This paper presents a wireless ground reaction force (GRF) sensing system for ambulatory GRF recording. The system is largely divided into three parts: force sensing modules based on optical sensor, outsole type frame, and embedded system for wireless communication. The force sensing module has advantages of the low height, robustness to the moment interference, and stable response in long term use. In simulation study, the strain and stress properties were examined to satisfy the requirements of the GRF sensing system. Four sensing modules were mounted on the toe, ball, and heel of foot shaped frame, respectively. The GRF signals were extracted using Micrpcontroller unit and transferred to the smart phone via Bluetooth communication. We measured the GRF during the normal walking for the validation of the continuous recording capability. The recorded GRF was comparable to the off the shelf stationary force plate.

본 연구에서는 현장 측정과 유한요소 해석을 이용하여 기존 아파트 바닥의 수직진동 성능 평가를 수행하였다. 평가에 사용된 기준은 ATC-1(1999) 기준과 AISC-11(1997) 기준, 그리고 일본건축학회 기준(1991)이며, 우리나라 사람의 감성을 고려하기 위해 선행연구에서 수행된 인지실험으로 제안된 인지곡선(2003)을 함께 사용하였다. 뒤꿈치 충격하중(heel drop)과 보행하중(walking)을 이용한 현장 측정으로 바닥판의 동특성을 파악하고 최대가속도값을 측정하여 이를 기준과 비교하였다. 대상 바닥판의 동특성은 고유진동수가 17Hz~22Hz이고, 감쇠비는 3~4%이다. 수직진동 성능 평가에 앞서 현행 기준의 최소두께 기준과 대상 바닥판의 두께를 비교 검토한 결과 기준의 최소값은 만족하나, 단부 슬래브에 대한 10% 증대 항목을 적용하면 만족하지 않았다. 대상 바닥의 보행하중에 대한 최대가속도값은 모두 ATC-1(1999) 및 AISC-11(1997) 기준과 일본건축학회 기준(1991)을 만족하지 못하였고, 뒤꿈치 충격하중에 대한 최대가속도값은 64RC-L만 일본건축학회 기준(1991)의 제한값에 근접하며 만족하였다. 우리나라 사람의 감성이 고려된 인지곡선(2003)과의 비교 결과 보행하중과 뒤꿈치 충격하중에 대한 대상 바닥판의 최대가속도값은 모두 '약하게 인지' 수준과 '인지하지 못함' 수준에 사이에 분포하고 있어, '인지하지 못함'을 인지의 하한선으로 본다면 대상 바닥판에서는 모두 진동을 인지하게 된다. 또한 유한요소 해석으로 구한 1KN의 정적 집중하중에 대한 처짐은 모두 1mm 미만으로 10Hz 이상의 고유진동수를 갖는 바닥판에 대하여 고려하도록 하는 ATC-1(1999) 및 AISC-11(1997)의 최소 강성 기준은 만족함을 알 수 있었다.

건설 재료와 기술의 발달로 건축물이 장스팬화 ·경량화 되어 가고 있다. 이로 인해 건축물 바닥의 고유진동수(Frequency)와 감쇠비(damping ratio)가 감소함에 따라 거주자들의 바닥판의 수직진동에 대한 문제가 발생하고 있다 그러나 현행 사용성 기준은 바닥판의 최대 정적 처짐에 의해 결정하고 있다. 하지만 선행연구(Han et al., 2003)에서 현행 기준을 만족하는 바닥이 수직진동에 대한 사용성 기준을 만족하지 못하는 것을 볼 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 거주자들의 뒤꿈치 충격하중에 대한 수직진동 사용성 기준을 만족하는 바닥 두께를 제안하고자 하였다. 슬래브 재료의 특성과 뒤꿈치 충격하중 및 마감 고정하중의 불확실성을 고려하기 위해 Monte Carlo Simulation을 사용하여 확률적으로 접근하였다. 그 결과 4변 단순지지의 경우 두께가 스팬 길이의 $1/14\~1/17$에서, 4변 고정지지의 경우 스팬 길이의 $1/18\~1/25$인 경우에 초과 확률이$0\%$에 도달하였다.

