Purpose: This study investigated the coordination and contribution of body segments during functioning. Methods: The relevant literature related to body segments and function were reviewed. Results: Efficient control of function is considered with regard to a participant's ability to perform a sequence of movements in body segments, which progresses from the head to the arm, trunk, pelvis, and leg segments. Each segment performs a specific role, which environment explorer using visual information for the head, reaching and grasping for the arms, a stabilizer for the trunk, and the distribution of COM in the pelvis and leg. Conclusion: During any of the movements, the momentum generated by the proximal segments is transferred to the adjacent distal segments in an appropriate sequence. In assessing function for clinical intervention strategies, the segment coordination, segment sequence, transfer of the center of body mass, asymmetrical ratio, muscle activity, and compensatory strategies should be considered.

본 연구는 도시공원 내 텃밭 경작 참여 여부에 따른 공원 공공성 인식 연구로 공원 내 텃밭에서 발생하고 있는 문제점을 기반으로 공원 내 텃밭에 관한 인식과 공원 내 텃밭 공공성 평가, 공원 내 텃밭 공공성 증진에 대한 이용자 인식을 파악하고자 하였다. 텃밭 경작 참여 여부에 따른 인식 차이를 비교하기 위해 경작 참여 집단과 비참여 집단을 구분하여 분석을 시행하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 경작 참여 집단은 비참여 집단에 비해 공원 내 텃밭 조성에 대한 필요성을 긍정적으로 인식하고 있었으나 공원 내 텃밭을 개인의 이익을 위한 공간으로 인식하고 있어 공원의 공공성을 위협하고 있었다. 둘째, 공원 내 텃밭 공공성을 평가한 결과, 경작 비참여 집단이 참여 집단에 비해 도시공원 내 텃밭의 공공성을 부정적으로 인식하고 있었다. 셋째, 공원 내 텃밭 공공성 증진을 위한 텃밭 분양 방법 및 소비 방법에 대한 인식 조사 결과, 경작 참여 집단은 텃밭을 공공의 가치로 인식하기보다는 개인의 가치를 위한 공간으로 인식하고 있었으며, 이에 지속가능한 관리 운영을 위해서 두 집단 모두 공원 이용자 사이에 텃밭의 공공적 가치 인식을 공유하는 것이 필요하다고 나타났다. 본 연구는 공원의 기능과 텃밭의 기능이 상충되지 않고 도시공원 내 텃밭이 공원 공공성을 해치지 않는 범위 내에서 조성 및 관리 운영되기 위한 이용자 측면의 방향성을 제시하였다는 것에 의의가 있다. 따라서 앞으로 공원 내 텃밭이 조성되고 관리 운영함에 있어 공원의 공공성을 유지하는데 도움을 주는 기초적인 자료로 활용될 것을 기대한다.

Objective: To identify the effect of unstable surface kettlebell exercises on muscle activity and balance in middle and high school baseball players. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: The participants were 29 middle and high school baseball players (Unstable surface kettlebell exercises group, USKE: 15; Stable surface kettlebell exercise group, SSKE: 14). The players in the USKE group performed kettlebell exercises for 60 mins on a stable surface thrice a week for 6 weeks, and the return rack was solidified on a stable surface in the same way as the experimental group. Before and after the experiment, the participant's muscle activity of the tibialis anterior and soleus was measured. In addition, the participant's balance was evaluated by measuring the distance moved from the foot's center of pressure (COP). The paired t-test was used to compare groups before and after the experiment. The independent t-test was conducted to assess differences in the degree of change between the two groups before and after the experiment. Results: Compared to the SSKE group, the USKE group showed significant differences in the muscle activity of the tibialis anterior and soleus and the balance with the eyes open and closed. Conclusions: The players in the USKE group showed a significant difference in muscle activity and balance than in those in the SSKE group. Thus, effectively including an unstable surface in the kettlebell exercise program will help improve physical function in athletes and people with musculoskeletal disorders.

프로젝터 기반의 가시화 시스템은 가상현실 흑은 체험형 응용에서 널리 사용된다. 그러나 스크린 재질과 반사 성질에 따라 스크린 상의 투사 밝기의 불균일성이 때때로 체험자의 체험을 방해할 수 있다. 이러한 현상은 체험자의 위치를 추적하는 시스템인 CAVE 혹은 운동판 체험 시스템의 체험자가 시스템 안에서 계속적으로 움직일 경우에는 특별히 문제가 될 수 있다. 스크린 화상 상에 밝기의 불균일성을 만드는 이유 중에 하나는 참여자의 눈의 위치로의 프로젝터와 스크린의 스펙큘라 반사이며, 이에 대한 분석은 높은 계산 복잡도가 요구된다. 그래픽 프로세서의 프로그래머블 쉐이더를 이용하여 스펙큘라 라이팅 요소를 계산하는 것과 마찬가지로, 본 연구에서는 밝기의 불균일성을 줄이기 위하여 주어진 스크린 환경 3D 모델을 가지고 수행 시간에 모든 화소의 밝기를 조정하였다. 이러한 목적을 위하여 개개의 스크린 응용에 따른 각도 기반의 밝기 보정 함수를 고안하였으며, GPU 상에서 수행과 접근을 용이하도록 하였다. 두가지 기법이 구현되었는데, 각도 기반의 접근에서 프로덕트 기반의 접근으로 변환과 구간 선형 보간 근사 기법을 구현하였다.

