Objective : A study and development of Korean Bobsleigh athletes's shoe which considers their physical condition has yet to be completed. So this study examines the effects of running shoes used by athletes based on plantar pressure and sprint time in order to provide raw data for the development of bobsleigh shoes suitable for Koreans. Method : The study selected seven bobsleigh athletes as subjects and selected three pairs of spiked running shoes from three companies, which will be referred to as Company N (Type A), Company A (Type B), and Company M (Type C). To analyze sprint time and plantar pressure for each shoe, the subject of the study were instructed to wear the selected shoes and to drag a sled at maximum sprint for 15 meters for 15 meters for in each condition that would be in real bobsleigh competitions. Results : The average sprint intervals for each athlete in each pair of shoes revealed Type C produce the fastest sprint in the order of Type C < Type A< Type B. Shoe Type C also had the largest contact area in order of Type C > Type B > Type A (p<.01). None of the three shoe types seem to yield a distinct advantage in terms of maximum average pressure or maximum pressure. Conclusion : In the future, functional analysis should be carried out by comparing the material properties, hardness, and toe spring of shoes based on the Type C shoe from Company M in order to develop bobsleigh shoes suitable for Koreans.

Chiefly, painful heel syndrome is observed at old age. Many possible reasons were bursitis, plantar fasciitis, calcaneal periostitis around the calcaneus and achilles tendon. But the exact cause was not clearly identified due to complexity of subcalcaneal pain mechanism. The incidence of calcaneal spur and overweight were significant in painful heel syndrome. Our purpose of this study was analysis of underlyng cause and correlation about bony spur and overweight in painful heel syndrome. The author used incidence of heel spur on painful heel syndrome and body mass index to evaluate overweight. The material is 55 cases of painful heel syndrome patients and 60 cases of control group. Bony spur was one of the cause of painful heel syndrome. Body weight and calcaneal spur was developing factors on painful heel syndrome. And the result was as follows. 1. Spur formation incidence is 35 cases (63.6 %) in painful heel syndrome, 8 cases (13.3%) in normal control group. So, patient's group is significantly high (p<0.01). 2. Body mass index is 26.48 in painful heel syndromes, 21.75 in normal control groups. Overweight above index 27 is 22 cases (40%) in painful heel syndromes, 3 cases (5%) m normal control groups. So, patient's group is significantly high (p<0.01). 3. In painful heel syndrome, tenderness site is 46 cases (83.6%) in medial calcaneal tuberosity, 4 cases (7.3%) in central calcaneal tuberosity, 1 cases (1.8%) in both site. 4. Underlying causes of painful heel syndrome is 19 cases (34.5%) in plantar fasciitis, 16 cases (29.1%) in calcaneal periostitis, 11 cases (20%) in bursitis, 4 cases (7.3%) in tendinitis, 2 cases (3.6%) in entrapment neuropathy.

Introduction: Painful plantar callosities under the second and third metatarsal heads are not uncommonly associated with hallux valgus and there have been controversies concerning its treatment modalities. We performed the Weil osteotomy in patients with painful callosities under the second and third metatarsal head associated with hallux valgus, and evaluated the outcome clinically & radiologically. Materials and Methods: From November 2000 through November 2001, out of 51 patients diagnosed with hallux valgus, the Weil osteotomy was performed in 5 women associated with painful callosities under the second and third metatarsal heads. The mean age was 53.4 years (range, 31-66) with a minimum follow-up period of 12 months(range, 12-16). Results: The mean AOFAS lessor metatarso-phalangeal-interphalngeal Scale(LMIS) improved from 61.2 points preoperatively to 88.8 points postopertively. Mean decreases in length of the second and third metatarsal after surgery were 3.2mm and 3mm. Conclusion: We experienced improvement of metatarsalgia in 80% of patients by Weil osteotomy and all patients were symptom-free at last follow-up, suggesting that the Weil osteotomy is an effective procedure in treating painful plantar callosities under the second and third metatarsal heads associated with hallux valgus.

