If the architecture will made the focus of real user for convenience, it must be the real user, which is the multiple specified persons, more over, the most disadvantages side person will be considered that would be the convenient architecture for all. This principle of universal design has been started the latest 1950's, in USA, Sweden, Canada has considered to the disabled person in the concept of universal design, at 1960's. In case of our country, after 1988's handicapped Olympics, the induction of universal design is started to adapt in the era of architecture. Nowadays, in the group of study, their research, presentation increasing the example, which is carried out the enthusiasm of legislatiov. But we are much as far behind the senior nation, in regard to the lack of the vouluntary participating as the professional. This study is to analyze the principle, concept of Universal design from the department store, which is the convenient facilities, present the usable checklist in time of induction of Universal desigv.

In this paper, an Intelligent Bed Robot System (IBRS) is proposed, that is a special bed equipped with robot manipulator. To assist a patient using IBRS, pose and motion estimation process is fundamental. It is designed to help the elderly and the disabled for their independent life in bed without other assistants. For this purpose, we use the pressure sensor distributed mattress for detecting the change of motion on the bed. Using that data, we control the robot arm to move to the appropriate position and serve to the user. In addition, we can estimate the user's intention based on the change of pressure and use those data to control the robot arm guide.

In this paper, we designed the computer input device for rehabilitation of people with hand disabilities. This input device is made up of two Gyrostar sensors attached in the orthnormal directions of x, y axes. Gyrostar is a sensor for angular Acceleration. This device is attached by the user's head side. Head movement is detected by analysing and processing the output wave signals from the sensors therefore enabling the user to move the mouse pointer that helps to operate the computer. This method does not necessitate a complex hardware or a long installation process, which was formerly the case, and uses real time algorithms which enables simple emulation of a computer mouse. The interface of this device and the mouse are the same.

The Universal Design is introduced as the universal principle to satisfy people's requirements for various environment. The public space of general hospitals should be designed with consideration of specific requirements of customers. The purpose of our research is to develop and propose the Universal Design checklist which considers the circulation in the public space. We investigated that the consideration for universal design was lacked by actual survey with the checklist made according to 'The law for improving convenience of the disabled, old people and pregnant women'. Furthermore, we found the problems of the checklist. We correct the checklist considering the measurements of the user's body and action. In addition, we propose the Universal Design Checklist by adding the new references in the article about the installation.

We succeeded to build a cost effective assistance robotic arm with a compact and lightweight body. The robotic arm has three joints, and the tip of robotic arm to install tools consists of a closed link mechanism, which consisted of two actuators and several links. The robotic arm has been made possible by the use of actuators typically used in radio control devices. The controller of the robotic arm consists of a single chip PIC only. The robotic arm has a friendly user interface, as the operators are aged and disabled in most cases. The operator can manipulate the robotic arm by voice commands or by pressing a push button. The robotic arm has been successfully prototyped and tested on an elderly patient to assist with eating. The results of field test were satisfactory.

