는 절차를 정립하는 것이다. 인체 하지부는 8 개의 Hill-type 근육-건 모델이 포함되어 있는 다물체 시스템으로 모델링 하였다. 이 모델은 시상면(sagittal plane)에서 평면운동을 하는 4 자유도 시스템이다. 각 근력은 일어서는 운동을 하는 동안 근육이 소모한 에너지가 최소화 되도록 근력이 결정된다는 가정 하에 최적화 방법을 이용하여 구하였다. 또한 인체 물성치가 불확실성을 가질 때 근력의 표준편차를 First Order Reliability Method 를 이용해 구하였다. 그 결과 주동근 근력의 표준편차는 150~300N 로 상당히 크게 계산되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Many studies have reported that housework done using household appliances may affect biomechanical characteristics of the musculoskeletal system. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of housework done using a pulsator washing machine on joints and muscles. We calculated joint torques and muscle strengths on the basis of an experimental/virtual three-dimensional motion analysis for six healthy females using the pulsator washing machine at different heights (H) and depths (D) of the inside drum (H (mm){\times}D (mm), Trial1: $962.5{\times}609.4$, Trial2: $962.5{\times}624.4$, Trial3: $982.5{\times}644.4$, Trial4: $995.5{\times}642.4$, Trial5: $1015.5{\times}677.4$). The joint torques and muscle strengths tended to be considerably different during torso flexion in the sagittal plane for all the trials. The maximum joint torques for the thoracic vertebra, left ankle, and right shoulder measured in Trial4 were significantly higher than those measured in the other trials (p < 0.05); in addition, those for the thoracic vertebra and both ankles measured in Trial5 were significantly higher than those measured in the other trials (p < 0.05). The maximum muscle strengths for the left trapezius muscle and both tibialis anterior muscles measured in Trial5 were significantly higher than those measured in the other trials (p < 0.05). These results indicate that housework done using a pulsator washing machine may affect joint torques and muscle strengths, and these effects are dependent on the height and/or depth of the inside drum of the pulsator washing machine.
