본 논문에서는 키넥트 센서를 이용한 제스처 인식 방법을 개발하고, 이를 이용한 격투액션 제어 인터페이스를 제안한다. 제스처의 패턴 특징을 추출하기 위해서는 단순한 절대 위치 정보를 이용하는 것이 아닌, 어깨를 중심으로 한 신체 비율 특성을 고려하여 특징을 추출하는 방법을 이용한다. 하지만 동일한 제스처를 수행하더라도 키넥트 센서에 포착되는 각 관절의 위치 좌표값들은 팔의 길이와 방향에 따라 달라질 수 있다는 문제점이 있다. 그래서 논문에서는 제스처를 모델링하고 분석하기 위해 주성분 분석법을 사용하는 방법을 기술한다. 이 방법을 사용함으로서 데이터가 가지는 에러의 영향을 줄일 수 있게 되고, 차원축약의 효과를 얻을 수 있게 된다. 또한 동작 인식 시스템의 동작 제약을 줄이기 위한 방법으로 수정된 매칭 알고리즘을 제안한다.

The maximum work capacity at various shoulder angles was estimated in terms of joint moment through maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) measurement, and the result was compared to workload computed from 3-D static lifting model (3DSSPP) based upon national institute of safety and health (NIOSH) lifting guideline (1991). The electromyography (EMG) of anterior/posterior deltoid and trapezius muscle was also recorded to study the function of individual muscle during asymmetric shoulder lifting. Psychophysical workload was measured to observe the difference from MVC or biomechanical estimation. An apparatus was constructed for the study and twenty five trials including five flexion angles and five add/abduction angles were performed isometrically. Results indicated that MVC at 30 degree of flexion was the strongest whereas MVC at 120 degree was the weakest. In case of add/abduction, MVC decreased to 77 to 89 % during add/abduction compared to the MVC at neutral position. Regarding the normalized EMG value, a substantial increase was observed at 30 and 60 degree abduction. More importantly, the shoulder moment computed from maximum permissible limit (MPL) was greater than the moment at MVC condition during 30 degree adduction. Current result can be used as a reference information for a safe workplace design to prevent the shoulder from an excessive work load in industry.

The purpose of this study, the wearing conditions of functional pressure clothing applied with the thermotherapy device were determined by three types (NW, CW, TCW) and the difference in isokinetic strength, muscle activity around the forearm was investigated and the effects of products mixed with thermotherapy and pressure treatment were verified. Ten men in their 20s were selected as subjects, and all subjects were randomly assigned three wearing conditions, and wrist flexion/extension exercise was performed at 30° and 90° angular velocity in isokinetic equipment. Peak torque, average power, and EMG were measured during exercise in all conditions. For peak torque, CW was significantly highest at velocity of 30°/sec flexion. Average power showed no significant difference by condition. In the angular velocity of 90°/sec, flexion was significantly higher in CW and TCW than in NW. As a result, wearing clothes with pressure effect and heat effect can show high efficiency in high muscle strength development and fast contraction activity during low speed exercise, and it is thought that it can show improvement of exercise ability through efficient recruitment of motor unit.

Objective: This study aims to verify effect of 1-RM direct measurement method of back squat on beginners. Method: Total of 8 healthy adults were recruited for this study (age: 29 ± 3.81 yrs., height: 174 ± 3.83 cm., body mass: 74 ± 11.63 kg., 1RM: 96 ± 19.78 kg). All participants performed the back squat with 80%, 90% and 100% of the pre-measured 1RM. A three-dimensional motion analysis was performed with 8 infrared cameras and 3 channels of EMG were used for this study. One-way ANOVA with repeated measure was used for the statistical analysis with the significant level set to α=.05. Results: The ankle joint ROM in the transverse plane was significantly increased as the weight increased during the concentric contraction phase 2 (p < .05). In addition, the erector spinae and the gluteus maximus, which are synergist for the motion, showed a significant difference according to the increased weight (p < .05). Conclusion: Our results revealed that beginners increase potential dynamic knee valgus as weight increased. Therefore, it is thought that field coaches should pay attention to this to minimize and prevent injuries when measuring 1-RM for beginners.

Sit to stand(STS) movement is one of the most common activity in daily life. In addition, Korean traditionally stand up from various sitting heights in one's daily life compared to other foreigners. As Korea enter rapidly to the aging society, needs of the elderly's independent life are increasing. Therefore the importance of research about the analysis of elderly's activity in daily life is rapidly increasing. In this study, we analyzed joint movements and changes of muscle length during STS(sit-to-stand) at various sitting heights(table seat, bath seat, bottom) in the Korean elderly's daily life by using the motion analysis and musculoskeletal modeling. Ten Korean elderly and young were participated in this experiment. Three heights of sitting posture which could represent typical sitting in Korean daily life were chosen as table seat(42cm), bath seat(21cm) and bottom(0cm). As the results, the elderly showed both smaller knee/hip flexion and larger trunk flexion relatively in comparison to the young during table seat STS. The elderly also showed larger dorsiflexion and smaller ROM of knee, hip, trunk compared to the young during bath seat STS. Additionally, the elderly showed larger plantarflexion, hip flexion, smaller knee flexion and trunk flexion during the first half of bottom STS and larger knee flexion, hip flexion and trunk flexion during the second half of bottom STS. In addition, we could know contraction and relaxation characters of major muscles in lower limb during various STS through the analysis of changes in muscle length by musculoskeltal modeling.

