The purpose of the study is to search for the possibility of the application of kinematics analysis to physical education at schools and expand its scope of application. This study chose 9 college students majoring in physical education and classified them into type A group who can make the straight, vertical handstand, type B group whose waist is bent, type C group who cannot handstand completely. The center of mass, distance between hand and leg, and the angle and angular velocity of each joint were obtained. The result of this study is this. 1. The time for CM showed 6:4 for A group and 5:5 for B and C groups. The distance between hand and foot in the event 3 was 44% of the height for A group, and 41% for B and C groups. A Group showed the higher CM positional significant difference, it was vertically direction below the hip joint at front. For significant difference of the B Group showed horizontal and vertical velocity of the CM, the highest vertical was obtained in phase 3. The difference of angle of shoulder join in the flexion/extension was showed gradually extension event 2 and the height angular velocity was at phase 3 in the A group. 2 The analysis of the handstand motion revealed that the phase 3, but the maintenance of posture start part the handstand is also very important. Through these results, this study confirmed that the time for phase of the CM, horizontal and vertical positions, velocity, the distance between hands and foot, and the difference of the angle and angular velocity of hip joint and shoulder joint can be set as the variables of analysis. It was also definite cause that the handstand motions of college students majoring in physical education had many difference in performance.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the influences of hospital employees' daily life posture habits and work-related factors upon musculoskeletal subjective symptoms. Methods: This study was a descriptive survey study. Data were collected using structured a self-report questionnaire between April 1 and May 31, 2015. One hundred and ninety two employees were recruited in three hospitals. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ${\chi}^2$ test, t-test, and binomial logistic regression. Results: The habit of leaning on one side and the habit of bending the back in an improper posture are key postures based on lifestyle affecting musculoskeletal subjective symptoms in neck, shoulders, arms, waist, and legs. Labours accompanying repeated arm movements for a long time are key work-related risk factors affecting musculoskeletal subjective symptoms in arms. Conclusion: The results of this study confirmed that, to prevent musculoskeletal diseases, it is necessary to identify and mediate personal factors like daily life posture habits as well as work-related risk factors. They may be utilized as basic materials for education of musculoskeletal health promotion and development of life guidance programs.

This study was done by the expansion and contraction rate consideration of length, girth Also, the lower half of body shape-change on the movements and body-shapes by flat shell was done simultaneously. The summarized findings resulted from experiments and investigation are suggested as follows; First, when commpared the expansion and contraction rate of the length and girth items, the expansion rate of the back crotch length (14~20%), hip girth (10~ 21%) and knee girth (6.2~18.5%) in rabbit leap movement was the most notable among all variables considered in this experimentation. On the others hand, the front croth length (-22~-52%) contracted remarkably. And big-thigh type was the most notable on the body-shape comparision. Second, in comparision of the expansion and contraction rate of the area on the blocks, the expansion of the hip (50~200%) and knee (51~74%) block was the most remarkable. Especially, in the sit on knees movement of the hip-down type expanded 209.4%. Third, in comparision of the lower half of body shape-change, on the movements and body- shapes by the flat shell, under the influence of knee-joint and hip-joint the shape-changs of the hip and knee block was the most notable. But the shape-change of the waist, abdomen, calf, and ankle was feeble.

본 논문에서는 키넥트 센서를 기반으로 한 휘트니스(Fitness) 동작의 정확성을 피드백 하는 윈도우 애플리케이션 KITNESS를 설계하고 구현한다. 이 애플리케이션의 특징은 키넥트의 카메라와 관절 인식 센서를 활용하여 사용자가 정확한 휘트니스 자세로 운동할 수 있도록 피드백을 주는 것이다. 이때 키넥트의 IR Emitter와 IR Depth Sensor를 이용하여 사용자와 키넥트 간의 거리를 측정하고, 사용자의 관절 위치인 조인트(Joint)와 각 관절의 스켈레톤(Skeleton) 데이터를 측정한다. 이러한 데이터를 이용하여 사용자의 관절 위치와 자세마다 일정 거리를 계산하고 자세의 정확도를 판단한다. 그리고 키넥트의 RGB 카메라를 통해 사용자가 본인의 자세를 확인할 수 있도록 구현한다. 즉, 사용자의 자세가 정확하면 스켈레톤 정보를 초록색 선으로 표시하고, 정확하지 않으면 정확하지 않은 부분을 빨간색 선으로 표시하여 직관적으로 알려준다. 사용자는 이 애플리케이션을 통하여 운동하는 자세의 정확도를 피드백 받기 때문에 혼자서도 정확한 자세로 운동할 수 있다. 이 애플리케이션은 운동 부위를 목, 허리, 다리 세 가지 영역으로 분류하고, 각 운동 부위의 자세에서 관절이 겹쳐서 키넥트가 인식하지 못하는 자세를 제외함으로써 키넥트의 인식률을 높인다. 그리고 애플리케이션 종료 시에는 마지막 운동 모습을 이미지로 5초간 보여줌으로써 성취감을 고취시키고 지속적으로 운동할 수 있도록 구현한다.

Objectives : Tai Chi for arthritis was developed in 1997 by Paul Lam, M.D. of family medicine in Australia. It is an exercise treatment program and a good approaching method for arthritis. However its application is limited to arthritis of knee joint only. Even there have been no clinical study in korean traditional medical society. The aim of this study is to investigate effect of the Tai Chi for arthritis on chronic pain of body. Methods : We designed this trial as objectives were (1) senior female over 60 years, (2) suffering for osteoarthritis and chronic body pain, (3) have no physical or mental dysfunctions (4) able to walk and exercise alone. Objectives mactched these criteria had been trained the Tai Chi for arthritis 2 hours a day for 21 weeks. Before and after training, pain of 8 joints (neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, waist, hip, knee, ankle) were estimated with the VAS(Visual Analog Scale). Results : Training the Tai Chi for arthritis relieved multiple joint pain(especially neck, lower back, shoulder, wrist and knee) and these were statistically significant. Conclusions : This study is a pilot study to investigate effect of the Tai Chi for arthritis on chronic pain of whole body. Absence of control group, and other scale to test joint function except VAS were limitations of this study. It is the first clinical approach about Tai Chi in korean medicine field, also the first study of Tai Chi for pain of the whole body.

Arthritis may be broadly classified as degenerative - related to defects in cartilage and other joint constituents, often age-associated - or inflammatory disease. Inflammatory arthritis called as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory arthropathy and characterized by a destructive arthritis. RA encompasses infectious arthritis, arthritis caused by intra-articular deposits of crystalline material (gout), syndromes associated with genetic defects (familial Mediterranean fever), and the immune-mediated inflammatory arthropathy. Degenerative arthritis called as osteoarthritis (OA), which is most frequently occurring, causes degenerative figures of knee, waist and knuckle, and accompanies severe pain around the cartilage. Also, it may cause morning stiffness, gelling effect, tenderness, bone swelling, crepitus, and motion disorders.

Researches on biped robot walking have been mostly focusing on walking on even surfaces. Therefore, robot walking has been only realized on pre-specified spaces with pre-specified movements according to the previous researches. In this paper a walking system for a biped robot using fuzzy system and neural networks to overcome those constraints. The system enables biped walking to be possible in various environments and with more complicated obstacels. For the purpose, a walking robot should recognize its surrounding environment and determine its movement. In the proposed system, a robot dynamically generates its walking trajectories of each joint by using neural networks when facing new obstacle such as stairs, and it maintains its walking stability by using closed loop fuzzy control system which manipulates the waist joints.
