The otitis media has the highest rate of occurrence in 6-36 month after birth, and relatively high rate of occurrence to six years old. It is one of major cause for hearing loss problem because of its high rate of recurrence. The researcher observed at bed that feeding posture and feeding habit at night have some relationship with occurrence of otitis media. I found that medical research in this area was very weak, and it caused her to concentrate her research on the topic. This paper was undertook a retrospective case-control study to find out the relationship between the mode of feeding and the occurrence of otitis media among the otitis media patients and the healthy persons. As the controling groups, the researcher chose fifty eight mothers whose children received the treatment of otitis media(6-36 months after birth) from the pediatrics clinic of two general hospitals in Seoul, as the patient group, and forty five mothers who consulted with their child to well baby clinic at the general hospital and kindergarten in Seoul as the control group. The results of the survey can be summarized as followed : 1. "Otitis media patient group may have more lying posture mothers while feeding than the healthy control group". The first hypothesis is supported by the fact that the children who have lying posture feeding habit mothers are more easily exposed to otitis media than those who have sitting posture feeding habit mothers as the analysis show : $X^2=8.142$, p = .017 2. "Otitis media patient group may have higher rate of sleeping habit with milk bottle on the month at night than the healthy control group does". The second hypothesis was supported by the fact that the patients group has higher rate of expected sleeping habit than the healthy group dose as the analysis show : $X^2=4.35$, p = .037 3. "Otitis media can be found more in the artificial feeding group than in the healthy children group". The hypothesis is rejected by the analysis, $X^2=1.550$, p = .416. Though the hypothesis is not supported by this research, we need to encourage mothers to feed mother's breast milk on the ground that healthy group has mother's milk feeding tendency, and the best food for infants is their mother's milk, and psychological-sociological effects of breast feeding os quite good for children. It will improve the health of infants. It can be summarized as follows : Otitis media is more concerned with posture of feeding and night feeding habits than feeding modes. On the basis of this survey, feeding education problem for mothers of infants need to be developed. In the education, sitting-embracing posture of feeding, mother's breast feeding, and prohibition of children's lying posture feeding at night need to be emphasized.

Objective & Background: When applying various evaluation tools that analyze work posture risk through observation, accurate measurement of body flexion angle is very important. Method: This study investigated differences and appropriateness of 5 different existing reference points commonly used in the analysis of the work posture. Twenty five ergonomist and trained professionals were participated in this study. A Same flexion angle was utilized for the evaluation of risk assessment of musculoskeletal disorders using five different reference points to investigate the degree of difference between them. To investigate how different the observers' preferred flexion angle measuring methods were compared to the ISO 11226 Reference Posture, a virtual body model was constructed using the Poser 6.0 program. Six types of body flexion postures were constructed, and since neck flexion differs according to body angle, five types of neck flexion postures were constructed with the trunk bending $20^{\circ}$ forward, making up a total of 30 virtual flexion postures. Results: Results showed that the observers used personally preferred reference points instead of reference points recommend in the evaluation tools. Also the results revealed the their seems to be 6 types of flexion angle for the trunk and 11 types of measurement methods for the neck flexion angle in the form of personally preferred reference points. The results showed that a mean difference of $14^{\circ}$($4{\sim}23^{\circ}$) occurred in the trunk, and a mean difference of $20^{\circ}$($-8{\sim}51^{\circ}$) occurred in the neck. To increase accuracy when using the 5 evaluation tools in combination, the ISO 11226 standards, observers' preferred flexion posture standards, and common flexion posture standards of the evaluation tools were compared with the reference points of the 5 evaluation tools. Results showed considerable variance in angle difference for each evaluation tool. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, considering the angle difference between the flexion angle reference points of the evaluation tool and the reference points selected by the observers, it is concluded that instead of personally preferred reference points, the standardized reference points to enhance the accuracy and the objectivity. Application: The result of this study can be used as reference guide to develop the standardized reference point in the future.

The goal of this study was to determine whether food industry workers are exposed to musculoskeletal loads due to the work time, frequency, awkward postures and inappropriate workspace design. Three catering workers were evaluated based on job analysis and posture analysis. The results showed that the four most time-consuming tasks were arranging(17%), cooking(16%), handling before cooking(15%) and cutting(15%), and the four most frequent tasks were arranging(21%), cooking(18%), handling after cooking(16%) and handling before cooking(13%). The most common posture was a standing posture(73%) with neutral back(73%), and bent head(50%), left lower arm(71%), right lower arm(78%) and right hand(60%). The comparative analysis of subtasks for the risk levels of musculoskeletal disorders was conducted using the work time, frequency and cumulative time of the postures. The 'displaying' and 'handling after cooking' showed higher risk levels than other subtasks. In addition, the height and length of the tables were evaluated to be inadequate for the workers. It can be concluded that the working environments for catering workers of restaurants should be improved due to the high cumulative time of awkward postures of upper extremities.

