  • 본 연구에서는 사용자 스스로가 바른 자세를 교정 할 수 있도록 도움을 줄 수 있는 스마트폰 기반의 자이로 센서를 이용한 착용형 자세 교정 시스템을 구현하였다. 이를 위하여 2개의 자이로 센서를 Y자 서스펜더 상, 하에 각각 부착하여 신체의 기울기를 측정하였으며, 블루투스 통신을 이용하여 스마트폰으로 데이터를 전송하였다. 전송된 신체의 기울기 정보는 바른 자세에 대한 평균 기울기 정보와 비교하여 바른 자세와 잘못된 자세를 판단하고자 하였으며, 이를 위한 스마트폰 기반의 어플리케이션을 구현하였다. 구현된 어플리케이션은 자세 판별뿐만 아니라 현재의 자세 정보를 직관적으로 표현하기 위한 모니터링 부와 잘못된 자세 검출 시 진동이나 알림 음 또는 팝업 메시지를 통해 사용자에게 전달하는 알림 기능을 구성하였다. 또한 구현된 시스템으로부터 대표적인 잘못된 자세 4가지에 대한 검출 실험을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 100% 검출이 가능함을 확인하였다.

  • The Mahalanobis-Taguchi System is a diagnosis and predictive method for analyzing patterns in multivariate cases. The goal of this study is diagnosis of the spondylolisthesis from biomedical data that is derived from the shape and orientation of the pelvis and lumbar spine. The data set has six attributes including pelvic incidence, pelvic tilt, lumbar lordosis angle, sacral slope, pelvic radius and grade of spondylolisthesis and two class including normal and abnormal. From University of California at Irvine machine learning repository, 100 normal and 150 spondylolisthesis patient's data were used for this study. Mahalanobis Taguchi System (MTS) application process and the diagnosis results were described in this paper.

Charcot Spinal Arthropathy with Extensive Vertebral Body Destruction and Cerebrospinal Fluid Collection: A Case Report Mimicking Infective Spondylitis (척추체의 광범위한 파괴와 뇌척수액 축적이 동반된 샤르코 척추 관절병증: 감염성 척추염과 유사한 소견을 보이는 증례보고)

  • A 68-year-old man presented with a bed sore with pus discharge on lower back. Radiographs showed extensive destruction of the L4 vertebral body. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed fluid collection with an enhanced wall at the defect of the L4 vertebral body extending into both psoas muscles. The primary diagnosis was neuropathic spondylopathy, but infective spondylitis was not ruled out. Initially, he was treated with antibiotics for two weeks. A follow-up MRI showed no improvement of the abscess, so surgical exploration was done. Charcot spinal arthropathy resulted in extensive vertebral body destruction that may be similar to infectious spondylitis, particularly in the case with fluid accumulation due to rupture of dura.

  • Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify relationship between the PWV and the temperature difference. Methods: When it comes to senile patients who suffer from cold limbs, there is need to see whether or not the patient's low temperature of the limbs is do to arteriosclerosis. The Pulse Wave Velocity(PWV) is a non-invasive method measuring the artery's rigidness. And the Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging(D.I.T.I) is a non-invasive method to see the body's thermal change. Research on the interrelationship of the artery's rigidness and body's thermal distribution was done by using these two tests. The subjects of this research were patients between the age 40~65 who have done both the D.I.T.I and PWV in March 2005~ September 2005. They had to have no history of diabetes, coronary illnesses or cerebrovascular diseases which are diseases that can effect the outcome of the PVW, nor history of spondylopathy or dermatosis which can effect the outcome of the D.I.T.I. Results: The results were as follows. 1. There was a significant interrelationship between the right wrist-ankle PWV and the temperature difference of the right wrist-palm. 2. There was a significant interrelationship between the left wrist-ankle PWV and the temperature difference of the left wrist-palm. 3. There was no significant interrelationship between the right wrist-ankle PWV and the temperature difference of the right thigh-dorsum of foot. 4. There was no significant interrelationship between the left wrist-ankle PWV and the temperature difference of the left thigh-dorsum of foot. 5. The right ABI showed no significant interrelationship between the temperature difference of the right wrist-palm and the right thigh-dorsum of foot. 6. The left ABI showed no significant interrelationship between the temperature difference of the left wrist-palm and the left thigh-dorsum of foot. Conclusion: The study shows that there was a significant interrelationship between wrist-ankle PWV and the temperature difference of wrist-palm.

  • Since the spine radiography were explained differently at every several hospitals and textbooks. the technique has not been accurately defined and interfered each other. We would like to define the most appropriate positioning for clinical cases, and reference books, by comparing scoliotic angle and lordotic angle. From Mar 2009 to Sep 2011, 85 patient cases were studied, who had not been undergone surgical treatment among spondylopathy patients. Scoliotic angle and lordotic angle were measured, using Cobb's method. We analyzed statistically using t-test(SPSS 18), and evaluated spine general radiography position. Moreover, we researched on the actual condition at 10 university hospitals in Seoul. The results of scoliotic angle measurement, the value at erect position showed 20.98% higher than supine position, and it has statistical significance (p<.01). In lordotic angle measurement, the value at neutral holding position represented 29.3% higher than supine position, and it also has statistical significance(p<.01). The results of clinical survey, supine posine(70.0%) took much higher possession than erect position(30.0%). In conclusion, compare to supine position, erect position shows increased scoliotic and lordotic angle. It was agreed with the importance of clinical erect position radiography, which gravity affects. So clinical radiologist must recognize the difference, and conduct an accurate study.