등척성 팔굽 굽힘시 전완길이(florearm length)는 전완에 가해진 힘의 방향이 직각일 때 관절토크 뿐만 아니라 최대근지구력시간(maximum endurance time: MET)을 결정하는 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구의 목표는 전완의 등척성 수축시 MET의 대표적인 두 가지 실증적 모델인 지수모델과 거듭제곱모델에 전완길이를 추가요소로 적용했을 때 미치는 영향을 검토하는 것이다. 30명의 자원자가 실험에 참여하였으며, 요소변수로 사용할 참여자의 상완 및 전완의 둘레 및 길이들과 최대자율수축강도의 백분율(percent of maximum voluntary contraction intensity: %MVC)에 따른 MET를 측정하였다. 실험과정에서 ln(MET)의 다중선형회귀모델에서 유의확률을 산츨한 결과 %MVC와 전완길이가 유의한 독립변수임을 확인하였다 (P<0.05). 또한, 측정 MET와 기존의 두 가지 실증적 모델들 사이의 평균절대편차는 19.4초 였으나 전완길이를 적용한 모델을 이용한 경우 16.2초로 감소하였으며, 상관계수과 급내상관계수는 모두 평균 0.87 이었으나 전완길이를 적용했을 때 평균 0.91로 모두 증가하였다. 실험결과로부터 전완의 길이가 실증적 모델에 유의한 추가 요소임을 확인하였다.

Main cause of low back pain is a poor posture. Most low back pains are due to a poor posture. The poor posture induces muscle tension and finaliy low back pain. The poor posture arehabitually trained from the childhood by the environmetal factors. In general, maintaining good posture during working and sleeping hours are the first line of defence against back pam. (1) Supine posture is the easiest posture that relaxes and fixes muscles. Supine posture is thus a starting position for on exercise. Lying down releases the weight pressures of head and shoulder and thus body can be relaxed and extended which are helpful for treating back pain. However, supine posture can increase the pressure in ribcage posture aspect and disphragram due to visceral oragans. (2) Sitting in one position for a long time results in fatigue and relaxation of spinal muscies. Finally, body strength is weakened and sitting posture will become poor. If this poor posture continues for a longer time, pain will be accompanied due to overelongation of muscle ligaments. The habitual poor posture could induce intervertebral disc distortion. If the intervertebral disc is damaged, sitting in one position or movement causes pain. (3) Abnormal lumbar curve induces the tention of abdominal muscle and paravertebral muscle groups as well as tention of lower limb muscle group connected to pelvis. For a person with weak body strength, muscle relaxation increases curvature in lumbar, chest and cervical regions. This will induce a pelvic anterior tilting of the imaginary line between A. S. I. S. and P. S. I. S. Hip joint extensor muscle acts on releasing the pelvic anterior tilting. Contrections of hamstring muscle and femoral muscle recover the imaginary line between A.S.LS. and P.S.I.S. from pelvic anterior tilting. thus, contraction of rectus abdominis muscle are required to maintain the normal lumbar curve.

This study was designed to identify the effect of various decline boards and postures of lower extremities on surface electromyographic (EMG) activity of knee muscles during isometric single-leg decline squat exercises. The subjects were twenty young male adults who had not experienced any knee injury and their Q-angles were within a normal range. They were asked to perform single-leg decline squat exercises in five various conditions. The EMG activities of the gluteus maximus (GM), vastus lateralis (VL), vastus medialis (VMO), tibialis anterior (TA), and gastrocnemius (GCM) muscles were recorded in five various single-leg decline squat exercises by surface electrodes and normalized by maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) values. The normalized EMG activity levels were compared using one-way ANOVA with repeated measures. The results of this study were as follows: 1) Exercises 2 and 4 produced significantly greater EMG activity of VMO than did exercise 1 ($p_{adj}$<.05/10), 2) The VMO/VL ratio of EMG activity of exercise 4 was the highest, producing a significantly greater ratio than exercise 1 ($p_{adj}$<.05/10). These results show that single-leg lateral oblique decline squat exercise is the best exercise for selective strengthening of VMO, and the posture of the contralateral leg does also affect strengthening of VMO, but we'll need to research patellofemoral joint compression for clinical application of single-leg lateral oblique decline squat exercises.
