In this study, the structural analysis was performed by using Solidworks program to investigate the stress and displacement characteristics of upper desk and table arm depending on the types and positions of load applied to the height-adjustable table(Cases 1, 2, 3, 4). The simulation was used to model the table and create the mesh for computational analysis. The height-adjustable table consists of three parts, upper desk, table arm and support body. Case 3 with the side concentrated load showed the maximum stress and maximum displacement at table arm and upper desk. From the stress and displacement characteristics of the upper desk and table arm, the stresses at the bending part of table arm and the deflection at the front part of upper desk were the greatest.

The purpose of this study is to analysis of muscle fatigue in the upper trapezius and splenius capitis muscles according to therapy table height variation. The subjects were consisted of 15 healthy adults(10 males, 5 females) who had no medical history of neurological and musculoskeletal problems. In experiment, wireless electrode EMG system was measured for each the upper trapezius and splenius capitis muscles during the treatment performed on table. the differences in the muscle fatigue was compared for 4 types of table height(-6cm, -3cm, 0, +3cm from elbow in 90° flexion position). Muscle fatigue according to therapy table height were significant difference except for left upper trapezius. And muscle fatigue of right upper trapezius and splenius capitis showed significant decrease in +3cm table height compared to -6cm table height(p<.05). Muscle fatigue of right upper trapezius and splenius capitis were the highest in -6cm table height, but those were the lowest in +3cm table height. This study propose to change therapy table height higher than +3cm from elbow in 90° flexion position, if you hope to reduce muscle fatigue.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between the stature and the muscle performance ratings and the subjective discomfort rations at performing lower arm's pronation and supination according to change sin the height of working table for more efficient performance at designing a working table and performing a work. For the purpose, this study conducted an experiment targeting 40 people in their 20s, who were classified into 4 groups each group composing 10 people at intervals of 5cm from the standard stature of 166.5cm. The experiment measured the maximum isometric pronation and the supination muscular power, and at measuring the factors, the heights of working tables were set as 800mm, 850mm, and 900mm. From the measurement results, it was found that the stature and the maximum muscular power was correlated. That is, as the experiment groups's average stature is higher, the maximum muscular power was higher. For the correlation between the motion patterns(pronation and supination) and the maximum muscular power, it was seen that the maximum muscular power was higher at performing the pronation than the supination. In the correlation between motion patterns and the subjective discomfort ratings, it was seen that the subjective discomfort rating was higher at performing the supination than the pronation. For the correlation between height adjustment and the subjective discomfort ratings, as the height of working table was lower, the subject discomfort rating was lower. Therefore there was no difference in the maximum muscular power according to the height changes of working table, but it was found that as the working table was higher, the user felt more comfortable.

컴퓨터단층촬영 (CT:Computed Tomography)은 환자의 정확한 진단을 위해 진단참고준위인 전산화 단층촬 영 선량지표 (CTDI: Computed Tomography Dose Index)와 (DLP:Dose Length Product)의 정보를 제공한다. 그 러나 CT 장비가 제공하는 진단참고준위는 테이블 높이에 따른 선량의 변화를 제공하지 않는다. 이번 연구 는 컴퓨터단층촬영 검사 시 최적화된 이미지와 최소선량을 찾기 위하여 컴퓨터단층촬영 테이블 높이 변화 에 따른 이미지와 선량을 팬텀(PMMA: Polymethyl Methacrylate)을 사용하여 비교 평가하였다. 성인의 복부 와 같은 두께인 32 cm PMMA 팬텀을 촬영할 경우 테이블 높이에 따른 선량 변화는 거의 없었다. 그러나 이미지의 노이즈(Noise) 평가에서는 테이블 높이에 따라 노이즈 변동 폭이 크게 발생되었다. 그리고 16 cm PMMA 팬텀인 경우는 노이즈의 변화는 작지만 선량변화는 약 30 % 발생하였다. 결론적으로 컴퓨터단층촬 영 (CT:Computed Tomography)의 검사 시에는 환자의 두께에 중심에 정확하게 일치시켜야 한다. 또한 최적 화된 이미지와 최소선량으로 검사하기 위해서는 테이블 높이 설정이 중요할 것으로 사료된다.
