연구 목적: 본 연구는 고정성 국소의치 제작을 위한 상악 좌측 제2소구치 및 제2대구치의 지대치 삭제에 대하여 인체공학적으로 안정된 진료 자세를 확립하고, 치과의사의 일반적 작업 자세와 비교, 분석하고 인체공학적으로 안정된 자세의 임상적용 가능성을 알아보고 이를 이용하여 향후 치과의사 교육의 기초 자료로 활용하기 위함이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 상악 좌측 고정성 국소의치를 위한 인체공학적으로 안정된 자세를 고안하고 임상 경력 3-6년의 보철과 전공의 과정에 있는 치과의사 8명을 선정하여 임의의 자세로 상악 좌측 고정성 부분의치 지대치 삭제를 시행하고 연구 대상자들에게 인체공학적으로 안정된 자세를 교육하고 연구 대상들에게 인체공학적으로 안정된 자세로 상악 좌측 고정성 국소의치 지대치 삭제를 시행하였다. 임의의 자세로 삭제 시행한 치아와 인체공학적으로 안정된 자세로 삭제 시행한 치아를 KHDP 3-dimensional measuring device를 사용하여 계측해 교합면 삭제량, 변연의 폭경, 변연의 깊이 축면 경사도. 그리고 삭제시간을 측정 비교하였다. 모든 계측된 결과를 윈도우즈용 SPSS 통계 프로그램 (ver. 18.0, SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA)을 이용하여 교합면 삭제량, 변연의 폭 및 깊이, 축면 경사도, 치아 삭제 시간을 평균값 및 표준편차 분석하고 T-test를 Random Position 와 Home Position에 따른 차이 검정하였다. 결과: 와(fossa) 부위에서의 교합면 삭제량은 상악 좌측 제2소구치 및 제2대구치 모두에서 지시삭제량에 비해 적었으며, 교두정에서의 삭제량은 지시삭제량 1.7 mm에비해 많았으나, Random position과 Home position간에 유의차는 없었다 (P > .05). 변연 폭의 삭제량은 상악 좌측 제2소구치 및 제2대구치 모두에서 지시삭제량에 비해 많았으며, Random position과 Home position간에 유의차는 없었다 (P > .05). 변연 깊이의 삭제량은 상악 좌측 제2소구치 및 제2대구치 모두에서 Random position이 Home position에 비하여 지시삭제량보다 깊었다 (P < .05). 축면경사각은 상악 좌측 제2소구치 및 제2대구치 모두에서 Home position의 축면 경사각이 Random position의 축면경사각보다 작았으나 유의차는 없었다 (P > .05). 피어슨 상관분석 결과, Random position에서 교합면 삭제량, 변연 깊이, 축면경사각은 서로에게 영향을 주고 있었으나, Home position에서는 측정결과 들이 거의 독립적으로 서로에게 영향을 주지 않았다 (P < .05). Home position 삭제 횟수가 많아질수록 삭제소요 시간은 줄어들었고, 이는 실험에 참여한 8명 모두에서 Random position 삭제시간과 비슷해지거나 더 짧았다. 결론: 고정성 국소의치를 위한 상악 좌측 제2소구치 및 제2대구치 삭제의 경우, 교합면 삭제량, 변연의 폭, 변연의 깊이, 축면 경사각에 있어서 Home position과 Random position 간에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 삭제시간, 인접치 인접면 손상 정도는 Home position이 Random position보다 적었다. 또한 자세분석을 한 결과 Home position이 Random position에 비하여 곧은 자세로 인체에 무리를 주지 않았다. 따라서 인체공학적으로 안정된 자세인 Home position의 임상적용 가능성이 높다고 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different saddle heights on lower-limb joint angle and muscle activity. Six elite cyclists(age: $32.2{\pm}5.2years$, height: $171.0{\pm}3.5cm$, weight: $79.7{\pm}5.6kg$, cycle career: $13{\pm}6.2years$) participated in three min. submaximal(90 rpm) pedaling tests with the same load and cadence based on saddle heights where subject's saddle height was determined by his knee flexion angle when the pedal crank was at the 6 o'clock position. Joint angles(hip, knee, ankle joints) and the activity of lower limb muscles(biceps femoris(BF), vastus lateralis(VL), tibialis anterior(TA) and gastrocnemius medial(GM)) were compared by measuring 3D motion and electromyography(EMG) data. Results showed that there were significant differences in minimum hip & knee joint angle and range of motion of hip and knee joint between saddle heights. Onset timing and integrated EMG of only BF among 4 muscles were significantly different between saddle heights. Especially there was a negative relationship between minimum hip joint angle and onset timing of BF in most subject, which means that onset timing of BF became fast as the degree of bending of the hip joint became larger by saddle height. Optimal pedaling will be possible through increased amount of muscle activation due to the appropriate burst onset timing by proper pedaling posture with adjusted saddle height.

