Background: Landing from a step or stairs is a basic motor skill but high incidence of lateral ankle sprain has been reported during landing with inverted foot. Objects: This study aimed to investigate the effect of landing height and visual feedback on the kinematics of landing and supporting lower limbs before and after the touch down and the ground reaction force(GRF)s. Methods: Eighteen healthy females were voluntarily participated in landing from the lower (20 cm) and the higher (40 cm) steps with and without visual feedback. To minimize the time to plan the movement, the landing side was randomly announced as a starting signal. Effects of the step height, the visual feedback, or the interaction on the landing duration, the kinematic variables and the GRFs at each landing event point were analyzed. Results: With eyes blindfolded, the knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion on landing side significantly decreased before and after the touch down. However, there was no significant effect of landing height on the anticipatory kinematics on the landing side. After the touch down, the landings from the higher step increased the knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion on both landing and supporting sides. From the higher steps, the vertical GRF, anterior GRF, and lateral GRF increased. No interaction between step height and visual feedback was significant. Conclusion: Step height and visual feedback affected the landing limb kinematics independently. Visual feedback affected on the landing side while step height altered the supporting side prior to the touch down. After the touch down, the step height had greater influence on the lower limb kinematics and the GRFs than the visual feedback. Findings of this study can contribute to understanding of the injury mechanisms and preventing the lateral ankle sprain.

ROK Navy Landing Ship Fast(LSF-II) is equipped with special equipment that is not compatible with other combat ships due to special missions. So there are almost no maintenance capabilities except for simple repair parts replacement and maintenance parts. The researcher determined that the way to solve these problems was to apply Performance Based Logistics (PBL), and reviewed the cases of PBL applications abroad and domestically. To confirm the current maintenance capability, we visited LSF-II operation unit to identify maintenance capabilities for each mounted equipment, and interviews with operators and maintenance practitioners confirmed the limitations of outsourcing maintenance and the need to apply PBL. In order to analyze the effect of PBL application, the measure of effectiveness and measure of performance were selected based on the opinions of LSF-II operation/maintenance practitioners and PBL experts and the practical experience of this researcher. A survey was conducted on operation/maintenance practitioners and professional personnel. Based on the survey results, the effect of applying PBL was analyzed using the AHP technique, and an efficient PBL application plan was proposed for LSF-II.

This study focuses on the development of a Last-Mile delivery service using unmanned vehicles to deliver goods directly to the end consumer utilizing drones to perform autonomous delivery missions and an image-based precision landing algorithm for handoff to a robot in an intermediate facility. As the logistics market continues to grow rapidly, parcel volumes increase exponentially each year. However, due to low delivery fees, the workload of delivery personnel is increasing, resulting in a decrease in the quality of delivery services. To address this issue, the research team conducted a study on a Last-Mile delivery service using unmanned vehicles and conducted research on the necessary technologies for drone-based goods transportation in this paper. The flight scenario begins with the drone carrying the goods from a pickup location to the rooftop of a building where the final delivery destination is located. There is a handoff facility on the rooftop of the building, and a marker on the roof must be accurately landed upon. The mission is complete once the goods are delivered and the drone returns to its original location. The research team developed a mission planning algorithm to perform the above scenario automatically and constructed an algorithm to recognize the marker through a camera sensor and achieve a precision landing. The performance of the developed system has been verified through multiple trial operations within ETRI.

Background: Chronic ankle instability is a common injury that decreases balance and negatively affects functional movements, such as jumping and landing. Objectives: To analyze the effect of taping types and jump heights on balance with eyes open and closed during jump landings in chronic ankle instability. Design: Within-subject design. Methods: The study involved 22 patients with chronic ankle instability. They performed both double-leg and single-leg drop jump landings using three conditions (elastic taping, non-elastic taping, and barefoot) on three different jump platforms (30, 38, and 46 cm). Balance was measured using the Romberg's test with eyes open and closed. Results: Interaction effect was not statistically significant. Balance with eyes open and closed was significantly improved in both the elastic taping and non-elastic taping conditions compared to the barefoot condition. There was no significant difference according to the jump height. Conclusion: Individuals with chronic ankle instability demonstrated increased balance ability with eyes open and closed when jump landing. Elastic taping and non-elastic taping on the ankle joint can positively affect balance during landing in individuals with chronic ankle instability.

