본 논문에서는 균형평가도구 중 임상에서 가장 많이 사용되는 BBS(Berg Balance Scale)를 머신러닝 기법을 이용하여 점수 분류 정확도를 제시한다. 데이터취득은 Noraxon 시스템을 이용하여, 신체 8군데(왼쪽 오른쪽 발목, 왼쪽 오른쪽 엉덩이 위, 왼쪽 오른쪽 손목, 등(Back), 이마)에 관성센서를 부착하였다. 관성센서의 3축 가속도데이터를 기반으로 특징벡터 STFT(Short Time Fourier Transform), SAM(Signal Area Magnitude)를 추출하였다. 그 다음, BBS의 항목을 동작특성에 따라 정적인 동작(static movement)과 동적인 동작(dynamic movement)으로 나누었고, BBS의 각 항목에 대하여 점수에 영향이 있는 센서부착위치에 따라 특징벡터를 선별하였다. BBS의 항목마다 선별된 특징벡터는 GMM(Gaussian Mixture Model)을 이용하여 분류하였다. 실험대상자 40명에 대한 정확도 산출결과, 1번순으로 차례대로 55.5%, 72.2%, 87.5%, 50%, 35.1%, 62.5%, 43.3%, 58.6%, 60.7%, 33.3%, 44.8%, 89.2%, 51.8%, 85.1%의 분류 정확도를 확인하였다.

We studied the effect of vibratory stimulations of different leg muscles, tibialis anterior(TA) and triceps surae(TS), and plantar zones in ten healthy subjects during 1) quiet standing, 2) forward lean of body, 3) backward lean of body, 4) right lean of body, and 5) left lean of body. The experiments were performed on the force platform. The effect of vibration were measured by monitoring the area of COP(Center of pressure) sway. The subjects wore a vibratory stimulation system on foot and ankles and were given the instruction not to resist against the applied perturbations. The results show that all vibratory stimulations to lower limb muscles and plantar zones reduced the COP sway area. This reduction of the COP sway area occurred also in partial vibratory stimulations during quiet standing. In forward lean of body, vibratory stimulations to TA reduced the COP sway area. During backward lean of body, vibratory stimulations to TS reduced the COP sway area. When the subject was tilted right, vibratory stimulations to left plantar zone reduced the COP sway area. During left lean of body, vibratory stimulations to right plantar zone reduced the COP sway area. Thus, the influence of vibratory stimulations to leg muscle and plantar zones differed significantly depending on the lean of body. We suggest that the vibration stimuli from leg muscles and plantar zones could be selectively used to help maintaining postural balance stable.

In dance sport, hip movement is the most basic and essential technique, connecting the body movements to make the body move organically, and providing an overall balance of body movements. From that perspective, this study focused on the Cucarachas movement, representing a series of efficient hip movements in the center of gravity. For the purposes of this study, 4 dance sport participants who had won prizes at international contests were selected in order to analyze such variables as the radius of gyration (shift) on the hips and the shift of the center of gravity when scapula depression was performed and when it was not. To examine differences in these kinematic variables, a paired t-test was conducted, resulting in the following findings: First, the dancers were found to be able to control scapula depression, and a significant difference was observed in the vertical axis(Z) between the times when scapula depression was performed and when it was not. Second, when scapula depression was performed, shifts in the left-right axis(X) and anterior-posterior axis(Y) were found; the left-right axis showed a greater difference than the anterior-posterior axis. Third, scapula depression was found to have an influence on the shift to the left-right axis(X) of the center of gravity.

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Kinesio taping and massage application to the calf muscles on ankle stability. METHODS: The study subjects were 66 healthy adults (male: 32, female: 34) who had no instability in their ankles. Subjects were randomly assigned to a Kinesio taping group or a massage group. The research tool used the Y-balance test to measure instability of the ankle. The distance between the right and left foot was measured from the center in the anterior, posterior-medial, and posterior-lateral directions. Massage was applied to the calf muscles three times over two weeks and Kinesio tape was attached to the calf muscle and tibialis anterior for 10 hours twice during the experimental period. RESULTS: The results showed that application of Kinesio taping resulted in increases in the distance between the feet increased in some directions. After the massage, the distance extended from the anterior and posterior-lateral directions was prolonged, and the ankle stability on the right and left sides was partially improved by massage application. CONCLUSION: Kinesio taping and massage applied to the calf muscles are appropriate interventions for the improvement of ankle stability. Based on the application times of massage, Kinesio taping appears to work more effectively for ankle stability.