최근에 넓은 공간이 요구되는 건축물에서는 칸막이 벽과 같은 비구조재의 사용이 감소됨으로써 감쇠효과가 크게 줄어들고 있으며 고강도재료의 사용으로 바닥판 구조물이 유연화, 장경간화 되어가고 있다. 대형집회공간, 쇼핑몰, 사무실 등과 같이 장경간 건축물에서는 사람의 움직임에 의하여 과도한 진동이 발생할 수 있으며 이러한 진동은 건축물의 사용성을 크게 저하시키는 원인이 되고 있다. 바닥판 진동의 주요 진동원 중의 하나가 보행하중이다. 보행하중을 받는 구조물의 진동해석에 있어서 보행하중을 적용하는 일반적인 방법은 한 절점에 보행하중을 연속적으로 가하거나 주기하중으로 이상화된 동적하중을 가하는 것이다. 그러나 이러한 방법은 보행의 이동효과를 고려할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 실제 바닥판 구조물의 고유진동수와 감쇠비를 평가하였으며 예제 구조물의 효율적인 진동해석을 위하여 보행하중을 적용하였다.

Purpose: To examine the correlation between the gait speed and muscle activation or foot pressure in stroke patients. Methods: Twenty five functionally ambulant stroke patients (male/female: 15/10, mean age: $57.65\pm2.30$) were enrolled in this study. The patients were asked to walk on a plate at a self-selected and comfortable speed. Three walking trials were obtained and then averaged for data analysis. The gait speed and foot pressure were measured from a RS-Scan system. Activation of the quadriceps femoris muscle and biceps hamstring muscle (%RVC) were recorded using ProComp $Infiniti^{TM}$. Results: There was a significant positive correlation between Hamstring muscle activation (%RVC) and gait speed. The gait speed correlated with the foot pressure of the lateral metatarsal zone (M3-5) in the affected side. There was a correlation between the gait speed and the foot pressure of the lateral metatarsal (M3-5) and heel (medial, lateral) zone in the less-affected side. Conclusion: The gait speed is related to hamstring muscle activation and the characteristics of foot pressure. This information was observed in both the affected and less-affected sides, suggesting that rehabilitation programs should be implemented on both sides.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in the head and tibial acceleration signal magnitudes, and their powers and shock attenuations between flat-footed and normal-footed running. Methods : Ten flat-footed and ten normal-footed subjects ran barefoot on a treadmill with a force plate at 3.22m/s averaged from their preferred running speed using heel-toe running pattern while the head and tibial acceleration in the vertical axis data was collected. The accelerometers were sampled at 2000 Hz and voltage was set at 100 mv, respectively. The peak magnitudes of the head and tibial acceleration signals in time domain were calculated. The power spectral density(PSD) of each signal in the frequency domain was also calculated. In addition to that, shock attenuation was calculated by a transfer function of the head PSD relative to the tibia PSD. A one-way analysis of variance was used to determine the difference in time and frequency domain acceleration variables between the flat-footed and normal-footed groups running. Results : Peaks of the head and tibial acceleration signals were significantly greater during flat-footed group running than normal-footed group running(p<.05). PSDs of the tibial acceleration signal in the lower and higher frequency range were significantly greater during flat-footed running(p<.05), but PSDs of the head acceleration signal were not statistically different between the two groups. Flat-footed group running resulted in significantly greater shock attenuation for the higher frequency ranges compared with normal-footed group running(p<.05). Conclusion : The difference in impact shock magnitude and frequency content between flat-footed and normal-footed group during running suggested that the body had different ability to control impact shock from acceleration. It might be conjectured that flat-footed running was more vulnerable to potential injury than normal-footed running from an impact shock point of view.

