Recently, incorrect and unhealthy postures have become increasingly prevalent due to reasons such as smartphone use. Consequently, imbalanced muscle contraction occurs. In particular, if the oblique muscle is contracted, the accessory nerve will be compressed, causing ischemic pain in the upper trapezius muscle. To investigate the effect on pain in the upper trapezius muscle, this study applied the ischemic compression method to the accessory nerve capture point at the 1/3-point of the oblique cervical muscle. In this study, the ischemic compression method was applied to eight women twice a week for four weeks, and pain was evaluated before, immediately after, and three weeks after application. The visual analogue scale, McGill Pain Questionnaire, and pressure dynamometer were used to evaluate subjects' pain. As a result of this study, it was confirmed that the pain was significantly reduced after treatment, and that the pain reduction was still effective three weeks after completion of the intervention, indicating that the intervention on the accessory nerve compression point on the oblique cervical muscle was both effective and long-lasting for pain reduction in the upper trapezius muscle. Future studies should increase the number of subjects to check not only pain reduction in the upper trapezius muscle, but also improvement of neck function.

We present selfie stick case design, which can protect upper part of Selfie Stick. Many of current products are damaged when it is carried without cases, especially upper part of the product, because protection case is irrelevant to handle in urgent or frequent use of the product. To solve this problem, we design the case part which is attached to stick. For designing the part, we considered functionality, aesthetics, portability and profitability.

In this paper, We have conducted a Compact SELCA-Rod design by using FreeCAD. FreeCAD is many modern design applications such as Revit or CATIA. It is based on the concept of Workbench. A Workbench can be considered as a set of tools specially grouped for a certain task. Also It has an extensive list of features FreeCAD implements. We use this practical tool and proceed the research on Compact SELCA-Rod which is attracted the most IT-related products in 2014. SELCA-Rod is mostly based on rod-shaped form as in name. However rod-shaped design has the biggest problem for mobile Through this research, We propose a new type of SELCA-Rod. It is easy to carry and take pictures from different angle.
