위급상황 발생시 국민의 안전을 위해 신속히 대피할 수 있는 대피소가 전국에 약 2만 5,724개소가 지정되어 있으며, 서울시의 경우 약 3,870개소가 지정되어 있다. 전국에 설치된 대피소는 신속한 대피를 위해 주변 반경 5분 이내에 도착할 수 있는 위치에 지정되어 있으며, 서울시의 대피소 수용능력은 서울인구의 285%를 수용할 수 있다. 하지만 문제는 보행자의 나이, 신장, 건강상태, 신체조건 등과 같은 개인차에 의한 보행속도를 고려하였을 경우 5분 이내에 도착할 수 있는 대피소가 얼마나 되는지는 알 수 없다. 또한 대피소의 공간적 배분 및 분포에 따라 수용 가능한 서비스 영역이 달라지며, 이에 따른 취약지가 발생 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 선행연구사례를 통해서 보행자의 유형별 보행속도를 1m/s, 1.3m/s, 2m/s 정의하였고, 서울시에 지정된 대피소와 도로망을 이용하여 입지할당모형의 네트워크 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 서울시 행정구역별로 보행속도에 따른 대피소의 서비스 지역과 취약 지역을 알 수 있었으며, 노약자의 경우 대피소에 도달할 수 없는 취약 지역이 빠른 걸음의 성인남녀에 비해 2배 이상 큰 것으로 분석되었다.

본 연구는 대학생의 라이프케어에서 시력 차이가 균형 및 보행능력에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 본 연구는 G 광역시에 소재의 H 대학교에 재학 중인 45명을 대상으로 안경과 콘택트렌즈를 착용하지 않는 대조군(n=22)과 안경과 콘택트렌즈를 착용하는 실험군(n=23)으로 나누어 실시하였다. 대상자는 안경과 콘택트렌즈를 착용하지 않은 상태에서 logMAR 차트로 시력을 측정하고, BIOrescue로 균형능력을 평가하였으며, G-Walk로 보행능력을 평가하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 시력 측정에서 대조군보다 실험군은 통계적으로 유의하게 시력이 낮았다(p<.01). 정적 균형능력은 오른발의 무게중심 이동이 대조군보다 실험군이 통계학적으로 유의하게 증가하였으며(p<.05), 동적 균형능력은 대조군보다 실험군에서 안정성 한계가 통계적으로 유의하게 감소하였다(p<.05). 보행능력은 한발짝 거리와 한걸음 거리는 대조군보다 실험군의 오른발에서 통계적으로 유의하게 짧았으며(p<.05), 흔듦기는 대조군보다 실험군의 오른발에서 통계적으로 유의하게 감소하였다(p<.05). 본 연구의 결과를 종합해 보면, 대학생의 라이프케어에서 시력 차이는 균형과 보행능력의 감소시키는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 대학생의 라이프케어에서 시력이 낮은 대학생의 넘어짐과 부딪침을 예방하기 위해 안경 및 콘택트렌즈를 통한 시력 교정이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

노인에 있어 낙상 (falls)의 결과는 신체 기능상의 상실을 가져 올 뿐 아니 라 종종 사망에 이르게 하는 원인이 되기도 하여 중대한 건강상의 문제로 다루어지고 있다. 정상적인 노화과정은 감각(sensory)과 운동 (motor)계의 감퇴 그리고 주의력의 쇠퇴와 연관되어 있는데, 노인들은 이러한 감각(sensory)과 운동(motor)계 (system)의 손상으로 여러 가지 자세(posture)와 보행 (walking)등을 수행하는데 어려움을 겪는다. 또한 노화와 관련된 변화들은 자세를 조절 (postural control) 하는데 있어서 주의력 (attention capacity)을 감소시킨다. 이러한 조건 하에서 노인들은 이중과업 (dual task)을 수행하는데 젊은 사랑들보다도 더 많은 어려움을 느끼며 이는 곧바로 낙상 (falls)의 가능성을 증가시키는 중요한 원인이 되고 있다. 이러한 점들을 고려할 때 낙상(falls)을 방지하기 위한 훈련 프로그램 (training program)은 단순한 신체운동(physical exercise) 보다는 자세조절 (postural control)시의 인지시스템 (cognitive system)이 포함된 중추 통합 기전(central integrative mechanisms)을 최적화 (optimize) 시킬 수 있는 방향으로 구성되어야 한다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of combined exercise on the change of postural control, functional status in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. Methods : The subjects were consisted of 24 women patients fifties and sixties with knee osteoarthritis. Each group had a exercise for 30 minutes per day and three times a week during 8 weeks period. Was used to measure muscular function(60, $180^{\circ}/sec$), postural control. functional capacity(15 M walking test, Rising form a chair test, stair climbing and descending test) and the functional state of a joint(WOMAC). Results: This study results in following 1. In case of muscular function have significantly increased in both groups. 2. There was no significant difference in the postural control of the bilateral between two groups. However, the postural control of a isokinetic exercise program group showed a significant difference in the bilateral side(overall, $M{\cdot}L$ stability index). Especially, the change of postural control in the isokinetic plus postural control exercise program group decreased more significantly in the bilateral(overall, $A{\cdot}P$ stability index). 3 It was significantly decreased in climbing and descending the stairs, and rising from the chair, although functional capacity decreased in lam walking in both groups. 4. The functional state of a joint(WOMAC) showed a significant decrease in both groups. Conclusion : In order to improve the functional status and postural control of patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, performing exercise programming of isokinetic plus balance will be more effective than the exercise program composed of only the isokinetic exercise program.

