Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of pelvic tilt exercise with changing the body position on foot contact pattern in the hemiplegic patients. Methods : Thirty seven hemiplegic patients were randomly divided 3 groups; control group (CG), sitting exercise group (SIEG) and standing exercise group (STEG). F-mat system and F-scan system were used for the measurement of foot contact pattern of hemiplegic side in walking. Data were analyzed statistically using paired t-test and one-way ANOVA. Results : The results were as follows : 1) Contact area of CG and SIEG were not significant difference in walking. Contact area of STEG was significant increased in walking. 2) Anteroposterior distance of COP of SIEG and STEG were significant increased in walking. Conclusion : These results suggest that pelvic tilt exercise in sitting and standing position are effective in the improvement of Anteroposterior distance of COP and gait stability are increased in only standing position.

In the last years, it has become possible to regain some locomotor activity in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) through intense training on a treadmill. The ideas behind this approach owe much to insights derived from animal studies. Many studies showed that cats with complete spinal cord transection(spinalized animals) can recover locomotor function. These observations were at the basis of the concept of the central pattern generator located at spinal level. The neural system responsible for the locomotor restoration in both cats and humans is thought to be located at spinal level and is referred to as the central pattern generator(CPG). The evidence for such a spinal CPG in human is emphasis on some recent developments which support the view that there is a human spinal CPG for locomotion. An important element in afferent inputs for both spinal injured cats and humans is the provision of adequate sensory input related locomotor, which can possibly activate and/or regulate the spinal locomotor circuitry This review article deals with the afferent control of the central pattern generator. Furthermore, the application of adequate afferent inputs related locomotor for stroke patients will be able to facilitate locomotion ability, which is automatic, cyclic, rhythmic. These insights can possibly contribute to a better therapeutic approach for the rehabilitation of gait in patients with stroke.

본 연구에서는 근전도 신호를 활용하여 정상인의 보행과 관련된 상지와 하지 근육의 신호를 확인하고 저항센서를 이용하여 정상적인 보행 패턴을 확인하였다. 대학생 15명을 대상으로 정지해 있을 때와 평지를 보행할 때, 상지의 4부위(대흉근과 승모근)와 하지의 10부위(대퇴직근, 대퇴이두근, 내측광근, 외측광근, 반막양근, 반건양근, 가자미근, 장비골근, 내비복근과 외비복근)에 전극을 부착하여 근전도를 측정하였다. 저항센서는 양측 발바닥의 8부위에 센서를 부착하여 보행시 발에 가해지는 압력을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 근전도 신호는 정지상태에 비하여 보행 시에 허벅지의 외측광근과 반건양근을 제외하고 모든 근육에서 유의하게 높은 진폭을 가졌다. 또한 보행주기의 두 단계인 입각기와 유각기와 관련된 근육을 확인하였다. 저항 센서의 신호 분석 결과, 평균 보폭 주기 동안 크게 입각기와 유각기의 두 주기와 세부적으로 여덟 단계 - 초기 접지기, 하중 반응기, 중간 입각기, 말기 입각기, 전 유각기, 초기 유각기, 중간 유각기, 말기 유각기 - 의 보행 주기를 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, the dependency of energy efficiency on the walking/running pattern and the walking/running period is analyzed though simulations of walk, trot and gallop. A quadruped animal has its own original features in the walking pattern and the walking period for adaptation to the environment. The robot model used in the simulations has three active joints and one passive spring-loaded joint at each leg, which is based on the actual quadruped robot, HUNTER (Hanyang UNiversity TEtrapod Robot), developed in the lab. Also included is the dependency of energy efficiency on the walking period in trot.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the kinematic variables of ankle joints and EMG signal of the lower limbs muscle activity for the different walking speed. The subjects were 6 males of twenties. It was classified into three different walking speed-0.75m/s, 1.25m/s, 1.75m/s. The walking performances were filmed by high speed video camera and EMG signal was gained by ME3000P8 Measurement Unit. Tibialis anterior(TA), Gastrocnemius medial head(GM), Gastrocnemius lateral head(GL), Ssoleus(SO) were selected for the dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the ankle joint. The result of this study were as follows: 1. In the gait cycle, The time parameters for the phases were showed significant difference without the terminal stance phase and terminal swing phase for the different walking speed. 2. The angle of ankle joint was no significant difference for each time point and MDF, MPF but increasing walking speed the angle had the increasing pattern slightly. 3. The angular velocity of ankle joint was showed the significant difference for LHC, RTO, RKC, LHU, MPF and MDF point along the walking speed. 4. TA was showed about 2-3 times muscle activity at the 1.75m/s than 1.25m/s in some phases. And it was showed the similar muscle activity between the 0.75m/s and 1.25m/s but, showed a little much muscle activity in the 0.75m/s. GM was showed about 2-3 times muscle activity in the 1.75m/s than 1.25m/s, and even much muscle activity at the 0.75m/s than 1.25m/s in some phases. GL was showed increasing pattern of muscle activity specially in the initial swing phase as the walking speed increased. SO was showed about 3 times muscle activity in the 1.75m/s than 1.25m/s during the plantarflexion of ankle joint. It was showed the similar muscle activity between the 0.75m/s and 1.25m/s but, showed a little much muscle activity in the 1.25m/s.

스마트폰 기반 금융 산업의 발달로 스마트폰을 이용한 인증 기법에 관심이 높아지고 있다. 다양한 생체 기반 사용자 인증 방식이 존재하지만 아직까지 스마트폰 기반 사용자의 걸음 패턴(gait) 인증 방식은 뚜렷한 발전을 보이고 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 스마트폰에 기본적으로 탑재된 가속도 센서를 이용해 사용자를 인증하는 방법을 제안한다. 구체적으로, 스마트폰에서 수집한 데이터를 3D 변환하여 자세를 교정하고, 변환된 데이터에서 특징을 추출한 뒤 주성분 분석, 가우시안 혼합 모델링 과정을 거쳐 데이터를 학습 시킨다. 다음으로, 신뢰구간 검증 방식을 사용해 사용자 데이터를 검증했다. 그 결과, 통제 요인과 한계점이 많았던 선행 가속도 연구들과 달리 최소한의 통제 요인과 높은 정확도(약 96%)로 사용자 인증이 가능함을 입증했다.

Human joint motion can be kinematically described in three planes, typically the frontal, sagittal, and transverse, and related to experimentally measured data. The selection of reference systems is a prerequisite for accurate kinematic analysis and resulting development of the equations of motion. Moreover, the development of analysis techniques for the minimization of errors, due to skin movement or body deformation, during experiments involving human locomotion is a critically important step, without which accurate results in this type of experiment are an impossibility. The traditional kinematic analysis method is the Angular-based method (ABM), which utilizes the Euler angle or the Bryant angle. However, this analysis method tends to increase cumulative errors due to skin movement. Therefore, the objective of this study was to propose a new kinematic analysis method, Position-based method (PBM), which directly applies position displacement data to represent locomotion. The PBM presented here was designed to minimize cumulative errors via considerations of angle changes and translational motion between markers occurring due to skin movements. In order to verify the efficacy and accuracy of the developed PBM, the mean value of joint dislocation at the knee during one gait cycle and the pattern of three dimensional translation motion of the tibiofemoral joint at the knee, in both flexion and extension, were accessed via ABM and via new method, PBM, with a Local Reference system (LRS) and Segmental Reference system (SRS), and then the data were compared between the two techniques. Our results indicate that the proposed PBM resulted in improved accuracy in terms of motion analysis, as compared to ABM, with the LRS and SRS.
