As the quality of life has improved with development of science and technology, desire for better quality of life of disable people has also increased. Currently, prejudiced views of disabled people in South Korea are changing, but sports for all disabled people is not revitalized and social support is also inadequate. In developed countries, administration and systems for sports among people with disabilities are provided at the consumer level, and many companies willingly provide support to disabled athletes. However, in South Korea, low awareness of sports for disabled people is companied by minimal support companies. In order for South Korea to advance, support for the disable sports players is needed, especially sports-wear that fits their body conditions and differences game playing from ordinary sports players. This study specifically focused on the ice sledge hockey players, taking into account the complaints on their jersey and their special conditions through motion analysis while sleds. For the easy use of the hockey, armhole depth and sleeve breadth was reduced and sleeve hem was designed for flexibility of sleeve such that it does not slide down. Also, because only the front of the Jersey is tucked in the pants, the side vent was designed to be deep such that the back hem is prevented from being pulled. Sportswear pattern making for the players with disabilities required to account for distinct body characteristics, as compared to the ordinary players. Thus, studies that develops sports-wear design for those with disabilities contributes to the qualitative development of sports for people with disabilities.

Nowadays many neurological diseases such as stroke and Parkinson diseases are continually increasing. Orthotic devices as well as exoskeletons have been widely developed for supporting movement assistance and therapy of patients. Robotic knee orthosis can compensate stiff-knee gait of the paralyzed limb and can provide patients consistent assistance at wearable environments. With keeping a robotic orthosis wearable, however, it is not easy to develop a compact and safe actuator with fast rotation and high torque for consistent supports of patients during walking. In this paper, we propose a novel kinematic model for a robotic knee orthosis to drive a knee joint with independent actuation during swing and stance phases, which can allow an actuator with fast rotation to control swing motions and an actuator with high torque to control stance motions, respectively. The suggested kinematic model is composed of a hamstring device with a slide-crank mechanism, a quadriceps device with five-bar/six-bar links, and a patella device for knee covering. The quadriceps device operates in five-bar links with 2-dof motions during swing phase and is changed to six-bar links during stance phase by the contact motion to the patella device. The hamstring device operates in a slider-crank mechanism for entire gait cycle. The kinematics and velocity/force relations are analyzed for the quadriceps and hamstring devices. Finally, the adequate actuators for the suggested kinematic model are designed based on normal gait requirements. The suggested kinematic model will allow a robotic knee orthosis to use compact and light actuators with full support during walking.

Recently, the evolution in production techniques (e.g. high-speed milling), the complex shapes involved in modem production design, and the ever increasing pressure for higher productivity demand a drastic improvement of the dynamic behavior of the machine tool axes used in production machinery. And also machine tools of multi functional and minimized parts are increasingly required as demand of higher accurate in some fields such as electronic and optical components etc. The accuracy and the productivity of machined parts are natural to depend on the linear system of machine tools. The complex workpiece surfaces encountered in present-day products and generated by CAD systems are to be transformed into tool paths for machine tools. The more complex these tool paths and the higher the speed requirements, the higher the acceleration requirements are needed to the machine tool axes and the motion control system, and the more difficult it is to meet the requirements. The traditional indirect drive design for high speed machine tools, which consists of a rotary motor with a ball-screw transmission to the slide, is limited in speed, acceleration, and accuracy. The direct drive design of machine tool axes. which is based on linear motors and which recently appeared on the market. is a viable candidate to meet the ever increasing demands, because of these advantages such as no backlash, less friction, no mechanical limitations on acceleration and velocity and mechanical simplicity. Therefore performance tests were carried out to machine tool axes based on linear motor. Especially, dynamic characteristics were investigated through circular test.

Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate that effect of manual therapy using pelvic compression belt on hip abductor strength and balance ability in total knee replacement (TKR) patients. Methods: The subjects consisted of twenty two post-TKR patients. Participants were randomly assigned to a pelvic belt group (n=11) and a placebo group (n=11). All participants underwent manual therapy including range of motion exercise, soft tissue mobilization around knee joint, strengthening exercise (Quad set, SLR, sidelying hip abduction, standing hamstring curls, sitting knee extension, step-up, wall slide to $45^{\circ}$ knee flexion). Manual therapy was executed five times a week for 2 weeks. Outcome measures included hip abductor strength by using Biodex system 4 pro, anterior to posterior balance, medial to lateral balance, total balance by using Biodex balance system SD. Results: After the completion of the manual therapy, hip abductor strength was showed statistically significant improvements in pelvic belt group (p<.05). Anterior to posterior balance, medial to lateral balance, total balance were showed statistically significant improvements in pelvic belt group and placebo group (p<.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in hip abductor strength and there was no statistically significant difference in balance. Conclusions: This results suggest that manual therapy using pelvic compression belt has could be used for selective muscle activation of the hip abductor muscle and has useful in hip abductor strength and balance ability in TKR patients.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of seat heights for optimizing the ingress/egress performance in the elderly people. Background: Recently elderly users have been increasing in number and the ease of ingress/egress of the vehicle becomes an important issue. Method: Seven elderly subjects participated in this study(age: 71.7${\pm}$3.6yr, height: 167.7${\pm}$5.4cm, weight: 68.1${\pm}$11.5kg). Each subject performed the sitting and rising task from comfortable seated position on the chair under the following conditions: (1) with a lumbar support and (2) without a lumbar support. We measured EMG activities of seven muscles(tibialis anterior, soleus, gastrocnemius, vastus lateralis, rectus femoris, biceps femoris and erector supinae) and ranges of motion in lower limb during sitting and standing from three different heights (400mm, 500mm and 600mm from ground) of slide-up seat. Results: Muscle activities and angular movements of hip and knee joints during standing-up and sitting-down with a high seat height(600mm) were reduced mean 30.4% in extensor muscles, 57.11% in flexor muscle, 18.74% in erector muscle and 31.0% in joints compared with a low seat height(400mm). Conclusion: Muscle activities and joint movements in hip and knee were reduced when rising/sitting from a high seat height(600mm) compared with a low seat height(400mm). Application: This study can be used to design vehicle that are easy to get in and out of by older peoples with or without impairments.

The control of diamond turning is usually achieved through a laser-interferometer feedback of slide position. The limitation of this control scheme is that the feedback signal does not account for additional dynamics of the tool post and the material removal process. If the tool post is rigid and the material removal process is relatively static, then such a non-collocated position feedback control scheme may surfice. However, as the accuracy requirement gets tighter and desired surface cnotours become more complex, the need for a direct tool-tip sensing becomes inevitable. The physical constraints of the machining process prohibit any reasonable implementation of a tool-tip motion measurement. It is proposed that the measured force normal to the face of the workpiece can be filtered through an appropriate admittance transfer function to result in the estimated dapth of cut. This can be compared to the desired depth of cut to generate the adjustment control action in additn to position feedback control. In this work, the design methodology on the admittance model-based control with a conventional controller is presented. The recursive least-squares algorithm with forgetting factor is proposed to identify the parameters and update the cutting process in real time. The normal cutting forces are measured to identify the cutting dynamics in the real diamond turning process using the precision dynamoneter. Based on the parameter estimation of cutting dynamics and the admitance model-based nanodynamic control scheme, simulation results are shown.

