본 연구의 목적은 소방용 coverall의 디자인이 소방수들의 동작기능성에 어떤 영 향을 주는지에 관하여 고찰하여, 보다 기능적 인 coverall을 개발, 궁극적으로 작업자의 노동력을 향상시키고, 보다 안락한 환경 속에서 작업할 수 있도록 도와주는데에 있다. 미국 캔사스 지역의 전문 소방수를 대상으로, interview 및 video analysis를 통하여, 그들이 현재 사용하고 있는 current coverall의 동작기능면에서의 문제점을 조사, 분석한 후, 이를 바탕으로 prototype coverall을 개발하였다 prototype coverall의 동작기능성을 객관적으로 측정하기 위하여 10가지 실험동작(shoulder adduction/ abduction, shoulder flexion/extension, trunk flexion/extension(standing), hip flexion/extension(knee), hip flexion/extension(trunk), upper leg flexion, trunk lateral flexion, hip adduction, trunk flexion/ extension(sitting), upper leg flexion)을 선택하여 이의 관절각도(range-of-motion)를 Leighton flexometer, goniometer, computer-aided method를 이용하여 측정하였으며, 착용자의 주관적 평가를 위하여서는 23 항목의 wearer acceptability scale를 사용하였다. ANOVA(Analysis of Variance)와 LSD(Least Significant Difference)를 이용한 통계처리 결과, prototype coverall이 current coverall에 비해 동작기능성 (특히 crotch, torso, hip movement)에 있어서 우수함을 보이고 있다.

본 연구는 외측운동과 비교하여 양측운동의 운동형태와 속도에 따른 역학적 특성을 규명하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 13명의 20-30대 남성을 대상으로 좌우 외발과 양발의 등속성 무릎 굴곡과 신전을 3가지 속도(120, 240, $450^{\circ}$/s)에서 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 3가지 속도의 무릎의 굴곡과 신전에서 대체적으로 외측운동의 합보다 양측운동에서의 역학적 출력(토크와 파워)이 감소하는 양측운동손실이 나타났다. 그러나 $450^{\circ}$/s의 신전에서는 양측운동에서 오히려 토크의 증가하는 양측운동강화가 나타났다. 특히 동일 근육에서 발생하는 각 개인의 양측운동지수는 운동속도가 변하더라도 일정 부분 유의한 상관을 보였다(120신전-240신전, 120굴곡-240굴곡, 240굴곡-450굴곡). 반면 굴곡과 신전과 같이 주동근이 다른 운동에서 집단 전체의 양측운동지수는 속도에 따라 유사한 패턴의 경향을 보였으나 각 개인의 양측운동지수는 유의한 상관이 나타나지 않았다. 이를 통해 각 개인의 근신경적 특성이 양측운동의 결과를 좌우하는 주요한 요인이 될 수 있음을 추측할 수 있다.

A new knee-ankle-foot-orthosis(KAFO) which uses an automatically-controlled electromechanical wrap spring clutch for the knee joint was developed in the present study. It was found that the output voltage from the foot switches of the developed KAFO was proportionally increased with respect to the applied load. The output voltage from the infrared sensor also decreased as the knee flexion angle increased. The knee joint system for the new KAFO weighs only 780g lighter than any other commercially available developed system. In addition, the solenoid reduces the reaction time for the automatic control of the knee joint. The static torque of the clutch was measured for three persons, and it satisfied the normal knee extension moment during the pre-swing. Three-dimensional gait analyses for three different gait patterns (normal gait, locked-knee gait, controlled-knee gait) from five normal subjects were conducted. Controlled-knee gait showed the maximum knee flexion angle of 40.56$\pm9.55^{\circ}$ and the maximum knee flexion moment of 0.20$\pm$0.07Nm/kg at similar periods in the normal gait. Our KAFO system satisfies both stability during stance phase and free knee flexion during the swing phase at the proper period during the gait cycle. Therefore, our KAFO system would be very useful in various low extremity orthotic applications.