The purpose of this study was to assess knee joint loading in the target knee during a golf swing compared to loading rates of high impact activities such as cutting and drop landings. Nine healthy competitive golfers completed golf swings with the target foot both straight and externally rotated 30 degrees, as well as drop landings and cutting maneuvers. Motion capture data was collected at 240 Hz and ground reaction force data was collected at 2400 Hz. The frontal and transverse knee moments were examined using repeated measures ANOVA through SPSS. The abduction moments were higher in golf swings as compared to the other high impact activities (p=.010), while the external rotation moments were lower (p=.003). There were no significant differences between externally rotated and neutral golf swings. These results suggest moments applied to the knee during a golf swing are similar to those applied during a high impact activity.

본 연구는 양발 착지 시 성별에 따른 상해 경험이 무릎과 엉덩관절의 움직임 및 수직 지면반력에 미치는 영향을 분석하는데 목적이 있었다. 20대 남성 20명(상해 경험 8명, 비상해 경험 12명), 여성 20명(상해 경험 11명, 비상해 경험 9명)을 연구대상자로 선정하였다. 높이 45cm 박스에서 양발 착지를 통해 얻어진 운동역학적 변인을 Two-way mixed ANOVA를 실시하였으며, bonferroni adjustment를 이용하여 사후검증 하였다(p<.05). 본 연구결과 상해를 경험한 여성 그룹은 무릎 관절의 외반 및 내측회전 그리고 엉덩관절의 굴곡 및 외측회전 운동을 증가시켜 최대 수직 지면반발력의 감소를 유도할 수 있었던 것으로 판단된다. 상해를 경험하지 않은 여성 그룹의 경우 최대 무릎 굴곡각도가 가장 작게 나타났을 뿐만 아니라 엉덩관절의 굴곡과 외측회전 각도에서 가장 적은 수치를 나타내었고 최대 수직 지면반발력은 가장 높게 나타났다. 반면, 상해를 경험하지 않은 여성 INE 그룹의 경우 IE 그룹에 비해 상대적으로 무릎과 엉덩관절을 활용하지 못함으로서 높은 수직 지면반발력을 나타내었고, 이는 상대적으로 상해 위험성에 많이 노출되어 있음을 의미한다. 따라서 성별에 따른 상해 경험이 무릎과 엉덩관절의 운동과 최대 수직 지면반발력의 크기에 요인들에 영향을 주는 요인들임을 알 수 있었다.

Aircraft landing is a complex and challenging flight phase in which pilots are required to allocate attention efficiently to the surrounding environment. A comprehensive understanding of pilot situation awareness (SA) is needed for successful landing. This study was to predict pilot SA during landing using eye tracking data. The experiments were carried out with 5 repetitive simulated landings for four expert and four novice pilots using eye tracking equipment. Three eye tracking features (visit frequency, dwell time ratio, scan path entropy) were developed for reflecting three level of SA model (perception, comprehension, projection). Prediction of SA was performed by developing multiple regression model. Visit frequency of expert pilots was 138%, 47%, 85%, 67%, 117%, and 91% higher than novice pilots in RPM, VVI, altimeter, heading, airspeed, and attitude areas of interest (AOIs) respectively; while 50% and 33% lower in runway and outside AOIs respectively. Dwell time ratio of expert pilots was 38% and 42% higher than novice pilots in runway and outside AOIs respectively; while 62%, 62%, and 65% lower in altimeter, airspeed, and attitude AOIs respectively. Scan path entropy of expert pilots was 33% higher than novice pilots in outside AOI; while 29% lower in attitude AOI. Coefficient of determination for the prediction model for SA was 80.6%. The results of this study can be used as objective data of strategy establishment or training feedback for novice pilots.