This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between tensed mandibular positions, muscle tenderness and EMG activity, respectively, and between range of motion of the neck and sternocleidomastoid muscle tenderness. Under stressful conditions, most of people take several types of behavioral patterns. Two of them observed frequently are clenching of teeth and grasping of fist. Prolonged clenching or grasping should increase electromyographic activity of associated muscle, especially muscles of mastication and neck muscles and will cause hyperfunction, dysfunction and muscle pain. So it is necessary to relate EMG activity with muscle pain. The author performed routine clinical examination in 47 patients with Temporomandibular Disorders, especially for presence or absence of muscle tenderness. Mandibular rest position was used as a baseline reference position and two more position in which EMG activity was taken were rest postion with grasping of fist and teeth clenching position. BioEMG of Biopak system (Bioresearch Inc, USA) was used for measuring of integrated EMG in masseter, anterior temporalis, anterior belly of digastic muscle and sternocleidomastoid muscle. To measure of the range of neck motion. CROM(Cervical-Range-of Motion, USA) was used. The obtained results were as follows : 1. EMG activity of all muscles except in masseter was higher in grasping of fist than those in rest position and there were significant correlation in EMG activity between the two position except in anterior belly of digastric muscle. 2. When comparing EMG activity between tender and non-tender muscle, all examined muscles did not show any significant difference. From this data, we could conclude that EMG activity was generally not changed with tenderness, of couse, it might be dependent with degree of muscle tenderness. 3. Number of tender points in examined muscles was also not significantly different between in patients with masticatory muscle disorders and in patients with internal derangement. 4. Cervical posture and range of motion of the neck was not differed significantly between in patients with and in patients without tenderness of sternocleidomastoid muscle.

Purpose : This study is to examine the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation on the excitability of the central neuron. Methods : This study selected 24 suitable women in their twenties. A positive electrode of transcranial direct current stimulation was placed on the primary motor area (M1) C4 and a negative electrode was placed on the left supraobital. A stimulation of 0.04mA/$cm^2$ was applied for 20 minutes. H-reflex and V wave used diagnostic electromyography. An active electrode was placed at the muscle belly of the medial gastrocnemius muscle at a prone posture. An electrical stimulation was given to the posterior tibial nerve. Measurements were made before and after the stimulation. All data were analyzed with SPSS 12.0 and between each measuring before and after the change of the H-reflex and V wave amplitude. Results : There were no significant differences in all H wave, M wave, and V wave amplitude before and after transcranial direct current stimulation. There were no significant differences in the change of H/M ratio and V/M ratio before and after transcranial direct current stimulation. Conclusion : We know that transcranial direct current stimulation cannot have an influence on a normal grown-up person's central neuron.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of genu valgum on the body mass index, movement of lower limb joints, and ground reaction force. Methods : Gait patterns of 30 college students with genu valgum were analyzed and the static Q angle of the femur was measured for selecting genu valgum of the subjects. To analyze the kinetic changes during walking, the six-camera Vicon MX motion analysis system was used. The subjects were asked to walk 12 meters using the more comfortable walking method for walking. After they walked 12 meters more than 10 times, their most natural walking patterns were chosen three times and analyzed. Results : As a result of measuring a relationship between genu valgum and Q-angle, as the Q-angle increases, it showed a genu valgum also increased. Body Mass Index showed a significant difference between the groups was higher in the genu valgum group.(p<.001). The analysis result showed that genu valgum had a significant effect on the internal rotation moment in the hip joint(p<.05). Also, genu valgum had a significant effect on the internal rotation moment of the knee joint(p<.05). The comparative analysis of the Medial-Lateral ground reaction force in the genu valgum group showed a tendency to increase the medial ground reaction force(p<.05). The vertical ground reaction forces of the middle of the stance phase(Fz0) showed a significant increase in genu valgum group(p<.05), in particular the results showed a decrease in the early stance phase(p<.001). Conclusion : In conclusion, the change in body mass is considered to be made by proactive regular exercise for improvement of the genu valgum. In addition, the prevention of the deformation caused by secondary of the genu valgum in this study may be used as an indicator of the position alignment rehabilitation for structural and functional improvements. Applying a therapeutic exercise program for the next lap will require changes in posture alignment.

