A sinusoidal rotatory chair system using a self-tuning and following control by a fuzzy was designed to evaluate the vestibular function and to apply to a robot driving power system. The experimental results by the sinusoidal rotatory chair system were pretty good and whitch had smaller then ${\pm}210$ pulse error on the ${\pm}810^{\circ}$ sinusoidal rotation at 0.12 Hz by using a 850W DC servo motor. As a results, the sinusoidal rotatory chair system may be useful to evaluate the vestibular function in the field of medicine, and it can be used to robotics or a numerical control system (NC) on the industry if the the obtained control method and the system are adapted for a channel.

The purpose of this study was to develop a sinusoidal rotatory chair systim for evaluating the vestibular function in patients suffered from vertigo with vestibualr disorders. The sinusoidal rotatory chair system is composed of a rotatory chair systim and softwares. Maximum velocity of the rotatiry chair was upto 60 degree per second and frequency range was 0.01 to 0.64 Hz. To evaluate the vestibular function in vertigo patients, vestibuloocular reflex was measured by sinusoidal rotation of the whole body about vertical axis in the darkness, and optokinetic nystagmus, visual vestibuloocular reflex , and visual supression test were also performed. Eye movement was measured by means of a electronystgmograph amplifier through Ag-AgCI surface electrodes. Gain, phase, and symmetry were obtained from analysis of the eye movement ineuced by vestibular or visual stimulation. In healthy adults, sinusoidal rotation of the shole body produced nystagmus, of which gain was directly proportional to the velocity of stimulation. The gain of visual vestibuloocular reflex or optokinetic nystagmus, and it was suppressed markedly by visual suppression test. These results suggest that the sinusoieal rotatory chair systim which was developed by this study can evaluate the vestibular function quantitatively, also this system is very useful to diagnose and to dstimate the vestibualr function during recovery from vertigo

전정기관은 자세의 조절에 관여하지만, 전정기관의 손상은 현기증 및 자세부조화를 초래한다. 본 연구에서는 현기증의 원인을 규명할 목적으로 전정기능을 평가할 수 있는 정현파 회전자극시스템을 개발하고자 하였다. 정현파 회전자극시스템은 회전의자와 구동 및 분석프로그램으로 구성하였으며, DC 서보모터로 구동되는 회전의자는 0.01-0.64 Hz의 주파수범위에서 60 ˚/sec의 초고속도로 정현파 회전한다. 현기증 환자에서 전정기능을 평가하기 위하여 전정안구반사, 시운동성 전정안구반사 및 시각의 억제에 의한 전정안구반사를 측정하여 안구운동의 이득, 위상, 대칭성 등을 산출하도록 정현파 회전자극시스템을 개발하였으며, 정상 성인에서 시험한 결과 신뢰성있는 성적을 얻었다. 따라서 본 시스템은 현기증 환자의 진단 및 치료정도를 판정할 수 있으르로 임상적으로 널리 사용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