With comparison of maximum vertical reaction force and lower limb on drop landing between normal and flat foot group, this study is to provide fundamental data of the prevention of injury and the treatment of exercise which are frequently occurred on flat foot group's drop landing. The surface electrodes were sticked on lateral gastrocnemius muscle, medial gastrocnemius muscle, tibialis anterior and the drop landing on a force plate of 40cm was performed with a normal group who had no musculoskeletal disease and a flat foot group of 9 people who had feet examinations. Vertical reaction force were significantly statistically different between two groups(p<.001). Muscle activity of lower limbs in all three parts were not statistically different but showed high tendency on average in the flat foot group. The flat foot group had difficulties in diversification of impact burden and high muscle activity. Therefore, it was suggested that muscular strengthening of knee joints and plantar flexions of foot joints which were highly affected in impact absorption will be required.

대형 비행기 조종사들은 지상으로부터 높은 조종실의 위치, 빠른 접근속도와 수직강하속도로 인하여 불충분한 시각정보를 바탕으로 착륙 조작을 하여야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 대형 비행기의 특징으로 인하여 비행기 착륙의 최종 조작인 당김(flare) 조작을 할 때 대형 비행기 조종사들이 정확한 높이지각을 하기 어렵다는 사실을 검증하였다. 연구 1에서는 조종석 외부로 보이는 공항에 대한 사진을 제시하고 높이 추정을 하도록 하여 정적 시각 단서만으로 정확한 높이지각이 가능한지를 살펴보았다. 85feet의 고도에서는 정확한 높이지각을 하나 당김 조작을 준비해야 하는 높이인 55feet부터 낮은 고도에서는 정확한 높이를 추정하지 못하였다. 연구 2에서는 착륙의 전 과정을 녹화한 화면을 보여주어 높이 추정을 하도록 하여 동적 시각 단서와 정적 시각 단서를 모두 제공하여 주었다. 시각단서가 연구 1보다 풍부하였으므로 50feet까지 정확한 높이지각을 하였으나 연구 1의 결과와 마찬가지로 당김 조작을 시작하는 높이인 30feet 이하의 저고도에서의 높이지각이 모두 부정확하였다. 시각 단서의 해석에 경험이 중요한 요인이므로 경험이 많은 기장과 경험이 적은 부기장 간의 높이 추정에 차이가 있는지를 연구 1과 연구 2에서 모두 비교하여 보았으나 차이는 유의하지 않았다.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether gender differences existed in knee valgus kinematics in college students when performing a vertical drop landing. The hypothesis of this study was that females would demonstrate greater knee valgus motion. These differences in knee valgus motion may be indicative of decreased dynamic knee joint control in females. This study compared the initial knee valgus angle and maximum knee valgus angle at the instant of impact on vertical drop landings between healthy men and women. In this study, 60 participants (30 males, 30 females) dropped from a height of 43 cm. A digital camera and two-dimensional video motion analysis software were used to analyze the kinematic data. There was significant difference in the mean knee valgus angle at initial contact landing between the two groups (Mean=, SD= in males, Mean=, SD= in females). The range of knee valgus angle on landing (Mean=, SD= in males, Mean=, SD= in females) was differed significantly (p<.05). The maximal angle of knee valgus on landing (Mean=, SD= in males, Mean=, SD= in females) was also differed significantly (p<.05). The females landed with a larger range of knee valgus motion than the males and this might have increased the likelihood of a knee injury. The absence of dynamic knee joint stability may be responsible for increased rates of knee injury in females. No method for accurate and practical screening and identification of athletes at increased risk of ACL injury is currently available to target those individuals that would benefit from neuromuscular training before sports participation.

The kinematics involved in different landing strategies may be related to the occurrence of trauma. Several sources suggest that the angle of knee extension on touchdown and impact with the ground determines the magnitude of the impact force and, indirectly, knee loading. This study compared the initial knee angle and maximum knee flexion angle at the instant of impact on drop-landings between healthy men and women. In this study, 60 participants (30 males, 30 females) dropped from a height of 43 cm. A digital camera and video motion analysis software were used to analyze the kinematic data. When landing, there was significant difference between the two groups ( in male, in female) in the mean knee flexion angle. The range of knee flexion on landing ( in male, in female) also differed significantly (p<.05). The greater knee flexion that was observed in the male subjects would be expected to decrease their risk of injury. Women land with smaller range of knee flexion than men and this might increase the likelihood of a knee injury.