두 발을 번갈아 옮기며 몸을 앞으로 움직이는 단순한 동작의 반복으로 보이는 보행이란 과정은 실제 인체 내의 대부분의 근육 및 인대, 뼈가 연관되어 이루어지는 복잡한 행동이다. 신체 일부가 소실된 하퇴 절단자의 경우 생체조직이 온전히 보전되어 있는 일반인과는 달리 남은 생체 부위와 의지의 공학적인 성능에만 의존해 보행을 해야 한다는 어려운 상황에 직면하게 된다. 따라서 하퇴절단자를 위한 하퇴의지는 우선 환자가 기본적인 보행이 가능케 함과 동시에 최대한 복잡한 지면 상태에 적응할 수 있도록 설계가 되어야 한다. 원활한 보행을 위해서는 배/저굴 방향의 발목의 회전이 매우 중요하고 고르지 못한 지면 상태를 극복하기 위해서는 내/외전 방향의 족부의 회전 기능이 요구된다. 최근 생체역학적인 연구를 접목한 다양한 하퇴의지가 개발되고 있으나, 이러한 고가의 고성능 하퇴의지의 경우 주로 활동성이 높은 하지절단 환자들에 초점이 맞춰져 있다. 본 연구에서는 하퇴의지 착용자의 대다수인 활동성이 낮은 K2 레벨의 환자들을 위한 하퇴의지를 개발했다. 기본적인 보행 능력 향상을 위해서 배/저굴 방향으로의 회전이 가능한 유압식 발목을 개발했고, 이를 통해서 배/저굴 방향으로 각각 $2.5^{\circ}$와 $4^{\circ}$의 회전이 가능함을 확인했다. 또한 수동 조절이 가능한 유압 노즐을 탑재해 환자 개개인에 적합한 발목 회전 저항력을 설정할 수 있도록 설계했다. 내/외전 방향으로의 족부의 회전이 가능하도록 이중고무 방식의 중간재를 삽입해 각각 $3.6^{\circ}$와 $4.1^{\circ}$의 회전이 가능하도록 설계되어 측경사나 작은 장애물들을 극복할 수 있도록 제작했다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 하퇴의지는 K2 레벨의 하퇴절단자들이 일상생활 중에 겪게 되는 다양한 지면 환경을 극복하는데 도움을 줄 것이다.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the activity of the abductor hallucis (AbdH) muscle during short foot exercise (SFE) using foot orthosis (SFE-FO) and the windlass effect (SFO-WE) while sitting and in a one-leg standing position. METHODS: We recruited fourteen subjects with normal feet for this study. Surface electromyography (EMG) was used to measure the muscle activity of the AbdH muscle during SFE, SFE-FO, and SFE-WE while sitting and in a one-leg standing position. Three trials consisting of a 5 s hold for each of the three exercises were performed to measure the EMG activity of the AbdH muscle. Exercise type and position were randomly assigned. Two-way repeated-measures ANOVA was used to analyze the effects of exercise type (SFE vs. SFE-FO vs. SFE-WE) and position (sitting vs. one-leg standing position) on AbdH muscle activity. A statistical significance was set at ${\alpha}=.05$. RESULTS: The EMG activity of AbdH muscle in the SFE-WE exercise was significantly greater than that during SFE and SFE-FO in both exercise positions (p<.001). In addition, the EMG activity of the AbdH muscle in the one-leg standing position was significantly higher than that while sitting (p<.001) during all three exercises. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that SFE-WE is a more effective strengthening exercise than SFE or SFE-FO for activating the AbdH muscle.

Tuberculosis in the foot progresses gradually; thus, diagnosis is usually delayed, and early treatment is rarely provided. If osteomyelitis occurs due to delayed diagnosis and treatment, surgical treatment should be considered. We report the case of a 46-year-old man with osteomyelitis of the calcaneus who was diagnosed with multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis and he was treated with anti-tuberculosis drugs. Bilateral adrenal masses, abscess of both testes and a small wound in the left plantar heel were observed. Both adrenal masses and abscess were regarded as paradoxical reaction of anti-tuberculosis treatment. After 1 month, he developed a pain in the left plantar heel that was compatible with calcaneal osteomyelitis in radiological features. He underwent right orchiectomy for right scrotal abscess aggravation and surgical treatment for left calcaneal osteomyelitis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction. The patient was immobilized by cast for 8 weeks and the heel pain gradually improved.
