  • Purpose: The most common cause of plantar ulceration is an excessive plantar pressure in patients with peripheral neuropathy. Foot orthosis and therapeutic footwear have been used to decrease the plantar pressure and prevent the plantar ulceration in in diabetes patients. We investigated whether protective sock with functional insoles reduce plantar pressure while walking in 17 diabetes patients. Methods: An in-shoe measurement device was used to measure the peak plantar pressure while walking. Peak plantar pressure data were collected while walking under two conditions: 1) wearing diabetic sock and 2) wearing the protective sock with functional insoles. Each subject walked 3 times in 10-m corridor under three conditions, and data were collected in 3 steps in the middle of corridor with in right and left feet, respectively. Pared t-test was used to compare the peak plantar pressures in three plantar areas under these two conditions. Results: The protective sock with functional insoles significantly reduced the peak plantar pressure on the lateral rearfoot, but significantly increased the peak plantar pressure on the middle forefoot, and medial midfoot (p<0.05). However, there were not significant in medial and lateral forefoot, lateral midfoot, and medial rearfoot between diabetic sock and the protective sock conditions (p>0.05). Conclusion: The protective sock with functional insoles reduced plantar pressures in the rearfoot and supported the medial longitudinal arch. However, it is necessary to change the position of metatarsal pad in the insole design of forefoot area to prevent diabetic foot ulceration.

  • This study is on the characteristics of LiSangSockDanBang(理傷續斷方). Through this study, the characteristics of LiSangSockDanBang(理傷續斷方) can be oganized as the following: First of all, in LiSangSockDanBang, the treatment of traumatic injury is consisted of the fourteen steps. This fourteen steps is resorted by four steps. ; Washing(洗藥法), Standin in line(整復法), Using an external application(外治法), Using an internal medicine(內服法). This is LiSangSockDanBang's major characteristics. Because of this contents, LiSangSockDanBang is quoted on EuiBangLyuChi(醫方類聚). The first treatment of traumatic injury is Wahing. Wahing is not only sterilizing a wounded region but pushing out the PungSa(風邪). So, to avoid a infection of a tetanus, washing medicine consist of the herbs, that push out the PungSa(風邪). LiSangSockDanBang has high level of surgery. In 1456, YoungLyuGumBang(永類鈐方), has no more level than surgery's in LiSangSockDanBang, is reprinted. This fact means that the surgery is used frequently in those days. In this scientific backing, an operation needle, that described in ChiJongJiNam(治腫指南) and ChiJongBiBang(治腫秘方), are written by Lim UnGook(任彦國), is used frequently, too. In LiSangSockDanBang, the major external applications are HookLyongSan(黑龍散) and PungLyuSan(風流散). In case of open wound, the HookLyongSan is used but in closed wound, PungLyuSan is used. The internal medicine has three applications. ; Removing extravasated blood(瘀血), Catharsis(通利大小便), Supplementation(補氣血).

  • The purpose of this study was to develop a large representative data base for socks marketing strategy. The study was to determine socks brand awareness in ralation to segmented distribution regions and such demographic variables as sex and age. The authors also analyzed preferred design. A total of 650 questionnaires were distributed and 611 reliable ones were used for statistical analysis. A SAS statistical package including frequency tables and chi square test was used. The results are as follows: Brand awareness involves "brand recall" based on asking a person to name the brand he or she recalls first, and also "brand recognition" based on asking subjects to identify brand names from 30 given brands. 'SOCKSTOP' was found to be a dominant brand as a result of the brand recall test, and 'BYC' was found to be a dominant brand as a result of the brand recognition test. Brand recognition was significantly different in the segmented distribution regions, three age groups and different sex groups. People considered design first in purchasing sports/casual socks, while they considered color first in purchasing dress socks. The most favored type of sock style was the common crew sock type. The results of a chi square test showed that preferred type of sock design was related with the sex and age variables.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate domestic and foreign fashion sock design trends and suggest a proposal for competitive fashion sock design developments. The methods of this study are undertaken by literature review and design trend analysis. For the design trend analysis, in the case of domestic cases, 209 pictures from 7 brands, and in the case of foreign cases, 870 pictures from 10 brands are being chosen. In terms of analysis criteria, the colors, patterns, lengths and images of both the domestic and foreign socks are being compared. As a result, among the fashion foreign socks, more than 4 colors are the most common, and dark & dark grayish, strong & deep color tones are the most popular. Also, the stylized, geometrical patterns, and casual, cute and unique images are generally used. In the case of domestic fashion socks, 2 colors are the most common with vivid, strong & deep color tones as the most popular. Furthermore the patterns are limited to geometric patterns, and the images of socks are inclined to be too casual. To enhance the competitiveness of Korean sock designs, the variety of patterns and images are essential.