The purpose of this study was to quantify kinematic and kinetic characteristics of Yin-yang Bo gait according to their motor expertise, one of the Seokmun Ilwol martial art gait patterns. Yin-yang Bo gait pattern shows initial forefoot contact instead of heel contact, and increased time of stance phase time, internal-external rotation of ankle-knee-hip joints and pelvic. It aims to produce and store the more energy through continuous homeostasis of center of gravity (COG) and performance of stretch-shortening cycle. Some of these characteristics also were similar to the gait modification strategies for reducing knee adduction moment such as toe-out progression, medial thrust, internal rotation of hip joint. To identify the characteristics, four factors of expert Yin-yang Bo gait performance group were compared to that of none expert group; 1) angles of COG displacement and rotation 2) distal joint pre-rotation in internal-external rotation of ankle-knee-hip joints and pelvic, 3) invariability pelvic potential and pelvic segment total energy 4) knee abduction moment. Six healthy(three male) subjects participated in the experiment to perform Yin-yang gait pattern. Three-dimensional and force plate data were collected. Kinematic and kinetic data were compared between two groups using t-tests. Results showed that 1) the peak point of COG internal rotation angle was reduced in expert group, 2) kneeexternal and hip joint -internal and pelvic rotation angle peak frames were more near points in expert group.

Objective: The goal of this study was to determine the center of pressure (CoP) complexity pattern in approximate entropy technique between genders at different conditions of running speed. Background: It is conducted to evaluate the complexity pattern of CoP in the increment of running speed to have insights to injury prediction, stability, and auxiliary aids for the foot. Method: Twenty men (age=22.3±1.5 yrs.; height=176.4±5.4 cm; body weight=73.9±8.2 kg) and Twenty women (age=20.8±1.2 yrs.; height=162.8±5.2 cm; body weight=55.0±6.3 kg) with heel strike pattern were recruited for the study. While they were running at 2.22, 3.33, 4.44 m/s speed on a treadmill (instrumented dual belt treadmills, USA) with a force plate, CoP data were collected for the 10 strides. The complexity pattern of the CoP was analyzed using the ApEn technique. Results: The ApEn of the medial-lateral and antero-posterior CoP in the increment of running speed showed significantly difference within genders (p<.05), but there were not statistically significant between genders at all conditions of running speed. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, CoP complexity pattern in the increment of running speed was limited to be characterized between genders as an indicator to judge the potential injury and stability. Application: In future studies, it is needed to investigate the cause of change for complexity of CoP at various running speed related to this study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze body stability Joint coordination pattern though as bending stiffness of shoes during stance phase of running. Method: 47 male subjects (Age: 26.33 ± 2.11 years, Height: 177.32 ± 4.31 cm, Weight: 65.8 ± 3.87 kg) participated in this study. All subjects tested wearing the same type of running shoes by classifying bending stiffness (A shoes: 3.2~4.1 N, B shoes: 9.25~10.53 N, C shoes: 20.22~21.59 N). They ran 10 m at 3.3 m/s (SD ±3%) speed, and the speed was monitored by installing a speedometer at 3 m intervals between force plate, and the measured data were analyzed five times. During running, ankle joint, MTP joint, coupling angle, inclination angle (anterior-posterior, medial-lateral) was collected and analyzed. Vector coding methods were used to calculate vector angle of 2 joint couples during running: MTP-Ankle joint frontal plane. All analyses were performed with SPSS 21.0 and for repeated measured ANOVA and Post-hoc was Bonferroni. Results: Results indicated that there was an interaction between three shoes and phases for MTP (Metatarsalphalangeal) joint angle (p = .045), the phases in the three shoes showed difference with heel strike~impact peak (p1) (p = .000), impact peak~active peak (p2) (p = .002), from active peak to half the distance to take-off until take-off (p4) (p = .032) except for active peak~from active peak to half the distance to take-off (p3) (p = .155). ML IA (medial-lateral inclination angle) for C shoes was increased than other shoes. The coupling angle of ankle angle and MTP joint showed that there was significantly difference of p2 (p = .005), p4 (p = .045), and the characteristics of C shoes were that single-joint pattern (ankle-phase, MTP-phase) was shown in each phase. Conclusion: In conclusion, by wearing high bending stiffness shoes, their body instability was increased during running.