본 연구는 대구 Y대학교에 재학 중인 20대 대학생 15명을 무작위로 선발하였다. 실험 군은 총 3군으로 실험 전 각 실험 대상자들의 균형능력을 측정한 후, 시각되먹임을 이용한 균형운동으로 닌텐도 Wii(Nintendo -RVL-001(KOR)를 사용한 집단, 시각과 토구를 이용한 균형운동 집단, 시각을 차단하고 토구를 이용한 균형운동 집단 등 각 집단 5명을 훈련시킨 후 MFT와 EMG를 이용하여 측정하였다. MFT측정 결과 시각되먹임을 이용한 균형 훈련과 시각되먹임과 체성감각을 병행한 균형 훈련과의 상관관계에서는 유의한 결과를 나타내었고, 시각되먹임과 체성감각을 병행한 균형훈련과 체성감각만을 이용한 균형 훈련에서도 유의한 결과를 나타내었다(p<.05). EMG 측정 결과 시각되먹임을 이용한 훈련과 시각되먹임과 체성감각을 병행한 균형훈련과의 상관관계는 유의한 결과를 나타냈고(p<.05), 시각되먹임을 이용한 훈련과 체성감각만을 이용한 균형훈련, 그리고 체성감각만을 이용한 균형훈련과 시각되먹임을 병행한 체성감각훈련 사이에서는 유의한 결과가 나타나지 않았다. 본 실험에서는 시각되먹임만을 이용한 균형훈련보다 체성감각훈련을 병행하는 것이 더욱 효과적이었다. 따라서 균형능력이 감소된 환자들의 균형감각능력증진에 체성감각훈련이 좌우차이와 좌우빈도를 맞추는데 효과적이고 시각되먹임은 동적 균형 증진에 효과적이므로 이 두 훈련을 병행하는 것이 가장 효과적일 것이라고 생각된다.

Background: Alignment of the lower limb is an important factor, influencing balance and gait in kinematics and kinetics, in patients with and without a flat arched foot. Flat arched foot are associated with the range of motion (ROM) of the hip and alignments of the knee joints, is strongly influenced. Objects: The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between hip joint ROM and quadriceps angle (Q-angle), by dividing them into two groups according to the presence or absence of flat feet, using a navicular drop test (NDT) and resting calcaneal stance position (RCSP). Methods: Forty elderly patients were allocated to the experimental group (flat foot group, n1=20) or the control group (non-flat group, n2=20). Universal and digital goniometer, tractograph and tape measure were used to determine the related changes in the hip ROM, Q-angle, NDT and RCSP. Results: Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficients. Active internal ROM of the hip joint (right, r=.803, p<.001), (left, r=.951, p<.001) were highly correlated with NDT, and also, was moderately correlated with Q-angle (right, r=.562, p=.019), (left, r=.757, p<.001). Passive internal ROM of the hip joint (right, r=.742, p=.001), (left, r=.922, p<.001) were highly correlated with NDT, and also, was moderately correlated with RCSP (right, r=-.530, p=.029) and with Q-angle (right, r=.710, p=.001), (left, r=.698, p=.002) in the flat foot group. However, no strong correlation among the hip ROM, NDT, RCSP and Q-angle were found in the non-flat foot group. Conclusion: This research may provide evidence of the correlations between hip internal ROM and flat foot.