Discomfort as well as muscular pain and musculoskeletal diseases occur in cases of stressed posture due to prolonged pressure. Therefore, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America (POSNA) recommend that bags that weigh no more than 15 - 20% of the wearer's weight. However, despite the prolonged pressure from using baby carriers, there are no recommendations and limited studies on how to protect wearers. Therefore, this study investigates subjective fatigue according to the usage of waist support and hip seat. Based on this, muscle fatigue and secondary subjective fatigue according to three types of currently commercial baby carriers (X-type, H-type, and H-hip type) were measured. Subjective comfortability was evaluated on a 5 point Likert-scale and subjective fatigue was evaluated on Borg's CR-10 scale. Objective muscle fatigue was also compared by measuring and analyzing electromyogram (EMG). The results of primary subjective fatigue showed statistically significant changes in the shoulders, waist, calves, and soles of the feet according to the usage of hip seats and waist support. Electromyogram measurements also showed less muscle fatigue at the upper trapezius muscle and thoracic erector spine muscle for the H-hip seat baby carrier, which has both waist support and hip seat, compared to an X-type baby carrier, which has neither. However, results of subjective fatigue showed opposite results at the waist despite having same results at the shoulders and beneath the shoulders. This show discrepancies between objective muscle fatigue and subjective fatigue; therefore, that both aspects must be taken into consideration when developing ergonomic baby carriers.

Liver functions in diffuse parenchymal liver disease such as cirrhosis of the liver depend largely on the effective hepatic blood flow rather than on the individual cell functions. Clinical methods of measuring the hepatic blood flow were developed recently by the application of colloidal disappearance rate. In order to correlate the radiogold disappearance rate to conventional biochemical liver function tests, 21 normal subjects and 80 cases of cirrhosis of the liver were studied with both methods. The results are summarized as following: 1. The validity of external counting method to measure the blood disappearance rate of colloidal radiogold was confirmed by in vitro counting of the serial blood samples. 2. The blood disappearance rate of collidal radiogold was essentially the same. as the liver uptake rate of colloidal radiogold in normal and cirrhotic subjects with various degrees of functional disturbance. And it seemed there was no serious extrahepatic removal of the colloidal radiogold. 3. The disappearance rate of colloidal radiogold was not significantly changed by the posture change, but was enhanced by ingestion of 500 ml of water. 4. The disappearance rate of colloidal radiogold was not influenced by single dose of Telepaque, while BSP retention was increased after Telepaque. 5. The mean disappearance half time of colloidal radiogold in normal subjects was $2.49{\pm}0.391$(S.D.) minutes. The mean normal disappearance rate constant (K value) was $0.285{\pm}0.0428$(S.D.)/minute. 6. The colloidal radiogold disappearance half time was abnormally prolonged (over 3.2 min.) in $87.7{\pm}3.68$(S.D.) % of cirrhotic subjects. 7. In patients of liver cirrhosis the blood disappearance rate of colloidal radiogold correlated well to serum albumin and globulin levels and BSP retention which were considered to reflect functions of hepatic parenchymal cells. There was, however, no correlation between colloidal disappearance rate and thymol turbidity test, serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase, and serm alkaline phosphatase activities. The latters were considered to be associated with the activity of liver disease.