Patellofemoral pain syndrome is the most common problem involving the knee, accounting for 25% of knee injuries. Repetitive, overuse activities cause increased force at the patellofemoral joint, resulting in pain during flexion and extension activities. Most research have been conducted in exploring the patellofemoral compressive force in gait, squat and lunges, even though in real cases, possibilities in landing exist. The purpose of this study was to compare the differences in patellofemoral compressive force according to two different height. Sixteen collegiate male students(age: 22.25 ${\pm}$ 3.30 yrs, height: 177.25 ${\pm}$ 4.44 cm, weight: 77.50 ${\pm}$ 8.18 kg) were chosen. The subjects performed drop landings in 45 cm, 60 cm. The findings demonstrated that higher height showed peak knee extension moment, quadriceps contraction force, patellofemoral compressive force with increased VGRF. Regarding the patellofemoral joint compressive force, it increased by quadriceps contraction force with knee flexion during landing, yet, it showed no difference in maximal knee flexion. To minimize patellofemoral joint stress and reduce the likelihood of developing PFPS, we recommend that predesigned quadriceps and hip muscle group strengthening are needed during conditioning and training.

Objective: The objective of the present study was to analyze the relationship between strength of the lower extremity's joints and their local dynamic stability (LDS) of gait in elderly women. Method: Forty-five elderly women participated in this study. Average age, height, mass, and preference walking speed were 73.5±3.7 years, 153.8±4.8 cm, 56.7±6.4 kg, and 1.2±0.1 m/s, respectively. They were tested torque peak of the knee and ankle joints with a Human Norm and while they were walking on a treadmill at their preference speed for a long while, kinematic data were obtained using six 3-D motion capture cameras. LDS of the lower extremity's joints were calculated in maximum Lyapunov Exponent (LyE). Correlation coefficients between torque of the joints and LyE were obtained using Spearman rank. Level of significance was set at p<.05. Results: Knee flexion torque and its LDS was negatively associated with adduction-abduction and flexion-extension movement (p<.05). In addition, ratio of the knee flexion torque to extension and LDS was negatively related to internal-external rotation. Conclusion: In conclusion, knee flexion strength should preferentially be strengthened to increase LDS of the lower extremity's joints for preventing from small perturbations during walking in elderly women.

The isometric position of the anterior cruciate ligament was calculated during flexion-extension. Flexion-extension motion data of the knee joint were obtained by Fastrak, a three-dimensional motion measurement system. A subject was seated on a flat table and the tibia sensor position was measured with the femur fixed at the table. A three-dimensional knee model was constructed using a graphic tool to simulate the knee motion. Three surgical positions of the femoral tunnel were selected and the distances between the determined tibial tunnel and each femoral tunnel were calculated. The maximum elongation position was found to be in the ten thirty direction of clock.

The purpose of this study was to quantify the maximum EMG levels and determine if there are differences in these EMG levels with respect to different knee flexion angles. Eight university students with no known musculoskeletal disorders were recruited as the participants. The maximum voluntary isometric knee extensions and flexions were taken from each participant sat on the isokinetic exercise machine (Cybex 340) at five different knee flexion angles ($10^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $50^{\circ}$, $70^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$) After surface electrodes were attached to rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus laterlis, biceps femoris, and semitendinosus, maximum EMG levels at five different knee flexion angles were measured. The results showed that there was no significant difference in maximum EMG levels among five different knee flexion angles. Although there was no significant difference in EMG levels and were some variations among different knee flexion angles, the EMG signals of quadriceps in extension and biceps femoris in flexion were the greatest at $30^{\circ}$. It seems that different joint angles or relative locations of body segments might affect the magnitude of EMG levels. Because the maximum EMG levels could change with a different knee flexion angle, an attempt should be made to more accurately measure these values. If then, %MVIC measure provides more reliable data and is most appropriate for EMG normalization.
