In this paper, a torque sensor is designed and fabricated to measure the knee joint torque of a walking assist robot for stroke patients. The torque sensor sensing part was modeled on the link of the part connected to the knee joint motor. The torque capacity of the knee joint was calculated by simulation and the size of the torque sensor sensing part was designed using the finite element method. The torque sensor was fabricated by attaching a strain gauge to the sensing part. Characteristic experiments were conducted to characterize the torque sensor, and the torque sensor was calibrated to utilize it for the control of the walking assist robot. As a result of the characteristics test, the reproducibility error and the nonlinearity error of the torque sensor were 0.03% and 0.04%, respectively. Therefore, it is considered that the developed torque sensor can be used to measure the torque applied to the knee joint when walking on a walking assist robot.

PURPOSE: This study compared two different techniques of treadmill gait training, and evaluated the outcomes on gait and respiratory function in patients with hemiplegic stroke. METHODS: This was a single-blinded, randomized, controlled, comparative study, enrolling a total of 21 stroke patients in a rehabilitation hospital. Subjects were randomly assigned to either the treadmill walking training group with gradual speed increase (GSI group, n = 10), or treadmill walking training group with random speed changing (RSC group, n = 11). All participants performed 60 min of comprehensive rehabilitation therapy (5 × / week for 6 weeks). In additional, each group received either GSI or RSC treadmill walking training for 20 min (5 × / week for 6 weeks, total 30 sessions). Gait and respiratory function were measured before and after the 6-week training. RESULTS: Both groups showed significant improvements in the 10-m walking test, 6-minute walking test, timed up and go test, forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second, and maximal voluntary ventilation after training (p < .05). The GSI group showed a significantly greater increase in the FVC than the RSC group (+14.8 L vs. +12.5 L, p < .05). CONCLUSION: Both training methods can be effective for improving the walking and respiratory functions of stroke patients. However, our results indicate that treadmill walking training with gradual speed increase might be a more effective method for improving the respiratory function (FVC) than treadmill walking training with random speed changing.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of non-invasive transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on muscle activity, including 10 m WT, TUG, and BBS, in hemiplegic stroke patients. Methods: This study was conducted on 42 inpatients diagnosed with hemiplegia due to stroke at hospital B in Daejeon for more than 6 months. Walking training was conducted for six weeks, five times a week for 30 minutes, with a general walking group (14 people), tDCS walking group (14 people), and tDCS (sham) walking group (14 people). Results: As a result of the study, the change in the muscle activity before and after tDCS intervention was significantly increased in the tibialis anterior muscle in the CG group. In the EG group, the erector spine (lumbar), rectus femoris, and tibialis anterior muscles significantly increased. In the SEG group, significant increases were observed in the rectus femoris and tibialis anterior muscles. Significant differences were found in the rectus femoris and tibialis anterior muscles in the comparison between groups after intervention according to tDCS application. Also, 10 m WT, TUG, and BBS were significantly increased in the CG, EG, and SEG groups after intervention, and there were significant differences in 10 m WT, TUG, and BBS in comparison between groups after intervention according to tDCS application. Conclusion: As a result, tDCS is an effective in improving the walking ability of stroke patients, and in particular, it effectively increases the muscle activity of the rectus femoris and tibialis anterior muscles, which act directly on walking, and also improves the speed and stability of walking. It is considered being an effective method to increase the gait of stroke patients by combining it with the existing gait training.

연구배경: 호흡곤란은 심폐질환 환자의 가장 흔한 증상이며 호흡 장애 결과로 인한 운동 능력저하는 일상 생활을 불가능하게 한다.(daily disability) 운동시 산소 소모량은 운동 능력 평가의 기능적 척도이며 심폐기능 정도를 반영하는 가장 좋은 지표로 얄려져왔다. 그러나 운동 부하 검사는 장비가 비싸고 복잡하며 증상이 심하거나 노령층의 환자에는 수행에 많은 제약점이 따른다. 반면 걷기검사는 일상 생할과 비슷한 운동량으로 실시하여 특별한 장비가 필요없고 재현성이 높은 좋은 방법으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 호흡 곤란을 호소하는 환자에서 걷기검사를 시행하여 동맥혈검사 및 폐기능 검사, Modified Borg Scale(MBS), 최대 산소 흡수율(maximal oxygen uptake; 이하 VO2max) 간의 상관 관계 및 6분과 12분 걷기검사간의 상관 관계를 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법: 호흡곤란을 주소로 내원한 37 명의 환자를 대상으로 COPD, 심혈관질환, 기관지 천식, 운동시 호흡곤란을 호소하였으나 정상 소견을 보인 네 군으로 분류하여 각각의 환자에서 안정 상태에서 폐기능 검사와 동맥혈 가스 분석을 실시하였다. 안정 시 MBS를 이용하여 호흡곤란 지수를 기록하고, 걷기검사를 실시하였다. 증상 제한적 최대 운용 검사(Symptorn-limited maximal exercise)는 자전거 타기 검사로 시행하였다. 결과: (1) 전체 환자에서 VO2max 은 COPD 및 심혈 관질환에서 다른 두군에 비해 유의하게 낮았으며 (p<0.05), 걷기검사 역시 현저히 낮았다. (2) 전체 환자에서 12분 걷기 검사는 VO2max, PaCO2, FVC(% predicted), FEV 1 (% predicted)과 상관관계가 있었으며, COPD 환자군에서는 걷기검사와 VO2max간에만 상관 관계가 있었다. (3) COPD 환자군에서 VO2max와 FEV1, FVC간의 상관관계가 가장 컸고, VO2 max와 걷기검사간에 유의한 상관관계가 있었으나 걷기검사와 FEV1 FVC간에는 상관관계가 없었다. (4) 6분 걷기검사와 12분 걷기검사는 매우 유의한 상관관계가 있었다(r=0.92, p<0.01). 결론: 걷기검사는 심폐기능을 반영하는 운동능력 평가의 간단한 방법으로 VO2max의 간접적인 지표로 유용하였으나 최대 운동 능력과는 다른 개념인 'daily disability'를 평가할 수 있는 방법이다. 또한 6분 걷기검사는 12분 걷기검사보다 환자의 부담은 줄이면서 심폐질환자의 폐기능 및 운동 기능 평가에 비슷한 결과를 보였다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the force of lower extremities, the change in walking ability on the ground by applying a walking training program based on perceptual learning to improve gait capacity of chronic stroke patients. Method: This study included Twenty-four patients with chronic stroke. Using a perceptual-based gait training, the experimental group trained twice a day for 30 minutes each time, 5 times a week, for a total of 8 weeks. The control group underwent ground gait training that excluded the element of a perceptual training for 30 minutes, 5 times a week for 8 weeks. Results: In the two groups, the maximum forefoot pressure after intervention was significantly different in both the LEPGT and GGT (p<0.05). The maximum midfoot pressure was significantly different in LEPGT (p<0.05). There was a significant difference in the maximum heel pressure after intervention between the two groups (p<0.05). As a result of comparing the change in step length and stride length after intervention in the two groups, there was a significant difference between the two groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Both gait training programs was found that gait training based on perceptual learning and ground gait training were the training for improving the functional gait of stroke patient. Perceptual learning gait training utilizing intensive perceptual awareness was the training for improving gait capacity within the period than ground gait training.
