The purpose of this study suggests a personalized algorithm of physical activity energy expenditure prediction through comparison and analysis of individual physical activity. The research for a 3-axial accelerometer sensor has increased the role of physical activity in promoting health and preventing chronic disease has long been established. Estimating algorithm of physical activity energy expenditure was implemented by using a tri-axial accelerometer motion detector of the SVM(Signal Vector Magnitude) of 3-axis(x, y, z). A total of 10 participants(5 males and 5 females aged between 20 and 30 years). The activities protocol consisted of three types on treadmill; participants performed three treadmill activity at three speeds(3, 5, 8 km/h). These activities were repeated four weeks.

The walker provides stability for walking for people whose lower extremities are disabled. It is important to measure and determine the appropriate height of a walker to conserve energy and to improve function. The purposes of this study were to examine effects of walker height and gait velocity on triceps, latissimus dorsi muscle activation, and energy expenditure index (EEI) during ambulation with a walker. Fifteen healthy subjects participated in this study. Each subject was assigned a walker with one of three heights (high, standard, lower height) and of two gait velocities (comfortable gait velocity or fast gait velocity). Electromyographic data were collected from triceps and latissimus dorsi, and EEI was determined from each condition. Two-way repeated analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the statistical significance. Post hoc comparison was performed with the Bonferroni test. The results of this study were summarized as follows: 1. There was a significant difference in the %MVIC of triceps among different walker height factors. Post hoc comparison revealed that %MVIC of dominant triceps brachii was more significantly increased in patients who used the higher walker than those who used the lower walker (p<.05). 2. There were significant differences in the %MVIC of the latissimus dorsi among different walker height factors and gait velocity factors. Post hoc comparison revealed that the %MVIC of dominant latissimus dorsi was also more significantly increased in patients who used the higher walker than those who used the lower walker (p<.05) and in those who used the faster gait velocity than those who used the slower gait velocity (p<.05). 3. There were significant differences in the EEI among different walker height factors and gait velocity factors. Post hoc comparison revealed that the EEI was significantly increased among those who used higher and lower walkers compared with the standard walker. The EEI was also more significantly increased among those who used the fast gait velocity than those who used the slower gait velocity (p<.05). It has been concluded that increased muscle activation in triceps and latissimus dorsi was required when the walker height increased and that more energy was exp ended when the gait velocity increased. Therefore, from the findings of this study, it is recommended that walker height be adjusted according to the purposes of gait training and that healthy subjects conserve energy when ambulating with standard walkers in a comfortable gait velocity.

본 연구의 주목적은 조양하 유역의 유출응집구조와 에너지소비 양상을 멱함수 법칙분포의틀 내에서 해석하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 GIS를 기반 으로 대상유역 내 지점별 배수면적과 함께 소류력 및 수류력을 정의하는 지형학적 인자를 추출하고 해당 인자들의 여누가 분포에 대한 도해적 해석과 함께 멱함수 법칙분포의 적합을 수행하였다. 주요한 결과로서 세 가지 지형학적 인자들의 여누가 분포는 세 개의 개별적인 거동특성 구간으로 구분할 수 있었다. 멱함수 법칙분포 확률밀도함수의 매개변수를 최우도법을 이용하여 추정해 본 결과 배수면적과 수류력은 대표적인 규모를 유한 하게 결정할 수 없는 규모 불변성 지형인자이지만 소류력은 유한한 규모를 갖는 규모 종속성 지형학적 인자로 판단할 수 있었다. 또한 소류력의 경우 제한된 범위 내에서만 복잡계 거동을 보여 멱함수 법칙분포를 따르지 않는 것으로 판단되었다. 최우도법을 적용하여 추정한 배수면적의 멱함수 법칙분포 지수는 선행연구에 비하여 큰 수치로서 해당 지수의 추정에 사용된 방법론의 차이에 기인하는 것임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 수류력의 멱함수 법칙분포 지수는 선행연구에 비하여 다소 작은 수치로서 대상유역의 규모에 따른 수로경사의 특성에 기인하는 것으로 판단되었다.