The original focus of this study was to investigate the immediate effects of lumbar rotational mobilization on the one-legged standing ability. Fifteen subjects (6 men and 9 women, mean age = 22.77 (SD = 1.21), mean height = 165.46cm (SD = 11.65), mean weight = 61.46kg (SD = 8.29) volunteers from healthy individuals were recruited and randomized to a lumbar rotational mobilization (LRM) group and a trunk rotational exercise (TRE) group. Mobilization (grade 3 or 4) was applied to the LRM group on the lumbar spine (L1 to L5) in a side-lying, and trunk twist exercise (left and right side) was applied the to the TRE group with lunge position. Center of pressure (COP) and the velocity of the center of pressure (VCOP) of each participant were measured as a balance ability through one leg standing position. Results are as follows. In within-group difference, the COP of the LRM group reduced during standing with the right foot, but the VCOP change of the LRM was not statistically significant. In between-groups difference, COP of TRE group was decreased compared with LRM group only during left leg standing in the eyes (p <.05). The results of this study suggest that LRM is more effective than TRE in improving balance ability.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in balancing ability and weight bearing between paretic and non-paretic. Methods: Subjects of the study were consisted of 30 acute hemiplegia patients(paretic 15, non-paretic 15) who were receiving rehabilitation therapy in hospital. Weight shifting was quantitatively evaluated to determine the ability of patients to and during conscious weight shifting on the Gaitview. Independent t-test was utilized to detect the mean difference between the groups. Results: 15 patients with stroke were able to shift more weight onto the paretic leg. And pressure ratio of right hemiplegia was significantly difference on the nonparetic leg, pressure ratio of left hemiplegia was significantly difference onto the paretic leg. Conclusions: Patients with left hemiplegia who was cortical lesions in the right hemisphere were able to shift more body weight onto their paretic leg. These patients should be encouraged to practice shifting their weight towards their non-paretic leg to improve their balance.

The understanding the natureof occlusal tooth contacts of natural dentition is important for correct diagnosis and treatment of diseases developed in stomatognatic system. Several investigator have studied the distribution of tooth contacts in maximum intercuspation and have reported contact locations with respect to the tooth position. Many methods have been clinically applied for the occlusal analysis in the intercuspal position. However, there are few quantative methods. This study analyzed the new software version of the T-Scan system to record and analyze occlusal contact balance in the anterior-posterior and right-left directions. Six time moment statistics and five moment statistics were calculated in the midsagittal and the incisal axes of the occlusal plane. In the present study, informed consent was obtained from 100 subjects with natural dentitions. The results were as follows ; 1. The mean of the dental arch length & width were 48.78, 65.32mm in whole population, 49.09mm, 65.50mm in males, 48.78mm, 64.63mm in females, respectively. 2. The mean of TLR & PLR were 0.193mm(left), 0.311mm(left), respectively. Therefore, the distribution of tooth contacts was bilaterally symmetric. 3. The mean of TFB & PFB were 29.168mm, 29.055mm, and that of LFB & RFB were 29.627mm, 29.587mm, respectively, and the qualitative center of occlusal contacts was the firtst molar. 4. The mean of LL & RL were 31.666mm, 31.377mm, respectively, and the quantitative center of occlusal force was the first molar. 5. The mean of LF & RF were 60.237N, 59.276N, respectively and Left-right moment was 72.491Nmm. Therfore, the distribution of occlusal force was bilaterally balanced.

본 연구는 여자대학 체조선수 3명을 대상으로 평균대의 좌측 턴 동작 시 성공과 실패에 따른 동적 자세조절에 미치는 신체중심(C.O.G) 변화와 안구 움직임(E.O.G)의 관계를 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 성공 시 몸통이 $180^{\circ}$ 회전하는 시점까지 C.O.G는 회전방향으로 이동되는 경향이었으며, 실패 시에도 동일한 경향이 나타났지만 C.O.G의 편차가 상대적으로 큰 이동을 보여 동적 자세 조절 유지에 영향을 미치는 특징이 있었다. 회전 동작 시 E.O.G는 몸통의 회전 방향과 안구가 반대로 이동한다는 사전 이론과 일치하였지만 중심이동 시점에서는 차이가 있었으며 동작의 성패에서는 확연한 차이가 나타났다. 또한 실패 시 상-하 E.O.G는 대부분이 하 방향으로 작용하는 특성을 나타내고 있어서 실패의 원인과의 연관성을 분석할 필요를 느꼈다. 따라서 평균대 턴 동작에서 동적 자세 조절능력과 E.O.G의 운동역학적인 후속연구가 심층적으로 수행된다면 미세한 원인을 규명할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
