  • PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the muscle architecture of serratus anterior and lower trapezius using rehabilitative ultrasound imaging (RUSI) in affected and unaffected side of chronic stroke patients. METHODS: The participants were thirty five patients with stroke hemiplegia in this study. RUSI was used to measure the muscle thickness of the serratus anterior and lower trapezius muscles. We compared the muscle thickness according to affected side and sex, determined the reliability of the measurement image. Independent t-test, intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) and standard error of measurement (SEM) were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: Significant difference in muscle thickness of serratus anterior was observed between affected and unaffected side (p<.001). Muscle thickness according to gender showed a significant difference in unaffected side of serratus anterior (p<.05). Compare asymmetry ratio of serratus anterior and lower trapezius muscle thickness showed a significant difference (p<.001). ICC for intra-reliability was .944~.962 in serratus anterior and .873~.925 in lower trapezius muscle thickness, respectively. SEM was .001~.004 in serratus anterior and .002~.008 in lower trapezius muscle. CONCLUSION: This study, using RUSI, showed significant difference in muscle thickness of serratus anterior in affected and unaffected side of stroke patients. RUSI is a practical tool for measuring soft-tissue thickness in the scapular region muscle of stroke.

  • Purpose : This study aimed to identify the asymmetry observed in the rehabilitative ultrasound imaging of lateral abdominal muscle thickness and performance between the affected and unaffected side during the abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM), an exercise used to facilitate activation of selectively TrA to stabilize the trunk prior to limb movement. Methods : The Participants were twenty one patients with post-stroke hemiplegia in this study. Ultrasound imaging was used to measure amount of changes in thickness of the external oblique (EO), internal oblique (IO), transversus abdominis (TrA). A Paired t-test was used to compare relaxed muscle thickness to contracted muscle thickness of all 3 muscles between the affected and unaffected sides. Results : The outcome measures included side to side differences of absolute thickness, contraction ratio among the lateral abdominal muscles. There was no significantly difference in between the affected and unaffected side at rest. But, there was a significantly difference in absolute muscle thickness between the affected and unaffected side of only TrA muscle. Also contraction ratio was a significantly difference between the affected and unaffected TrA muscle. Conclusion : These findings support the asymmetrical activation of TrA muscle during abdominal muscle contraction in patients with post-stroke hemiplegia. Further studies are warranted for confirming this outcome.

  • This paper investigates dynamic characteristics of a graphene nanoplatelets reinforced composite (GNPRC) sandwich doubly curved shell based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and Hamilton's principle. The sandwich doubly curved shell is fabricated from a core made of honeycomb materials sandwiched by composite GNPs reinforced face-sheets. Effective materials properties of composite face-sheets are assumed to vary based on Halpin-Tsai micromechanical models and rule of mixture. Furthermore, the material properties of honeycomb core are estimated using Gibson's formula. The fundamental frequencies of the shell are computed with changes of main geometrical and material properties such as amount and distribution type of graphene nanoplatelets, side length ratio, thickness to length ratio of and side length ratio of honeycomb. The Navier's technique is presented to obtain responses. Accuracy and trueness of the present model and analytical solution is confirmed through comparison of the results with available results in literature. It is concluded that an increase in thickness to length ratio yields a softer core with lower natural frequencies. Furthermore, increase in height to length ratio leads to significant decrease in natural frequencies.

  • PURPOSE: Although the abdominal drawing-in maneuver is commonly used in clinical training for trunk stability, performing this procedure in stroke patients is difficult; instead, maximal expiration can be much easily performed in stroke patients. In the present study, we first aimed to demonstrate the effects of the abdominal drawing-in maneuver and maximal expiration on trunk stability in stroke patients. Moreover, we compared the thickness of the transverse abdominal, internal oblique, and external oblique muscles on the paretic and non-paretic sides. METHODS: We used ultrasonography to measure the change in the thickness of the transverse abdominal, internal oblique, and external oblique muscles on the paretic and non-paretic sides at rest, while performing the abdominal drawing-in maneuver, and while performing maximal expiration in 23 stroke patients. The ratio of muscle thickness between different conditions was estimated and included in the data analysis (abdominal drawing-in maneuver / at rest and, maximal expiration / at rest). RESULTS: The ratio of the thickness of the transverse abdominal, internal oblique and external oblique muscles during maximal expiration was significantly different on the paretic side (p < 0.05). The ratio of muscle thicknesses on the non-paretic side was greater during maximal expiration than during the abdominal drawing-in maneuver, although this difference was not significant (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that maximal expiration more effectively increased the abdominal muscle thickness on the paretic side. Hence, we recommend the application of maximal expiration in clinical trunk stability training on the paretic side of stroke patients.

