평형기능검사는 평형장애의 객관적인 소견을 찾으려는 것이며 평형장해의 양상을 분석하고 장해부위를 추정하여 장해의 원인을 구명하는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 이중 전정척수반사는 미로로부터의 자극이 전신횡문근군 근긴장에 영향을 주어 안정시 또는 운동시의 체위변화에 관여하고 있는 데에 그 임상적 의의가 있다. 이 반사는 안진과 같은 전정안반사를 일으킬 수 없는 미로에 대한 미약한 자극에 의하여도 야기될 수 있으므로 평형기능의 기본검사로 시행되어야 한다. 저자들은 100명의 건장한 청년 남자에서 단각직위검사, 보행검사, 족답검사 및 차안서자법을 시행하여 다음과 같은 성적을 얻었다. 1. 단각직위검사 30초간의 접상회수는 우각거상는 5회 이내이었으며 평균 0.68회로 나타났다. 2. 보행검사 전달시의 편기는 100cm 이내에 분포되어 있었으며 평균편기치는 우측으로 22.5cm, 죄측으로는 26.1cm이었다. 후진시의 편기는 140cm 이내에 분포되어 있었으며 평균편기치는 좌측으로 35.4cm, 좌측으로는 330cm이었다. 3. 족답검사 정상두위에서는 전방이행이 93%, 후방이행이 5%이었으며 이행각의 방향은 우측 36%, 좌측 50%, 회전각의 방향은 우측 53%, 좌측 36%로 나타났다. 후경두위에서는 전방이행이 94%, 후방이행이 3%이었으며 이행각의 방향은 우측 34%, 좌측 55%, 회전각의 방향은 좌측 50%, 좌측 42%로 나타났다. 평균편기치는 정상두위에서는 이행각 22.05도, 이행거이 48.95cm, 회전각 24.40도, 후경두위에서는 이행각 29.22도, 이행거이 44.17cm, 회전각 39.58도로 나타났다. 4. 차안서자법 편서방향은 정두위, 후경두위, 우경두위, 좌경두위 등에 따라 약간의 차이가 있으나 좌측편서가 54~69%로 우측편서 24.40%보다 많으며 나머지에서는 3~7% 편서를 보이지 않았다. 편서각도는 좌우 각각 두위변화에 따라 0~16도 사이에 분포되어 있으며 정두위에서는 0~12도, 평균편서각도는 4.15~5.76도 사이에 분포를 보이었다.

The present study aimed to determine the test-retest reliability of subjective visual horizontal (SVH) testing when tested with solid and dotted line images. In this repeated measures study, 36 healthy young Malaysian adults (mean age=23.3±2.3 years, 17 males and 19 females) were enrolled. All of them were healthy and had no hearing, vestibular, balance, or vision problems. The SVH angles were recorded from each participant in an upright body position using a computerized device. They were asked to report their horizontality perception for solid and dotted line images (in the presence of a static black background). After 1 week, the SVH procedure was repeated. The test-retest reliability of SVH was found to be good for both solid line [intraclass correlation (ICC)=0.80] and dotted line (ICC=0.78). As revealed by Bland-Altman plots, for each visual image, the agreements of SVH between the two sessions were within the clinically accepted criteria (±2°). The SVH testing was found to be temporally reliable, which can be clinically beneficial. Both solid and dotted lines in the SVH testing are reliable to be used among young adults.

본 연구는 지속적인 곡예 운동이 여자 체조, 프리스타일 스키어 및 피겨 스케이터 선수의 동적자세 유지 능력에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 이 연구에 참여한 피험자는 운동경력이 4-6년 된 운동선수로서 체조선수 7명, 프리스타일 스키어 선수8명, 피겨 스케이터 7명과 일반 여학생 10명을 통제집단으로 분류하였다. 동적자세의 운동능력을 비교하고자 뉴로컴사의 동적자세측정기를 이용하여 6가지 각 조건에 맞는 이른바, 시각계, 전정계 및 체성감각계가 동원되는 상황을 연출하면서 실험에 임하였다. 자료처리는 일원변량분석을 실시하였고, 사후검증으로는 집단 간의 차이를 보고자 Scheffe로 하였고, 통계학적 유의수준은 .05로 하였다. 연구결과 운동집단 간에는 조건 5에서 프리스타일 선수와 체조선수 간의 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 운동선수 집단과 일반인 여학생 간에는 조건 2, 3, 4, 5, 6에서 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 결론적으로 지속적인 곡예 운동은 평형기관계를 자극하여 동적자세 조절의 향상에 효과가 있는 것으로 사료된다.

