선박이 천수 및 수로를 운항하는 경우, 바닥과 측벽의 영향으로 인해 선체침하 및 비대칭적인 힘이 선체 주위에 발생하여 바닥이나 다른 선박 혹은 수로의 벽에 충돌하는 현상이 발생한다. 특히, 수로가 많은 유럽이나 북미를 운항하는 해운회사와 항해사들은 선박의 충돌을 방지하기 위해서 중요한 문제로 다루고 있다. 본 연구에서는 선박의 안전한 항해를 위해 수치해석을 이용하여 선박과 수로의 벽 사이에 발생하는 유체역학적 힘인 횡력(Sway Force)과 선회 모멘트(Yaw Moment)를 정성적으로 추정하고자 하였다. 천수와 측벽효과(Bank Effect)를 해석할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하여 크기가 다른 원유 운반선 2척에 대하여 선속, 수심 그리고 선박과 측벽 사이 거리의 변화에 따른 다양한 해석을 수행하였다. 계산된 결과는 시험 결과 및 기 발표된 수치해석 결과와 비교하였다.

Purpose: We compared T-type and I-type canes on postural balance in 28 hemiplegic patients. Methods: Subjects were allocated randomly into two groups: a T-shape cane group (n=14) and an I-shape cane group (n=14). Before the test, subjects were trained by a physical therapist to walk with a cane for 6 weeks. The Main Outcome Measures were measured as maximal sway velocity, sway path, sway area, and partial weight bearing using a Balance Performance Monitor (BPM) and ambulation velocity using a 'Timed up and go test'. We also measured the maximal ambulation velocity. Results: The distribution of weight bearing on the affected side without the cane was 35% in the I-shape cane group and 36% in the T-shape cane group. After training, weight bearing on the affected side increased by 45% in the I-shape cane group and 40% in the T-shape cane group. With the cane held in the hand, weight bearing on the affected side in the T-shape cane group decreased by 3%. Conclusion: The I-shaped cane increased static standing balance, including hemiplegic side weight bearing. Therefore, I-shape canes can improve the balance of hemiplegic patients.

본 연구는 수중과 지상에서의 장애물 훈련 프로그램이 만성 뇌졸중 환자의 균형에 미치는 효과를 비교하고자 시행하였다. 연구대상자는 수중운동집단(15명)과 지상운동집단(15명)으로 나누어 장애물 훈련 프로그램을 12주간 주 3회, 40분씩 실시하였다. 정적균형은 Good Balance System을 이용하여 눈을 뜬 상태에서 내 외측 동요속도와 전 후측 동요속도 그리고 동요면적을 측정하였고, 동적 균형검사는 기능적 팔 뻗기 검사와 일어나 걸어가기 검사를 이용하여 측정하였다. 그 결과, 두 집단 모두에서 정적 균형(내 외측 동요속도, 전 후측 동요속도, 동요면적)과 동적균형(기능적 팔 뻗기 검사와 일어나 걸어가기 검사)에서 유의한 차이를 보였고, 집단 간 차이에서는 모든 변수에서 수중운동군과 지상운동군 간의 유의한 차이를 보였다. 이상의 결과를 볼 때, 수중과 지상에서의 장애물 훈련이 만성 뇌졸중 환자의 균형 능력 증진을 향상시키며, 수중이란 환경에서의 훈련이 지상운동보다 유의한 효과가 있다는 결과를 알 수 있었다. 수중운동은 만성 뇌졸중 환자의 균형 능력 증진을 위한 방법으로 유용하다고 생각되며, 앞으로도 균형능력 증진을 위한 수중운동에 대한 연구가 활발하게 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.