산사태는 토사, 거석, 유목 등 산사태 물질의 중력사면 이동현상이다. 산사태는 수리학적, 지형학적, 지반공학적 요인에 따라 다양한 흐름 및 퇴적특성을 보인다. 흐름특성은 아주 느리게 움직이는 산사태(활동, 이류 등)에서 아주 빠르게 움직이는 산사태(토석사태, 토석류 등)까지 다양하다. 이런 점에서 산사태 발생과 확산 메커니즘의 이해를 위해 전단변형률에 따른 전단강도특성에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구는 한국형 산사태에 적합한 링 전단시험장치의 개발과 활용성에 대한 것이다. 링 전단시험장치는 산사태 유형별 피해 및 영향성 평가에 사용되는 전단강도를 측정할 수 있으며, 전단속도에 따른 산사태의 유동성을 평가하기 위한 장치이다. 비배수 전단강도 측정용 링 전단시험장치는 기존에 개발된 링 전단시험기의 수정보완형으로 '포화-압밀-배수-전단' 순으로 시험조건을 자유롭게 조절할 수 있다. 링 전단상자내 흙 시료의 전단강도의 정확한 측정을 위해 미끄럼 방지, 밀폐성 및 회전성 향상 기능을 갖춘 시험장치이다. 링 전단시험장치는 모래와 자갈 시료에 대한 예비실험을 수행하였으며 기존 시험결과와 비교하여 신뢰할 만한 결과를 확인하였다. 회전속도 100 mm/sec 로 구속할 때 배수조건에 따른 일시적 액상화 현상으로 인한 강도저하 현상이 관측되며, 전단면에 따른 입자파쇄 현상이 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 마지막으로 토석류 유변학에 기초하여 링 전단시험장치를 이용한 산사태 유동성 평가기법을 제안하였다.

현재 온실에서 농작업을 작업기는 사람이 운전하고 있다. 온실 안은 무척이나 무덥고 열악한 작업조건이다. 그렇기 때문에 앞으로 무더운 온실내의 작업기 개발은 사람이 직접 운전하지 않고, 자동화에 의한 무인화 될 것으로 전망된다. 온실에서 자동화 및 무인화의 작업을 돕기 위하여 온실내의 경로(길)에 따라 자동적으로 이동할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하게 되었다. 이 시스템은 작업기의 자동화와 무인화를 위한 것이며, 이를 위하여 온실의 천장에 가이드를 연결한 후 이를 따라 시스템이 자동으로 이동할 수 있는 경로 자동변환 시스템이다. 이 시스템은 연마봉으로 만들어진 경로를 따라 선회 및 직선운동이 가능하며, 이 시스템은 경로 변경을 위한 리미트 스위치와 소프트웨어로 구성되어 있다. 이 시스템의 작동여부를 실험하기 위하여 시테핑모터를 가진 마이크로 마우스를 이용하였다. 견고한 실험실의 평면 위에서의 작동실험은 시스템 작동이 100% 성공률을 나타내었지만 모래위나 다른 조건에서는 성공률이 80% 이하로 낮게 나타났다. 실제 온실에서도 충분한 강도를 가진 연마봉을 이용하여 처짐에 대한 부분을 고려하여 사용한다면 경로를 따라 주행하는 이 시스템은 잘 작동할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

펄스자기장을 인체에 자극했을 때 몸 안에 있는 이온성 전해물질에 의해 유도전류가 발생하며, 최근에는 이를 활용하여 자기장 치료기술이 새롭게 연구 개발되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 강한 펄스자기장을 자극했을 때, 여러 층으로 응집되어 붙어있는 적혈구 연전형성의 변화를 동역학적으로 조사 분석하였다. 적혈구의 연전형성은 여러 가지 원인에 의해 발생하는데 물리학적으로 보면 적혈구 중심에 있는 $Fe^{+3}$ 이온에 의한 전기장 발생과 혈액 내에 녹아있는 음이온의 상호작용이 원인으로 고려된다. 본 연구에서 사용된 펄스자기장의 세기와 시간은 0.27 Tesla, 0.102 msec이고 펄스 반복시간은 1초이다. 인체에 가한 펄스자기장의 자극시간은 5분에서 10분, 15분, 20분까지 증가시켰고, 이에 따라 적혈구의 연전상태 변화를 동영상으로 조사하였다. 펄스자기장을 10분 동안 가했을 때 적혈구의 연전상태는 매우 호전되어 대체로 개별로 분리되었으며 slide glass 위에서 이동속도 역시 가장 활발하게 움직여서 $8{\times}10^{-4}m/sec$로 증가하였다. 그러나 20분까지 자기장 자극을 증가시키면 오히려 적혈구의 연전상태가 증가하고 활동성이 떨어지는 것을 확인하였다. 이에 대한 해석은 좀 더 체계적인 연구와 분석이 필요해 보인다.
