Objectives : To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of Flexible brace(SpineCor Brace). Methods : CNKI, PubMed databases and Korean Journal of Oriental Medicine in 1999-2014 were searched for studies on SpineCor. This study researched 4 randomized controlled trial studies. Results : The results suggested that the SpineCor brace reduced the probability of the progression of early idiopathic scoliosis comparing with its natural history or rigid brace. But some studies showed that there is no significant difference between SpineCor and rigid brace. Conclusions : These results indicate that SpineCor have obvious effects on treatment of scoliosis and no adverse reactions, therefore we need to study more researches on SpineCor.

The purpose of this study was to develop a customized wrist brace using 3D scanner and 3D printer. This study included in-depth interviews with people who had wrist pain and ever used wrist braces. The wrist brace has been designed and modeled by the CAD program after 3D scanning the wrist of subjects. Based on the results of the in-depth interviews on wrist brace users and design investigation in the market, a prototype of the wrist brace has been created. The wrist brace does not compress the hand and is easy to put on. In addition, it is adjustable to the wrist of users, allowing them to move his or her wrist without any restrictions. A computer-modeling program produced solid files for the design of the wrist brace after 3D scanning ten subjects' hands. It features a lattice-patterned surface, a velcro adjustment and trimming to smoothen the surface. PLA filaments were used to 3D print the wrist brace. As for the assessment, the wrist brace has been evaluated to be easy to put on and adjust to user's wrist. However, when it comes to appearance and comfortability, it was rated 3.0 or slightly above. This is because 3D printing materials are firm and not flexible compared to other materials such as neoprene or stretchable bands.

지진이 빈번하게 발생하는 지역에서는 비내진상세구조물은 지진 발생시 연약층을 형성하고 취성적 붕괴를 일으키게 된다. 그러나, 기존 구조물을 해체하고 내진상세 구조물을 신축하는 방법은 건설폐기물, 환경오염 및 민원 등 여러가지 문제들을 가지는 등 비경제적 방법이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 기존 구조물이 내진성능을 만족하도록 내진보강에 관한 많은 연구가 이루어졌으며, 이러한 내진보강방법에는 끼움벽, 철골브레이스, 연속벽, 부벽, 날개벽, 기둥/보의 자켓팅 등이 있다. 이 중 끼움벽 골조는 큰 변형과 접합부에서의 회전이 발생하는 골조와, 비교적 작은 변형에서도 전단파괴를 야기하는 끼움전단벽 등 복합적인 거동특성을 나타낸다. 따라서, 이러한 시스템의 거동특성은 개개의 골조나 벽에서 나타나는 거동특성과 매우 다르게 된다. 본 연구에서는 끼움벽의 내진성능을 평가하고자 하였으며, 손상에너지의 효과적 흡수를 위해 변형경화형 시멘트 복합체 (SHCC)를 사용하였다. 실험은 1/3 축소모형의 끼움벽을 반복가력하는 것으로 계획하였다. 실험 결과, SHCC 끼움벽에서는 섬유의 가교작용을 통해 시멘트 복합체 내 응력을 재분배함으로써 미세균열이 발생하였으며, 강도 및 에너지소산능력이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.
