This study was performed to determine the voluntary range of joint mobility for middle-aged Korean adults. One hundred and eighty-eight subjects(99 males and 89 females) at the age range of 40 to 60 participated for this study. Thirty body movements at various joints were conducted to measure the range of joint mobility. Subjects were grouped by Rohrer's into four based on 25th percentile. The data were analyzed to see the differences of range of joint mobility between sexes and Rohrer's index groups. The results of this study and previous studies were compared to see the differences of range of joint mobility due to the aging. Results of this study indicate that females are generally more flexible than males. Significant differences were found to exist in fourteen movement between sexes and in ten movements, females have larger range of joint mobility than males. There were no significant differences in range of joint mobility may have a tendency to decrease with ages. The results of this study provide important information in dynamic dimensions for middle-aged Korean and can be used to design the various and work places for the middle-aged.

본 연구는 한국노동패널조사 1-17차 자료에서 추출한 부자쌍(父子雙)을 이용하여 학력이 소득에 미치는 영향을 세대별로 비교하고, 자녀의 학력이 부자간 소득계층 대물림에 미치는 영향을 분석함으로써 계층이동 사다리로서의 교육의 역할을 점검했다. 분석 결과, 학력이 소득에 미치는 영향이 아버지 세대에 비해 자녀 세대에서 최대 70% 가까이 감소한 것으로 나타나 과거에 비해 교육의 계층이동 사다리 역할이 축소되었음을 확인하였다. 또한 아버지의 소득계층을 상위 50%와 하위 50%로 구분한 뒤 자녀의 학력이 부자간 소득계층의 대물림에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 상위 50% 표본에서는 자녀의 교육연수 1년 증가 시 부자간 고소득계층 대물림 확률이 최대 7.0% 증가하는 것으로 나타났으나 하위 50% 표본에서는 자녀의 교육연수가 부자간 저소득계층 대물림 확률에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 교육이 부(富)의 대물림 확률은 높이면서 빈곤의 대물림 확률을 낮추는 데에는 기여하지 못 해 결국 소득이동성을 떨어뜨리는 방향으로 작용하고 있다는 것을 의미한다.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to compare differences in thoracolumbar ranges of motions by comparing ratios among 4 type diagnosis for patient with chronic low back pain. Methods : The subjects were 58 chronic low back pain patients. A motion analysis program (Global Postural System) was used after photography for posture measurement. To analyze differences in mobility percentages and ratios of thoracolumbar ranges of motion, one-way ANOVA was used. Results : Regional difference spinal posture and movement were found to diagnosis patients with chronic low back pain. Comparison of thoracolumbar ranges of motion revealed significant differences in the thoracic region during forward-bending of the trunk (p<.05). In the upper thoracic region, the herniated intervertebral lumbar disc (HILD) group was significantly larger than the spinal stenosis/herniated intervertebral lumbar disc (SS/HILD) group (p<.05). In the lower thoracic region, chronic sprains (CS) were significantly greater than in the spinal stenosis (SS) group and in the (SS/HJLD) group (p<.05). Comparative analysis of thoracic/lumbar mobility ratio showed the CS group's ratio during forward bending was largest: 1.66, while the HILD group's ratio was smallest: 84 a significant difference between the two groups (p<.01). Diagnosis was not associated with difference in thoracolumbar backward-bending range of motion (p>.05). Conclusion : Theses results indicate the clinical efficacy of diagnosing for chronic low back pain by evaluating spinal mobility.
