스마트폰을 이용한 실내 항법 시스템은 대형 실내 시설에서 사용자의 위치 기반 서비스를 위해 매우 중요한 기반 기술이다. 이를 위해서 스마트폰에 내장된 가속도 센서와 자이로 센서를 이용하여 사용자의 이동 거리와 방향을 추정할 수 있다면 추가적인 외부 환경이 필요 없으므로 매우 유용한 기술이 된다. 본 논문은 일반적인 스마트폰에 Pedestrian Dead Reckoning(PDR) 기술과 칼만 필터를 적용하여, 사용자가 스마트폰을 가슴 앞에 잡고서 이동하면서 위치를 추적하는 실내에서의 항법 시스템 기술에 관한 것이다. 특히 회전 방향각을 추정하기 위하여 확장 칼만 필터가 설계되었고 실험적으로 일정속도로 보행하는 경우에 그 성능이 검증되었다.

PURPOSE: This study examined the relationship between the severity of a hallux valgus (HV) deformity and the kinetic three-dimensional ground reaction force (GRF) through a motion analysis system with force platforms in individuals with a HV deformity during normal speed walking. METHODS: The participants were 36 adults with a HV deformity. The participants were asked to walk on a 6 m walkway with 40 infrared reflective markers attached to their pelvic and lower extremities. A camera capture system and two force platforms were used to collect kinetic data during gait. A Vicon Nexus and Visual3D motion analysis software were used to calculate the kinetic GRF data. RESULTS: This research showed that the anterior maximal force that occurred in the terminal stance phase during gait had a negative correlation with the HV angle (r = -.762, p < .01). In addition, the HV angle showed a low negative correlation with the second vertical maximal force (r = .346, p < .05) and a moderate positive correlation with the late medial maximal force (r = .641, p < .01). CONCLUSION: A more severe HV deformity results in greater abnormal translation of the plantar pressure and a significantly reduced pressure force under the first metatarsophalangeal joint.

This paper confirmed the technical reliability of mobile-based sarcopenia prediction and monitoring system. In implementing the developed system, we designed using only sensors built into a smartphone without a separate external device. The prediction system predicts the possibility of sarcopenia without visiting a hospital by performing the SARC-F survey, the 5-time chair stand test, and the rapid tapping test. The Monitoring system tracks and analyzes the average walking speed in daily life to quickly detect the risk of sarcopenia. Through this, it is possible to rapid detection of undiagnosed risk of undiagnosed sarcopenia and initiate appropriate medical treatment. Through prediction and monitoring system, the user may predict and manage sarcopenia, and the developed system can have a positive effect on reducing medical demand and reducing medical costs. In addition, collected data is useful for the patient-doctor communication. Furthermore, the collected data can be used for learning data of artificial intelligence, contributing to medical artificial intelligence and e-health industry.

Purpose: The stroke patients have gait dysfunction due to impaired neural tracts; corticospinal tract (CST), corticoreticular pathway (CRP), and vestibulospinal tract (VST). In this study, we investigated characteristics of gait pattern according to the injury aspect of the neural track in a stroke patient. Methods: One patient and six control subjects of similar age participated. A 19-year-old male patient with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage on right basal ganglia, thalamus, corona radiata and cerebral cortex due to arteriovenous malformation rupture. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data was acquired 21 months after the stroke. Kinematic and spatio-temporal parameters of gait were collected using a three-dimensional gait analysis system. Results: On 21 months DTI, the CST and CRP in affected hemisphere showed severe injury, in contrast, the VST in affected hemisphere showed intact integrity. Result of gait analysis, walking distance and speed were significantly decreased in a patient. The stance rate of unaffected lower limb, the swing rate of affected lower limb and the duration of double stance significantly increased compared with normal control. The knee and hip joint angle were significantly decreased in a patient. Conclusion: We found recovered independent gait ability may be associated with unimpaired VST in a patient with severe injury in CST and CRP.

우리나라는 교통사고 안전 사회 실현을 위하여 범정부 종합대책을 2017년에 마련하였으며. 도심 지역의 제한속도를 기존 60km에서 50km로 낮추고 어린이보호구역의 경우에는 30km로 제한하는 등 차량이 저속으로 운행하게 하여 어린이 및 노인의 보행 중 사고를 최소화하기 위한 노력을 기울이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 매년 어린이 교통사고 사고율이 높아지고 있는 특정 지역인 단양군을 지정하여 자동차 등록현황, 교통사고 공간데이터(GIS) 현황으로 각 데이터를 전처리 후 데이터의 구조를 이해하고 데이터의 구조적 패턴을 알아내기 위한 분석 연구를 하였다.