This study analyzed the fabric and product size of the burn patient's custom compression garment and measured the pressure applied by the garment to assess whether proper pressure is being delivered for treatment. The test clothes were presented to the market by body size and commissioned with the same design. The subjects selected four people close to the average body size of men in their 20s determined by 7th Size Korea. The experiment was conducted by wearing a compression suit, performing activities and measuring changes in the pressure of the garment according to changes in posture. The fabric used for the compressive clothing was not ruptured even at 216 kPa, the elasticity recovery rate was measured between 80.5 and 94.5%. The product dimensions of the experimental clothing varied by up to 8cm from brand to brand, requiring the standardization of compression clothing. The experiment showed that four types of compression suit varied in pressure, and the pressure range, excluding the gastric arm (17.9mmHg), was between 2.5-14.1mmHg, which failed to meet the level of pressurization for treatment purposes. The clothing pressure in the chest area dropped when performing movements rather than standing still. This was interpreted to be a result of reduced the adhesion of the compression suit during operation. The peak pressure (31.68mmHg) and the lowest pressure (2.2mmHg) was noted in the scapula, indicating that no pressure was being transmitted on the vertebrae. The pressure of the garment on the right shoulder blade was elevated in a supine position. Because much time is spent laying down, it is necessary for the pattern design to accommodate for the increased clothing pressure on the shoulder blades. Standardization of the level of pressurization for burn patient's custom-made pressure suits for each stage of treatment is urgently required.

직접 측정방법을 기반으로 3차원 스캔 데이터에서 유방의 자동측정을 위한 유방과 관련된 측정점 설정과 이상적인 3차원 스캔 자세를 제안하였다. 특히 직접 측정법에서의 유방 바깥쪽점은 체형과 자세에 따라 변동되기 쉬우므로 3차원 측정법에서는 유방에서 찾는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 유방의 윤곽선이 뚜렷하지 않은 유방 위쪽의 유방 위쪽점은 겨드랑접힘점을 기준으로 설정되는데 직접측정법에서의 유방 위쪽점이 3차원 스캔데이터에서 측정된 유방위쪽점보다 높게 설정됨을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로 직접 측정치와 3차원 측정치 간의 오차를 줄이기 위해서는 유방 위쪽점 설정에 관여되는 겨드랑앞접힘점 위치가 명확해야 할 것이다. 유방과 관련된 깊이 항목에서는 유방 바깥쪽점을 제외한 모든 깊이에서 직접 측정치가 높게 나타났는데 이는 피부 눌림에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 또 유방의 굴곡이 심한 유방아래길이와 유방아래 접힘선길이, 유방 안쪽점사이 간격은 굴곡에 의해 3차원 측정치가 직접 측정치보다 높게 나타나 유방에 대한 3차원 측정법이 일반화되기 위해서는 다양한 유방유형에 따른 측정치의 변화를 연구할 필요가 있다.

To inspect the quality of data collected from a large-scale body measurement and investigation project, it is necessary to establish a proper data editing process. The three-dimensional body measurement may have measuring errors caused from measurer's proficiency or changes in the subject's posture. And it may also have errors caused in the process of algorithm expressing the information obtained from the three-dimensional scanner into numerical values, and in the course of data-processing dealing with numerous data for individuals. When those errors are found, the quality of the measured data is deteriorated, and they consequently reduce the quality of statistics which was conducted on the basis of it. Therefore this study intends to suggest a new way to improve the quality of the data collected from the three-dimensional body measurement by proposing a working procedure identifying data errors and correcting them from the whole data processing procedure-collecting, processing, and analyzing- of the 2004 Size Korea Three-dimensional Body Measurement Project. This study was carried out into three stages: Firstly, we detected erroneous data by examining of logical relations among variables under each edit rule. Secondly, we detected suspicious data through independent examination of individual variable value by sex and age. Finally, we examined scatter-plot matrix of many variables to consider the relationships among them. This simple graphical tool helps us to find out whether some suspicious data exist in the data set or not. As a result of this study, we detected some erroneous data included in the raw data. We figured out that the main errors are not because of the system errors that the three-dimensional body measurement system has but because of the subject's original three-dimensional shape data. Therefore by correcting some erroneous data, we have enhanced data quality.