영상 안진기(VOG, Videooculograph)는 전정 안반사의 객관적 평가 방법으로 이용되고 있는 안구 운동 측정 방법 중의 하나이다. 영상 안진기의 핵심 기술은 눈꺼풀이나 속눈셉, 각막 반사, 그리고 눈 깜박임과 같은 영향에 덜 민감하면서 동공의 중점과 회전 운동을 정확하게 찾는 것이다. 회전 운동의 측정에 있어 부정확한 동공의 중점은 부정확한 회전 운동 측정으로 이어지므로 3차원 영상 안진기에서는 중점의 정확한 추정이 매우 중요하다. 이를 위해 잡음에 영향을 적게 받는 동공 중점을 찾는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안하고 알고리즘의 성능에 영향을 주는 인자에 대해 분석하여 최적의 조건을 찾았다. 그리고 제안한 방법을 이용하여 안구의 수평, 수직, 회전 운동, 그리고 동공의 크기 변화를 측정할 수 있는 실시간 3차원 VOG 시스템을 구현하였다.

In this study, we proposed a test to explore the function of Vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) which subjected to an angular head acceleration using pseudo random binary stimulus. Resultant eye movements(horizontal vestibular nystagmus) were digitized, filtered and transformed into the frequency domain. At first we evaluated the transfer function of V.0.R(gain and phase) and the coherence function between stimulus and response by linear frequency methods in view of the quantitative analysis since the vestibulo-ocular reflex can be considered as a linear system. at least, in normals. Secondly. with the proposed test, we showed a direct possibility that we could interpret the pathological situation quantitatively as an illustration of clinical application.

Background and Objectives: Dizzy patients with abnormal otolith function tests, despite a normal caloric response, are defined as having specific (isolated) otolith organ dysfunction. This study was performed to compare the differences in clinical presentation between isolated otolith dysfunction (iOD) patients with lab- and Sx-based iOD group and lab-based iOD symptoms. Subjects and Methods: The medical records of 23 iOD patients with normal caloric response but abnormal cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP), ocular VEMP, or subjective visual vertical were reviewed. Non-spinning vertigo was considered as otolith-related symptoms. The patients' age, onset of dizziness, Numeric Rating Scale on the severity of dizziness, and concomitant vestibular disorders were analyzed. Results: Patients in the lab-based iOD group were significantly older than those in the lab- and Sx-based iOD group. Known vestibular disorders were significantly more common in the lab-based iOD group (83.3%) compared to the lab- and Sx-based iOD group (18.2%). Despite the normal caloric response, catch-up saccade was found in the video head impulse test in more than half (54.5%) of the lab-based iOD group patients. There was no catch-up saccade in the lab- and Sx-based iOD group. There were no significant differences in gender ratio, frequency of dizziness attacks, and duration of illness. Conclusions: We propose new definitions of definite iOD (lab- and Sx-based iOD) and probable iOD (lab- or Sx-based iOD). These new definitions may help researchers to identify patients who are more likely to have true iOD, and facilitate comparisons of results between different studies.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of HMD (head mounted display)-based virtual reality balance training on static balance in young adults, and whether appropriate balance training can help healthy adults to improve balance ability in daily living. Methods: The study subjects were 14 healthy adults. Subjects received 20 minutes of HMD-based virtual reality balance training 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Static balance was measured before, during, and after training and after one month. Static balance was measured in a total of 8 conditions, and the results were classified as visual (F1), somatosensory (F5-6), vestibular (F2-4), and central nervous system (F7-8). Results: The test results showed no significant difference in pre-training, post-training, and follow-up results under all conditions at Fourier index F1, F5-6, and F7-8 frequencies. For the F2-4 frequency, there was a significant difference before and after training under NC (neutral head position, eyes closed, firm surface) and PC (neutral head position, eyes closed, elastic surface) conditions. The NC condition returned a significant decrease of F2-4 frequency in post-training testing as compared to pre-training, and the PC condition showed a significant decrease of F2-4 frequency between the pre-training and mid-training tests, and between the pre-training and post-training tests. Conclusion: These results indicate that HMD-based balance training can improve balance ability, even in normal adults, and seems especially effective for vestibular function training.

Multi-sensory systems, including the visual, somatosensory, and vestibular ones, are involved in maintaining standing balance. The organization of these sensory systems is as important as the efficiency of each individual system in maintaining optimal balance. The purpose of the present experiment was to investigate the developmental changes in static standing balance and sensory organization under altered sensory conditions. This study involved 64 children (from 4 to 15 years of age) and 17 young adults. The children were divided into four age groups: 4~6, 7~9, 10~12, and 13~15 years. Static standing balance was assessed with the one-leg standing test under four different sensory conditions: the children stood on a firm surface with (1) eyes open or (2) closed, and they stood on a foam surface with eyes (3) open or (4) closed. In balancing ability, the age groups exhibited significant differences. The function of sensory organization for balance control was poorer for the children than for the young adults. The functional efficiency of the somatosensory system of the children aged 7~9 years was at the young adults' level, and the visual function of the children aged 10~12 years had also reached the young adults' level. However, the functional efficiency of the vestibular system of children was significantly lower than that of the young adults, even at the age of 15 years. This may indicate that sensory organization and standing balance are still developing after the age of 15 years.