Purpose: The aim of this research was to verify the relationship between three-dimensional (3D) ground reaction force (GRF) and severity of leg length discrepancy (LLD) while walking at a normal speed. It used a 3D motion analysis system with force platforms in standing workers with LLD. Methods: Subjects comprising 45 standing workers with LLD were selected. Two force platforms were used to acquire 3D GRF data based on a motion analysis system during gait. Vicon Nexus and Visual3D v6 Professional software were used to analyze kinetic GRF data. The subjects were asked to walk on a walkway with 40 infrared reflective markers attached to their lower extremities to collect 3D GRF data. Results: The results indicated the maximal force in the posterior and lateral direction of the long limb occurring in the early stance phase during gait had significant positive correlation with LLD severity (r = 0.664~0.738, p <0.01). In addition, the maximal force medial direction of the long limb occurring in the late stance phase showed a highly positive correlation with the LLD measurement (r = 0.527, p <0.01). Conclusion: Our results indicate that greater measured LLD severity results in more plantar pressure occurring in the foot area during heel contact to loading response of the stance phase and the stance push-off period during gait.

This paper recognizes the motion intention of the wearer using a muscle stiffness sensor and proposes a control system for a wearable robot based on this. The proposed system recognizes the onset time of the motion using sensor data, determines the assistance mode, and provides assistive torque to the hip flexion/extension motion of the wearer through the generated reference trajectory according to the determined mode. The onset time of motion was detected using the CUSUM algorithm from the muscle stiffness sensor, and by comparing the detection results of the onset time with the EMG sensor and IMU, it verified its applicability as an input device for recognizing the intention of the wearer before motion. In addition, the stability of the proposed method was confirmed by comparing the results detected according to the walking speed of two subjects (1 male and 1 female). Based on these results, the assistance mode (gait assistance mode and muscle strengthening mode) was determined based on the detection results of onset time, and a reference trajectory was generated through cubic spline interpolation according to the determined assistance mode. And, the practicality of the proposed system was also confirmed by applying it to an actual wearable robot.

A review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using electroacupuncture (EA) to treat patients with foot drop was performed to analyze the effectiveness of EA for this condition. Relevant studies (n = 183) from 7 databases (Cochrane Library, Excerpta Medica Database, PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Korean Studies Information Service System, Research Information Sharing Service, and Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System) were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and 12 RCTs met the selection criteria. In all 12 studies, EA showed significantly positive changes. In most indicators, positive changes were observed in the EA group compared with that in the control group. Significant increases were confirmed in muscle strength-related indicators such as the Fugl-Meyer motor scale, surface electromyography, active range of motion, and gait-related indicators such as the Tinetti score, maximum walking speed, and Berg balance scale. No notable adverse events were reported. EA is suggested as an effective treatment for post-stroke foot drop; however, more RCTs are required.

본 논문에서는 인간의 가장 기본적이며 기초적인 운동인 걸음걸이로부터 검출할 수 있는 걸음 수 및 보행분석을 위해 전도성 섬유를 이용한 전기용량성 압력 센서를 깔창형태로 개발하였다. 개발된 깔창 형태의 센서는 보행시의 압력을 측정하여 보행신호를 검출하고, 검출된 신호를 이용하여 걸음 수 및 자세에 따른 압력 분포를 관찰하였다. 개발된 센서의 성능 검증을 위하여 국제규격의 표준분동을 사용하여 0 kg에서 100 kg 까지 10 kg씩 증가하여 무게에 따른 압력변화를 관찰하였으며, 그 결과 압력에 따라 비선형적인 특성을 가지고 캐패시턴스 값이 증가함을 보였다. 자세에 따른 압력변화 실험과 보행 횟수 검출비교를 위한 실험에서는 건강한 성인남성 다섯 명을 대상으로 4가지의 서로 다른 자세로 있을 때의 압력 변화를 관찰하였고, 보행 횟수 검출을 위해서는 시속 1 km/h와 4 km/h의 두 가지 걸음속도에서 3분 동안 걷게 하여 보행신호를 검출하였다. 상용 만보계 및 관찰자의 수계로 도출된 보수를 비교하였다. 기존의 상용 만보계는 저속(1 km/h)으로 걸었을 때 보수가 잘 측정되지 않은 반면 개발된 센서는 저속에서도 관찰자 수계대비 정확한 보수를 도출 할 수 있었다(상용 만보계 대비 평균 98.06 %의 인식률). 또한 자세에 따라 압력 값을 토대로 사용자의 자세를 모니터링 할 수 있음을 보였다. 본 연구는 향후 스마트폰과 무선 연동하는 스마트 보행관리 시스템을 개발하기 위한 기초연구이다.
