본 연구는 하지혈류제한벨트를 한 그룹과 하지 않은 그룹의 균형과 순발력의 변화를 알아보기 위해 광주 지역에 소재한 K대학교 학생 40명을 선정하여 실험군 20명과 대조군 20명을 무작위 배치하여 2019년 9월 16일부터 10월 11일까지 4주간 스쿼트 운동을 실시하였다. 스쿼트 운동 시 혈류제한은 BFR band를 착용하였고 편안하게 선 상태에서 120 mmHg 압력을 넣어 하지혈류제한을 하였다. 실험 결과 앞·중간·뒷부위 발바닥 압력의 시간에 따른 변화에서 두 그룹 모두 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았고(p>.05), 실험군과 대조군 간 상호작용 차이도 없었다(p>.05). Height, Maximum Concentric Power, Take Off Speed에서 시간에 따른 유의한 차이를 확인할 수 있었다(p<.05). 이와 같은 결과로 보아 낮은 강도 운동을 통해서도 하지혈류제한을 통해 큰 효과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 본 논문은 혈류제한운동이 순발력과 균형에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였으며 향후 하지혈류제한 운동을 통해 낮은 강도의 운동으로도 큰 운동 효과를 얻을 수 있는 것의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구의 목적은 비보이들이 선호하는 기존 신발 5종류를 대상으로 인간공학적 사용성 평가를 통하여 최적신발제작을 위한 생체역학적 변인을 규명하는 것이다. 실험대상자는 전문가 10명, 비전문가 10명이 참가하였고, 자료획득을 위하여 적외선카메라 12대(Qualisys, Oqus), 지면반력기(Kistler, 9286AA)와 족저압력기(Zebris Gmbh, Zebris PDM-System)를 사용하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 접지능력과 안전성 면에서 마찰계수 0.38, 자유모멘트가 $0.32N{\cdot}m/kg$인 P사 신발이 바람직하다. 둘째, 쿠션면에서 충격량이 숙련자, $2.51N{\cdot}m/kg$과 비숙련자, $2.86N{\cdot}m/kg$인 N사 신발이 적절한 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 보행균형성은 전족부의 평균 족저압력이 10.11 KPa(우측), 10.05 KPa(좌측)인 C사 신발, 후족부의 평균 족저압력이 8.40 KPa(우측), 8.36 KPa(좌측)인 V사 신발 적정하다고 판단된다. 결론적으로 접지능력과 안전성은 P사, 쿠션면은 N사와 보행 균형성은 C사와 V사 신발들의 구조와 재질을 조합한 신발을 개발하여야 한다.

Background: Augmented somatosensory feedback stimulates the mechanoreceptor to deliver information on bodily position, improving the postural control. The various types of such feedback include ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) and vibration. The optimal feedback to mitigate postural sway remains unclear, as does the effect of augmented somatosensory feedback on muscle co-contraction. Objects: We compared postural sway and ankle muscle co-contraction without feedback (control) and with either of two forms of somatosensory feedback (AFOs and vibration). Methods: We recruited 15 healthy subjects and tested them under three feedback conditions (control, AFOs, vibration) with two sensory conditions (eyes open, or eyes closed and the head tilted back), in random order. Postural sway was measured using a force platform; the mean sway area of the 95% confidence ellipse (AREA) and the mean velocity of the center-of-pressure displacement (VEL) were assessed. Co-contraction of the tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius muscles was measured using electromyography and converted into a co-contraction index (CI). Results: We found significant main effects of the three feedback states on postural sway (AREA, VEL) and the CI. The two sensory conditions exerted significant main effects on postural sway (AREA and VEL). AFOs reduced postural sway to a level significantly lower than that of the control (p = 0.014, p < 0.001) or that afforded by vibration (p = 0.024, p < 0.001). In terms of CI amelioration, the AFOs condition was significantly better than the control (p = 0.004). Vibration did not significantly improve either postural sway or the CI compared to the control condition. There was no significant interaction effect between the three feedback conditions and the two sensory conditions. Conclusion: Lower-extremity devices such as AFOs enhance somatosensory perception, improving postural control and decreasing the CI during static standing.

The gait instability in the elderly has been associated with age-related deterioration in physical strength and reducing the potential for elderly falls requires regular exercise. In 2005, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control(NCIPC) reported that most elderly falls occur during activities in daily living(ADL). To better reveal biomechanic mechanisms underlying age-related degeneration in gait stability, and to enhance the assessment of falls risk, an accurate quantification of a person's balance maintenance during locomotion is needed. Instantaneous orientation of the line connecting COP and COM can characterize whole body position with respect to the supporting foot during gait and the angle between this line and the vertical line passing through the COP known as a good assessment to detect the elderly gait instability. Therefore the purpose of this study was to investigate a 6-month walking exercise effects in reducing elderly fall risk factors by using COP-COM inclination angles. Twenty-two community-dwelling elderly participated this study. The participants performed a walking exercise(3 times/week, 1 hour/visit) for 6 months. Laboratory kinematics during walking was assessed at months 0, 3 and 6. Significant increased in gait velocity was found among periods(p=.011, $1.25{\pm}.03$, $1.32{\pm}.03$, and $1.39{\pm}.04\;m/s$ in 0-, 3-, and 6-month, respectively). Also, significant differences in anterior and posteriror inclination angles were found among the periods(p<.05; posterior inclination angles: $12.8{\pm}2.2$, $11.0{\pm}2.9$, & $10.9{\pm}1.9$; anterior inclination angles: $13.7{\pm}1.7$, $14.6{\pm}3.2$, & $1.46{\pm}.21$ in 0month, 3month, & 6month, respectively). These findings provide evidence of significant reduced fall risk factors of community-living older adults associated with a systematic walking program.