PURPOSE: The functional limitations in stroke survivors promote sedentary lifestyles and quality of life inadequacies, but there is increasing evidence that this could be minimized by physical exercise. Therefore, this study examined the effects of physical exercise on the quality of life (QoL) and functional capacity (ability to stand up from a sitting position) among stroke survivors drafted from two tertiary hospitals in Osogbo, Nigeria. METHODS: A purposive sampling technique was used to select 21 registered right or left outpatient hemiplegic stroke survivors in a pre- and post-test experimental research design. The research questions were presented using descriptive statistics of frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation, while an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test the study hypothesis at the .05 alpha level for significance. RESULTS: Compared to the baseline (week 0), there were significant increases in the general quality of life, healthy well-being, physical exercise, pain perception, and environmental domains of QOL among the survivors in week four. Moreover, a significant increase was observed in these indices in week eight, compared to week four, except for the pain perception domain. Compared to the baseline, there was a significant decrease in the time it took the stroke survivors to stand up from a sitting position in week four. A significant decrease was observed in this index in week eight compared to week four. CONCLUSION: Marked corridor 20 meters brief walking exercise for eight weeks significantly improved the quality of life and ability to stand up from a sitting position in stroke survivors in Osogbo, Nigeria.

Purpose: The objective of this study were to examine the determinants of self-rated health, specially focused on the effect of functional capacity of community dwelling sedentary older adults on self-rated health. Method: The data has been collected from 654 community-dwelling sedentary older adults (mean age: 75 years) during the period from April to June in 2007. The data were collected by the in-person interview and direct measurement of functional capacity. The data were analyzed using chi-square test and multiple regression analysis with the SPSS 9.1 program. Result: The elderly rated their health as very good (3%), good (28%), fair (38%), poor (29%0, and very poor (2%). The higher average daily walk minutes ($\beta$=0.12, p<.01), number of chair stand ($\beta$=0.10, p<.05), scores of self-efficacy ($\beta$=0.16, p<.001) and the lower number of disease ($\beta$=-0.44, p<.001) show better self-rated health. Conclusion: Self-rated health is the most commonly used indicators in social epidemiology and geriatric research because it has been known as the good predictor of mortality and reflects health related disability. The finding suggested that daily walking habits, lower body strength, physical self-efficacy should be considered to improve the senior's self-perception of health. The community-based intervention associate increase these factors should be considered.

Korean clothings are admired for their beauty and traditional value. On the other hand, many of Korean women complain of chest restriction. Korean skirts may give high garment pressure to the wearers because the Korean skirt-band do not resolve physical tensions in size or in stretch. This paper aims at the identification of the garment pressure caused by the Korean skirt-band and the cardiopulmonary change caused by garment pressure. The Korean skirt-band were made in 3 kinds of size, and 21 women were selected for wearing test. The garment pressure was measured in front, side, and back parts of the body. The measured cardiopulmonary parameters were vital capacity, respiratory rate, heart rate, and blood pressure. The results were as follows: 1. The smaller the size of the Korean skirt-band, the greater the garment pressure. The pressure during inspiration was significantly greater than the pressure during expiration. 2. The pressure in side part was the greatest of the three measurements and the pressure in back part was the smallest. 3. The small size of the Korean skirt-band revealed low vital capcity and great respiratory rate. 4. As the small size grement was dressed, the respiratory rate and the heart rate during walking and rest after walking were significantly high. 5. Subjects felt uncomfortable when they wore small sized garment.

This paper presents a design of new type biped robot and dynamic walking simulation for this system. The robot is distinguished from other one by which has a parallel mechanism type trunk and lead-screw type actuators to drive the joints of the trunk, knee and ankle. The basic consideration on the design is that it is able to accommodate itself to human's daily environments without any other modification of around and also to operate its upper limbs more smoothly with a spine functional trunk. It is designed according to a human with about 130 cm height and about 30 kg weight. And it also is able to dynamically walk on an even ground. It has constructed with total 14 DOFs which have two legs, a hip, and a trunk. The joints of each leg and trunk are adopted with a parallel structure which has good kinematic characteristics and take light weight. To test of the capacity of joint actuators and to analysis of the dynamic properties of the biped robot, optimized trunk trajectory is determined by means of an approximated FFT method based on ZMP criteria, and dynamic simulation is performed using DADS with a 1.1 time/step velocity on the even ground during four steps.

Out-of-home mobility is necessary for accessing commodities, making use of neighborhood facilities, and participation in meaningful social, cultural, and physical activities. Mobility also promotes healthy aging as it relates to the basic human need of physical movement. Mobility is typically assessed either with standardized performance-based tests or with self-reports of perceived difficulty in carrying out specific mobility tasks. Mobility declines with increasing age, and the most complex and demanding tasks are affected first. Sometimes people cope with declining functional capacity by making changes in their way or frequency of doing these tasks, thus avoiding facing manifest difficulties. From the physiological point of view, walking is an integrated result of the functioning of the musculoskeletal, cardio-respiratory, sensory and neural systems. Studies have shown that interventions aiming to increase muscle strength will also improve mobility. Physical activity counseling, an educational intervention aiming to increase physical activity, may also prevent mobility decline among older people. Sensory deficits, such as poor vision and hearing may increase the risk of mobility decline. Consequently, rehabilitation of sensory functions may prevent falls and decline in mobility. To promote mobility, it is not enough to target only individuals because environmental barriers to mobility may also accelerate mobility decline among older people. Communities need to promote the accessibility of physical environments while also trying to minimize negative or stereotypic attitudes toward the physical activity of older people.