PURPOSE: Stroke patients have reduced balance ability due to a lack of motion in the ankle joint. Elastic taping assists movement, and joint mobilization, a form of passive movement, enhances mobility. The purpose of this study was to determine the immediate effects on balance ability after anterior-to-posterior (A-P) talocrural joint mobilization combined with elastic taping in stroke patients. METHODS: Twenty stroke patients were divided into two groups: a joint mobilization with taping group (experimental group, n=10) and an elastic taping only group (control group, n=10). The experimental group underwent anteroposterior mobilization of the talus and elastic tape was applied to the calf and tibialis anterior muscles. The control group had elastic tape applied. Dynamic balanced abilities were assessed by using the BioRescue system. After 30 minutes of intervention, the forward, backward, left side, and right side sway areas ($mm^2$) were measured. RESULTS: Only the experimental group showed a significant increase in forward sway area after intervention. However, no significant differences were detected between the two groups. CONCLUSION: This study shows that A-P talocrural joint mobilization combined with elastic taping has a positive effect, producing an immediate increase in the forward balance ability of stroke patients. However, this study did not examine joint mobilization alone. In subsequent studies, it is necessary to examine the effect of joint mobilization only on balance in stroke patients.

This study used 3D body scan data to classify body shapes according to the torso shape of adult males aged 20-75 years. This data will be provided so that the apparel industry can make apparel products corresponding to body characteristics by age. The study used 1,796 adult males between the ages of 20 and 75 and the 3D body shape data of the '5th Research on National Standard Anthropometry'. For data analysis, the program SPSSWIN Ver. 17.0 was used to calculate the mean and frequency allowing for a factor analysis, cluster analysis, analysis of variance, and Duncan test. To classify body shape according to the torso shape of adult males, this study considered nine factors: 'horizontal size of torso,' 'vertical size of body,' 'curve of torso and waist-abdomen flatness ratio,' 'length of torso,' 'shape of neck area,' 'degree of lateral curve,' 'difference between front and back interscye length,' 'shoulder armscye shape,' and 'chest flatness ratio.' Based on the results of the factor analysis, the torso shapes of adult males were classified into five types. Type 1 is "upright body with flat, curvy shape", Type 2 is "curve sway back body type", Type 3 is "flat, abdominally obese body", Type 4 is "obese, crooked body" and Type 5 is "thick sway front body type." named.

In this study, we investigated the influence of vibrational stimulation on postural control. To study the effect, the sway of the center of pressure was observed fur two different visual conditions and for three different patterns of vibrational stimulation on plantar area. The two visual conditions were normal condition with visual feedback and blind condition with both eyes closed. The three vibrational stimulations were white noise, constant vibration, and vibration with amplitude modulations (sine curve modulation). The experimental results showed that the sway of the center of pressure distinctively reduced with white noise vibrational stimulation. This result showed that it's possible to use vibrational stimulation for improving the ability of postural control.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate how light touch with a finger affects balance ability when a posture is maintained in the condition of visual information blockage and to provide a fundamental material for developing balance ability in the process of rehabilitation treatment. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: The study subjects were 17 healthy men and women in their twenties and thirties who were studying at S University in Seoul. The system was comprised of an equilateral triangular force platform. Subjects were asked to step on the foot position of the force platform (Good Balance, Finland) barefooted for 30 seconds, with eyes closed, hands hanging down loosely, and feet comfortably apart. It was connected to a laptop by using Bluetooth technology. An experiment was conducted in the following three circumstances: 1) no-touch trial, 2) light touch to the back (T7 area), and 3) light touch to the middle finger of the left hand. Each subject was given a 10-minute break between consecutive measurements. The experimental circumstances were performed randomly. Anteroposterior sway (APSV), mediolateral sway velocity (MLSV), and velocity moment (VM) were measured. Results: The APSVs (mm/s) were $9.32{\pm}3.37$ and $5.45{\pm}2.98$; the MLSVs (mm/s), $6.39{\pm}3.35$ and $3.31{\pm}2.48$; and VM ($mm^2/s$), $17.13{\pm}11.75$ and $6.76{\pm}8.31$ in the first and second experimental circumstances, respectively. APSV, MLSV, and VM values were significantly improved with the 1) no-touch trial and 2) light touch to the back trail conditions compared with the 3) light touch to the middle finger of the left hand condition (p<0.05). Conclusions: This study revealed that the balance ability for maintaining a body posture was influenced more by light touch to the back (T7) than by light touch with the sensitive fingertip and body sway diminished after visual information was blocked.