본 논문에서는 스마트 모바일 장치 및 NFC(Near Field Communication)를 이용하여 전동 휠체어를 쉽게 제어할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 이 시스템은 기존 연구에서 진행하고 있는 전동 휠체어를 제어하기 위해 모바일 디바이스에 있는 Bluetooth통신 이용하여 휠체어 제어용 통합보드와 통신한다. 스마트 모바일 장치는 휠체어 제어용 통합보드에서 발생하는 신호를 실시간으로 체크하여 사용자가 휠체어의 상태를 쉽게 모니터링 할 수 있도록 한다. 사용자는 스마트 모바일 장치를 이용하여 휠체어를 쉽게 제어할 수 있으며, 개인의 상태에 맞게 언제든지 설정하여 사용할 수 있다. 제어는 HEX형식으로 하드웨어에서 신호를 바로 읽고 분석할 수 있도록 제작되었으며, 사용자에 맞춘 설정내용은 일반적으로 사용하는 버스카드(NFC)를 이용하여 등록, 저장과 설정한 내용을 읽어서 시스템에 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. 이 시스템을 적용함으로써 휠체어 중심의 보조기구가 아닌 사람중심의 보조기구로 장애인 및 노인들에게 편의와 안정성을 제공해 줄 수 있을 것이다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop and investigate the feasibility of a sit-to-stand assistive chair using a pneumatic cylinder. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: The sit-to-stand assistive chair was developed to assist the sit-to-stand movement by rising up of the chair by a pneumatic cylinder. After the user is seated on the chair, if the pneumatic cylinder pulls the seat plate when standing up, the spring of the pneumatic cylinder, which has been stretched, assists in rising the rear end of the seat plate so that the user can stand conveniently and comfortably. A feasibility test was performed in 10 heathy adults. The electromyographic muscle activation of the trunk and lower extremity muscles was analyzed, which included the erector spinae, rectus abdominis, quadriceps, tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius when standing up from sitting using the developed chair and standing up without using the developed chair. Results: As a result, the sit-to-stand assistive chair using a pneumatic cylinder was developed. In the feasibility test, the use of the developed chair had a decrease in rectus abdominis, quadriceps, tibialis anterior activation compared to those who did not use the device in the healthy adults. Conclusions: The sit-to-stand assistive chair using a pneumatic cylinder may be helpful to reduce the activation of the rectus abdominis, quadriceps, tibialis anterior muscles when performing a sit-to-stand movement. Through the results, the efficacy of the sit-to-stand assistive chair can be confirmed. In the future, further studies are warranted to investigate for the safety and efficacy of its use in the elderly population or those who are disabled.

본 연구는 장애아 어머니들이 사회복지제도 속에서 적극적 행동주체로 성장해나가는 과정을 드러내는 데 그 목적이 있다. 기존의 사회복지연구들은 사회복지이용자들을 주어진 서비스를 수동적으로 수혜 받는 정책대상으로 묘사하는 경향이 강하다. 그러나 현실에서 사회복지이용자들은 적극적 주체로서 사회복지제도 관련 정보를 수집하고 활용하며 전략적으로 제도를 변용하기도 한다. 본 연구는 뇌병변 장애자녀를 둔 어머니들을 사례로, 사회복지제도 속에서 사회복지이용자들은 제도적 제약을 받으면서도 한편으로는 자신의 이익을 쟁취하는 역동적 행위자임을 드러내고자 했다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 뇌병변 장애아동의 어머니 9명을 심층면접하고 이를 근거이론을 통해 분석했다. 본 논문에서는 뇌병변 장애아동의 어머니가 자녀와 함께 사회복지제도 속에서 점진적으로 성장해 가는 모습을 진입기, 각성기, 탐색기, 투쟁기, 체념기, 활용기의 6단계로 나누어 서술하였다. 이를 통해 본 연구는 이론적으로는 제도-행위자 이론에 대한 경험적 논거를 제시하고, 정책적으로는 장애아동과 그 가족을 위한 사회복지제도와 정보환경의 보완책에 대해 논의할 기회를 마련하고자 했다.

This study was intended to suggest that new small-sized apartment houses should be designed and provided on the base of the concept of universal design. This is based on the diversity of each resident, that is, resident of not as a family, but as an individual. On the background of this, this study evaluated the small-sized apartment house in aspects of universal design. The walk-through and the residents' evaluation were carried out by using 60 items related to the principles of universal design. The 18 pyung apartment complex and housing unit in Jangyou new town area was evaluated. Also, 100 residents living in that apartment housing unit were asked to evaluate these 60 items by using 5 point Likert scale. The walk-through with measuring and taking pictures was carried out by researchers. In general, the apartment house was not met the fundamental elements of universal design. Thus, it was not appropriate for the disabled or the elderly to live in. Specially, the door width of bathroom and kitchen balcony was too narrow to pass through. Also, the floor of entrance and bathroom was not flat, so that the wheelchair user cannot enter by alone. The residents evaluated negatively many items related to design, such as shape, color, and material. Therefore, in order to provide the living environments for diverse residents such as the elderly, or the disabled to live together, the new small-sized apartment houses should be designed on the base of the principles of universal design.
