Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify effects of walking speed and a cognitive task during treadmill walking on gait variability. Experiments consisted of 5 different walking speeds(80%, 90%, 100%, 110% and 120% of preferred walking speed) with/without a cognitive task. 3D motion analysis system was used to measure subject's kinematic data. Temporal/spatial variables were selected for this study; stride time, stance time, swing time, step time, double support time, stride length, step length and step width. Two parameters were used to compare stride-to-stride variability with/without cognitive task. One is the coefficient of variance which is used to describe the amount of variability. The other is the detrended fluctuation analysis which is used to infer self-similarity from fluctuation of aspects. Results showed that cognitive task may influence stride-to-stride variability during treadmill walking. Further study is necessary to clarify this result.

본 연구의 목적은 트레드밀 보행 시, gait dynamics 측면에서 보행의 속도 변화와 인지과제 수행 시 보행 변인의 가변성(variability)을 알아보고자 하는 것이다. 실험은 인지과제의 동시수행 유/무에 따른 5가지 속도(선호속도의 80%, 90%, 100%, 110% and 120%)에 의한 보행 실험으로 구성되었다. 인지과제의 종류는 학습기능이 없는 인지과제(2-back task)를 수행하였다. 인지과제는 피험자의 트레드밀 보행 시, 3m 앞에 놓여진 스크린에 주어지고 무선마우스를 통해 응답하는 형태로 구성되었다. 실험의 모든 과정은 3차원 동작분석기를 통해 동작데이터를 획득하였다. 이를 통해, 5가지 보행 시간 변인과 3가지 공간 변인을 추출하였다. gait dynamics 측면의 분석을 위해, 가변성의 크기를 살펴볼 수 있는 방법인 분산계수(coefficient of variance)와 변동량의 구조적 자기 유사성을 추론할 수 있는 detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA)를 사용하였다. 그 결과 보행 속도 변화에 따라 보행 변인의 평균값과 분산계수에서 통계적 유의한 차이가 발생하였고, 인지과제의 수행 유/무에 따라서는 DFA에서 통계적인 차이가 발생하였다. 이는 인지과제의 수행에 의해 보행의 발생과 조절 능력에 영향을 끼쳤다고 추론할 수 있다. 본 연구 결과를 명백히 하기 위해 더 많은 수의 피험자 실험과 추가 실험이 필요할 것이다.