Purpose : The aim of this study was to verify differences in cervicocephalic joint position sense error after different sustained sitting postures in healthy young adults. Methods : Twenty-five healthy adults(12 men, 13 women) participated in this study. Repositioning errors of neck movement were observed in participants during joint repositioning tasks. During 2 test days with a 1-week interval, the participants performed forward head posture and upright sitting posture in random order. Both head-to-neutral(HTN) and head-to-target(HTT) tasks were performed on each day. On the first day, the participants sat slouched or upright for 10 minutes. Then, they sat upright and moved their heads at a self-selected speed with their eyes-closed to pre-determined neutral and target positions as accurately as possible. The participants noticed that when they reached a pre-determined position, the errors between pre-determined neutral and target positions and current position was recorded. The tasks consisted of flexion, extension and lateral bending. On the second day, the same test was performed after another sitting posture for 10 minutes. Repositioning error values were collected by using a smart phone-based inclinometer. The mean value for three trials was used for data analysis. A paired t-test was used for statistical analysis. Results : Significant differences in joint repositioning errors were found between the repositioning error after different sitting postures on the sagittal plane for both the HTN and HTT tasks (P<.05). No significant differences in errors on the coronal plane were found (P>.05). Conclusion : Cervicocephalic joint position sense can be affected by sitting postures, especially on the sagittal plane.

이 연구는 "무예도보통지"의 권법을 종합적인 관점에서 해석하는 것이다. 권법에 대한 인용서목 분석과 "기효신서", "무예제보번역속집", "무비지"의 권법 자세를 비교하는 목적이 있다. 문헌고찰을 통해 얻은 결론은 다음과 같다. 첫째, "무예도보통지" 권법의 인용서목을 검토한 결과, 중국문헌 14개, 한국문헌 2개 등 총 16개로 나타났다. 일본의 문헌은 권법 내용에 실리지 않았다. 중국의 대표적인 문헌으로는 "한서", "기효신서", "무비지" 등이었고, 한국의 대표적인 문헌으로는 "무예제보번역속집" 이었다. 둘째, 중국의 "기효신서", "무비지", 한국의 "무예제보번역속집", "무예도보통지" 등 4개의 문헌을 통해 나타난 동일한 자세는 현각허이세, 기고세, 안시측신세, 염주세, 포가세 등이었다. "기효신서"를 제외한 3개의 문헌에서는 정란, 귀축각, 지당세, 수두세, 신권, 일조편, 작지룡, 조양수 등 8개의 동일한 자세가 나타났다. "무비지"와 "무예도보통지"의 문헌에서만 보이는 동일한 자세로는 나찰의출문가자변하세, 금계독립세였다. 셋째, 권법 자세를 비교한 결과, 무엇보다 한국의 "무예제보번역속집"에서는 축천과 응쇄익이라는 독특한 자세가 나타났고, "무예도보통지"에서는 오화전신세와 갑을상부라는 독특한 동작이 나타났다. 문헌 연대로는 "기효신서"가 가장 빠르지만 기술특성을 고려할 때 "무예제보번역속집"과 "무예도보통지"에서 자세에 대한 변화가 점차 생기기 시작하였고, 무엇보다 조선 시대상에 맞는 독특한 자세들이 개발되기 시작하였다고 볼 수 있다. 종합적으로, "무예도보통지"의 권법은 "한서", "기효신서", "무비지"의 중국 문헌과 "무예제보번역속집"의 한국 문헌을 참고해서 집필되었다. 권법의 자세는 중국의 "기효신서", "무비지", 한국의 "무예제보번역속집", "무예도보통지"에서 5개의 동일한 동작 외에 다른 동작들은 점차 변화하였고, "무예제보번역속집"부터 8가지의 새로운 자세가 나타나기 시작하였고, 축천세와 응쇄익세의 2개 동작은 "무예제보번역속집"에만 나타났다. 특히 우리나라 권법은 축천세와 응쇄익세, 갑을상부, 오화전신세는 중국문헌의 권법 관련내용에서는 찾아볼 수 없는 새로운 기술들을 개발함으로써 점차 우리나라 실정에 맞게 변화를 꾀하였음을 알 수 있다. 이 연구의 의의는 조선시대 권법의 무술사적 의미를 해석하고 오늘날 맨손무예로 각광받고 있는 태권도의 전통주의적 관점에서 역사해석의 토대마련을 위한 징검다리를 놓았다는 점이다. 후속연구에서는 "무예도보통지"와 태권도의 기술에 대한 차이와 유사성 분석을 통해 태권도와 권법 사이에 관련성을 확인할 것이다.