  • 목 적 : 폐의 우측후사방향 선량전달시, Carbon Side Rail과 환자 고정기구인 Vac-lok이 미치는 영향을 보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : Vac-lok의 오른쪽 부분을 10, 20, 30 mm 두께로 제작하였다. 측정은 유리선량계를 이용하여 측정하였고, 측정점은 팬텀 우측 폐의 center Point를 기준으로 좌, 우, 하, 상 방향 각각 A, B, C, D Point로 설정 하였다. 각 point에 유리선량계를 삽입한 후 couch의 Side Rail을 외측(Out)으로 뺀 후 vac-lok을 놓지 않은 no vac-lok, 그리고 10, 20, 30 mm의 vac-lok 위에 팬텀을 세팅하였다. 중심점에 6 MV 광자선을 조사야 $10{\times}10cm^2$, SAD 100 cm, 겐트리 각도 $225^{\circ}$로 하여 300 MU/min 선량률과 100 MU 조사선량을 전달하였다. 측정은 5회씩 실시하였고, 마찬가지로 Side Rail을 내측(In)으로 넣은 후 각 point에 대해서도 같은 조건으로 5 회씩 측정하여 평균값을 산출하였다. 결 과 : side rail에 따라서는 중심점, A, B, C, D Point 각각 -11.8 %, -12.3 %, -4.1 %, -12.3 %, -7.3 %의 선량 감소를 보였다. Side-Rail-Out에서 10 mm vac-lok의 경우 약 -0.9 %가 감소되었고, 20 mm vac-lok 사용 시 약 -2.0 %, 30 mm vac-lock 사용 시 약 -3.0 %가 감소되었다. Side-Rail-In에서 10 mm vac-lok의 경우 약 -1.0 %가 감소되었고, 20 mm vac-lok 사용 시 약 -2.1 %, 30 mm vac-lok 사용 시 약 -3.0 %가 감소되었다. Side-Rail-In 상태의 no vac-lok 선량 값을 기준으로 Side-Rail-Out 상태의 10, 20, 30 mm vac-lok을 사용할 때, side rail에 대한 선량 감소에 더하여 중심점에서는 약 -0.9 %, -1.8 % -2.4 %, A point에서는 -0.5 %, -1.6 %, -2.1 %, B point에서는 약 -0.9 %, -2.0 %, -3.2 %, C Point에서는 -1.0 %, -2.1 %, -3.1 %, D point에서는 약 -1.0 %, -1.6 %, -3.1 %의 추가적인 선량 감소를 나타냈다. 결 론 : 폐를 비롯한 우측후사방향 방사선 치료 시 side rail에 대해 주의를 기울이고, vac-lok 제작 시 vaclok 두께에 대해 관심을 갖는다면 더 나은 치료 효과를 기대해 볼 수 있으리라 사료된다.

  • The effect of specimen thickness on fatigue crack growth behavior has been carried out by compact tension specimens of thickness of 3mm, 10mm and 25mm for maraging steel and Al 7075-T6. The closure points were determined during the test by means of a clip-gage situated at the notch mouth. Specimen thickness have no apparent influence on the fatigue crack growth rate of maraging steel, but the crack growth rate of 25mm thickness specimen for Al 7075-T6 is faster than that of 3 and 10mm specimens. The difference of crack growth rates can be successfully explained by considering the different stress state of plane strain and plain stress due to the variation of specimen thickness. Also the crack opening ratio of 25mm specimen is greater than those of 3 and 10mm specimens. When a side groove is introduced in a 10mm specimen, the crack growth rate is approximately similar to that of 25mm specimen. The effective thickness expression of $B_e=B_o-(B_o-B_N)^2B_o$ is the most appropriate to evaluate the crack growth rate of side-grooved specimen. Fatigue crack growth rates can be well described by $\Delta K_{eff}$ of the crack closure points in regardless of all thickness and side-grooved specimens.

  • In this article, a four-variable refined plate theory is presented for buckling analysis of functionally graded plates subjected to uniform, linear and non-linear temperature rises across the thickness direction. The theory accounts for parabolic distribution of the transverse shear strains, and satisfies the zero traction boundary conditions on the surfaces of the plate without using shear correction factor. Young's modulus and Poisson ratio of the FGM plates are assumed to remain constant throughout the entire plate. However, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the FGM plate varies according to a power law form through the thickness coordinate. Equilibrium and stability equations are derived based on the present theory. The influences of many plate parameters on buckling temperature difference such ratio of thermal expansion, aspect ratio, side-to-thickness ratio and gradient index will be investigated.

  • Magnet gear transfers a high speed torque of the driving side to a low speed following side. Of course, the torque is amplified as much as a ratio between pole number of magnet gears constituting both sides through ferromagnet modulator. However, the parameters of the overall magnetic system influence the transmitting torque strongly. They include a pole number of permanent magnet, magnet thickness, reducing ratio, harmonic modulator thickness, and open ratio etc. In this paper, the influences of the parameters are analyzed using finite element method tool. By comparison, a desirable design specification is proposed, including a recommended modulator pattern.

  • The purposes of this study were to measure the film thickness of zinc phosphate cement between the casting restorations and preparation walls. In addition, the differences between finger press and non press techniques after the castings were seated completely on the preparation by an automatic mallet until the cement set were studied. The results were as follows : 1) In full cast crown, the cement film thickness on the side wall was thinner than that on the other walls. 2) In 3/4 crown and inlay, the cement thickness was thinner than that in cast crowns. 3) The cement of great W/P ratio showed thinner thickness than that of little W/P ratio. 4) The continuous finger press after the castings were seated completely on the preparations had few influence on the cement film thickness.
