본 연구는 정상 성인의 팔 흔들기 종류에 따른 보행 시 운동역학적인 변화를 알아보기 위해서 실시하였다. 정상 성인 대학생 45명을 대상으로 정상 팔 흔들기, 한 팔 흔들기, 두 팔 움직임 없음 보행, 인위적인 팔 흔들기의 4가지 팔 흔들기 종류에 따라 실험을 진행하였다. 이들의 운동역학적인 변화를 알아보기 위해 3차원적 관절 운동역학적 변화 검사인 6-camera Vicon MX motion analysis system을 통해 보행 변수를 측정하였다. 팔 흔들기에 따른 운동역학적인 매개 변수들인 각 관절에서 보행속도, 엉덩관절 일률, 말기 디딤기의 수직 지면반발력에서 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<.05). 이러한 연구결과는 팔 흔들기 종류에 따라서 정상인과 환자들의 치료와 평가를 위한 지침으로서 임상에서 사용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 정상 성인의 팔 움직임 종류에 따른 운동형상학적인 변화를 알아보기 위함이다. 45명의 정상 성인을 대상으로 네 가지 팔 움직임 종류인, 정상 팔 움직임 보행, 한 팔 움직임 보행, 두 팔 움직임 억제 보행, 파워 보행의 순서대로 실시하였다. 실험 대상자가 10m의 보행거리를 자연스럽게 걷는 동안 3차원 보행분석기인 Vicon동작 분석기의 6MX3카메라를 이용해서 측정을 하였다. 이 실험의 자료는 2010년 6월부터 8월까지 수집되었다. 팔 움직임에 따른 운동 형상학적 보행변수의 변화는 정상과 비교해 시상면에서 오른쪽 골반, 엉덩관절의 관절 운동범위, 관상면에서 골반, 엉덩관절, 허리부위에 관절 운동범위, 횡단면에서는 골반, 가슴부위, 허리부위의 관절 운동범위에서 차이를 나타냈다(p<.05). 본 연구의 결과 팔 움직임의 형태에 따라 보행을 하게 되면 운동 형상학적 변화를 나타내고, 이러한 연구 결과는 임상에서 정상인과 환자들의 보행 비교 자료로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of biomechanical variables on gait according to indoor and outdoor environmental conditions in elderly women at risk of falling. Method: 26 elderly women aged 70 years or older, and consisted of 13 elderly people with a walking speed of less 1.0 m/s and 13 people in the fall risk group as normal groups. Depending on the purpose of the study, physical examination and psychological questionnaire were prepared, and then walking was performed in an indoor/outdoor environment, and the gait pattern, muscle activity, and plantar pressure results were compared and analyzed in the elderly females through a 2 group × 2 environment 2-way repeted ANOVA analysis. Results: The gait variable showed an interaction effect the cadence. The muscle variables showed interaction effects in the rectus femoris and tibialis anterior muscles, and the interaction effects of the plantar pressure variables were confirmed in the forefoot and midfoot of the contact area, and the midfoot of the mean pressure. Conclusion: These results indicate that both groups are exposed to falls risk when gait in an outdoor environment, but the fall risk group has a higher risk of falls in both the gait pattern, muscle activity, and plantar pressure variables. The results of this study are considered to be helpful as basic data and development of exercise programs to prevent falls.

Purpose : The Purpose of this study is to investigate the values of foot pressure during gait cycle according to adaptation and sudden remove of various color information. Methods : Participants who met the criteria for this study (n=13). RS-Scan was used to measure plantar foot pressur according to Five kinds of color information in this study. Results : The adaptation of various color information is no statistically significant on all area. But sudden remove of various color information is statistically significant on T2-5, M5 and MF area. Conclusion : The results of this study suggest that sudden remove of various color information reduces the ability of balance during gait in normal adults. And these results means that increase risk of falling down according to sudden remove of various color information.

