목발의 지면 댐퍼 장착이 겨드랑 압박 수준과 에너지 소모량에 미치는 영향 : The Effect of Axillary Pressure and Energy Expenditure Index Rate by Crutch Equipped with Shock Absorber

The Effect of Axillary Pressure and Energy Expenditure Index Rate by Crutch Equipped with Shock Absorber

초록/요약

Purpose : This study was performed to examine whether 1) the shock absorber crutch (SAC) is more effective than the standard crutch (SC) on kinematical physiology 2) there are differences of effects by using the SAC or SC between male and female. Methods : To this aim, energy consumption rate, heart rate and the pressure decline rate during the weight bearing was evaluated. In this study, 40 healthy subjects were participated in the whole processes (male (n=20), female (n=20)). Results : According to results both the pressure decline rat and the energy expenditure index were significantly lower in SAC than SC (p<0.05). And also there were significant difference between male and female groups. In both SAC and SC, the pressure decline rat was higher in female group, however energy expenditure index decline rat was higher in male group. There were statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion : Thus, the present study suggests that SAC is more effective for patient to gait training.