Background: The objective of this study was to determine whether sensorimotor training using an unstable surface affects dynamic balance and gait function in patients with hemiparesis, and to compare the effect of sensorimotor training with that of cycling exercise. Methods: Two subjects with post-stroke hemiparesis volunteered to participate in this study. Single-subject A-B design with alternating treatment was used for this study. Baseline(A) and intervention(B) phases were performed for 7 and 8 sessions, respectively. Sensorimotor training and cycling exercise were performed for 20 minutes in randomized order. Assessment tools were made by using a step test, timed up and go(TUG) test, and 6-minute walk test(6MWT). Results: Each of the participants improved in all three tests after the two interventions. Participants 1 and 2 showed the improvement for their assessment score after sensorimotor training in the step test by 42.1%(p<.05) and 58%, in the TUG, 31% and 19.5%, and in the 6MWT test, 32.3% and 10.6%(p<.05), respectively. After cycling exercise, participants 1 and 2 also improved in the step test by 32.5% and 53.1%, in the TUG, 27.4% and 18%, and in the 6MWT test, 28.8% and 3%. In statistical analysis between the two interventions, sensorimotor training showed a significant increased values in the step test for participant 1 and the 6MWT for participant 2 as compared with those of cycling exercise. Conclusion: Sensorimotor training and cycling exercise are helpful for improving dynamic balance and gait capacity. Furthermore, sensorimotor training may be more helpful than cycling exercise.

다수의 참여자가 존재하는 멀티미디어 화상회의 시스템에서, 참여자의 얼굴은 화상을 통하여 쉽게 구별할 수 있지만, 음성의 경우는 모든 참여자의 음성이 1차원적으로 처리되기 때문에 참여자의 구분이 어렵고 공간적인 실감을 느끼지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 HRTF(Head Realted Transfer Function: 머리전달 함수)와 거리감 재생 기법을 이용한 3-D 음향재현 시스템을 구현하고, 멀티캐스트 화상회의 시스템의 적절한 화자 배치를 연구분석하였다. 고도각과 수평각을 이용한 청취실험결과, 수평각이 고도각에 비하여 양호한 방향감 구별 인지도를 보였으며, 특히 4명의 참여자가 존재하는 화상회의 시스템의 경우 $10^{\circ}$, 90$^{\circ}$, 270$^{\circ}$, 350$^{\circ}$의 HRTF를 이용한 공간배치가 효율적인 것을 확인하였다. 끝으로 5인 이상의 참여자가 존재하는 경우와 현실감의 개선을 위하여 거리감이 이용될 수 있음을 제안한다.

Objective: The purpose of this case study was to investigate selective region high-frequency diathermy at trigger points with therapeutic exercises on pain, function, balance and gait in older patients with degenerative knee osteoarthritis (DKO). Design: A case report. Methods: The patient who participated in this study was a 71-year-old woman, who had been diagnosed with moderate osteoarthritis with grade II Kellgren & Lawrence grading scale. The intervention consisted of selective region high-frequency diathermy at trigger points, with hip and knee stretching and strengthening exercises. The participant was given assessments before and after every intervention session using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC), the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and the 10 Meter Walk Test (10MWT). The participant performed the intervention 18 times for a total of 30 minutes each. Results: As a result of this study, the patient VAS decreased to 3 points, and the WOMAC decreased to 53 points. In addition, the TUG decreased to 3.25 s and the 10MWT decreased to 1.14 s. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that selective region high-frequency diathermy at trigger points with therapeutic exercises may be an effective intervention to decrease pain, improve knee function, balance and gait in patients with DKO. The selective region high-frequency diathermy with therapeutic exercises may be feasible and provide potential benefits for rehabilitation of DKO.

Background: Gintonin is a new material of ginseng that acts through the ginseng-derived lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptor ligand. The gintonin-enriched fraction (GEF) inhibits amyloid plaque accumulation in the cortex and hippocampus, improves cognitive dysfunction by increasing acetylcholine levels, and promoted hippocampal neurogenesis in an animal model of Alzheimer's disease. We evaluated the effect of the GEF on the cognitive performance of subjects with subjective memory impairment (SMI). Methods: In this eight-week, randomized, assessor- and participant-blinded, placebo-controlled study, participants with SMI were assigned to three groups receiving placebo, GEF 300 mg/day or GEF 600 mg/day. The Korean versions of the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale (K-ADAS), Mini-Mental State Examination (K-MMSE), and Stroop color-word test (K-SCWT) were also evaluated along with the safety profiles. Results: One hundred thirty-six participants completed the study. After eight weeks, we analyzed intergroup differences in primary or secondary outcome score changes. When we compared the GEF group with the placebo group, we observed significant improvements in the K-ADAS and K-SCWT scores. The GEF group did not show a significant improvement in K-MMSE and BDI scores compared to the placebo group. No adverse events were observed in the gintonin and placebo groups for eight weeks. Conclusion: The GEF is safe and effective in improving subjective cognitive impairment related to both the K-ADAS and K-SCWT in this study. However, further large-scale and randomized controlled studies are warranted to secure other cognitive function tests besides the K-ADAS and K-SCWT, and to confirm the findings of the current study.