심폐기능 허약자의 경우 다른 보행기능은 정상이지만 산소 공급에 문제가 발생된 경우로서, 에너지 소모를 최소한으로 줄여주는 보행보조 시스템이 필요하다. 심폐기능 허약자의 보행을 원활히 보조하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 고관절에 부착된 DC모터를 이용하여, 보행시 고관절 굴곡 및 신전을 제어하는 시스템을 고안하였다. 두 개의 모터를 좌우 고관절에 부착되어 정상 보행패턴을 기준으로 고관절의 굴곡과 신전의 설정각도를 정의하고 보행을 보조한다. 실험결과 보행보조에 의한 에너지 소모도 감소는 14.8%이었다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of reduced plantar cutaneous sensation on gait kinematics during walking with and without CAI. Method: A total of 20 subjects involved in this study and ten healthy subjects and 10 CAI subjects participated underwent ice-immersion of the plantar aspect of the feet before walking test in this study. The gait kinematics were measured before and after ice-immersion. Results: We observed a before ice-immersion on plantar cutaneous sensation, CAI subject were found to reduced ankle dorsiflexion, knee external rotation, hip adduction, and internal rotation compared to control subject. After ice-immersion, CAI subjects were found to reduce knee external rotation, hip adduction. However, no significant ankle joint kinematics. Conclusion: While walking, gait pattern differences were perceived between groups with and without plantar cutaneous sensation. The results of the study may explain the abductions in the hip angle movements in CAI patients at initial contact compared to healthy subjects in the control group when plantar cutaneous sensation was reduced. A change in proximal joint kinematics may be a conservative strategy to promote normal gait patterns in CAI patients.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of wrist and trunk weight loading using sandbags in stroke patients in order to provide the quantitative data for enhancement of gait movement. Method: Twelve stroke patients, who have been diagnosed with hemiplegia over a year ago, were participated in this study. All subjects were asked to perform normal walking [N], wrist sandbag walking [W], wrist & trunk sandbag walking [WT], and both wrist sandbag walking [B] and both wrist & trunk sandbag walking [BT], respectively. Eight infrared cameras were used to collect the raw data. Gait parameters, arm swing, shoulder-pelvic kinematics, and lower extremity joint angle were calculated to examine the differences during walking. Results: As a result, there were no significant differences in the gait parameters, shoulder-pelvis, and lower extremities joint angles, but significant differences were found in the range of motion and the anteversion in arm swing. Conclusion: Wrist and trunk weight loading using sandbags affected the movement of the upper extremities only while it did not affect the movement of the lower extremities. It implies that it can reduce the risk of falling caused by a sudden movement change in lower extremities. In addition, the wrist and trunk weight loading using sandbags can induce changes in movement of the upper extremities independently and contribute to functional rehabilitation through resistance training.

The biomechanical interaction between the stump and the prosthetic socket is critically important to achieve close-to-normal ambulation. Many investigators suggested that the pressure changes during gait of transfemoral amputees are closely related to the prosthetic alignment, the socket shape, the stump size, and the residual muscle activity. The effects of the prosthetic alignment, the socket shape, and the stump size on the interface pressure were investigated previously. However, there is no report how the residual muscle activities in the transfemoral stump affect the socket interface pressure characteristics during gait. Since designs of socket fur lower limb amputees need to consider the socket interface pressure characteristics, the interface pressure patterns by the residual muscle activities during gait should be investigated. In this study, myoelectric signals (MES) and socket interface pressure in residual limb of transfemoral amputees were measured during the stance and swing phases of gait. For the purpose, specially designed quadrilateral sockets that MES electrodes could be instrumented were fabricated. A total of two transfemoral amputees were participated in the experiments. The measured temporal MES amplitude and interface pressure in knee flexor (biceps femoris) and extensor (rectus femoris) had significant correlations (P ＜ 0.05). Based on the test results, It was suggested that the residual muscle activity of transfemoral amputees stump is an important factor affecting socket pressure changes during walk.
