Abstract

This study attempted to examine the impact of musculoskeletal pain on pedestrian crossing using a sample that consisted of 282 aged people. The research method involved an examination of the musculoskeletal pain of the elderly using a musculoskeletal questionnaire. The subjects were also told to walk across four- and six-lane pedestrian crossings while their gait velocity, step count, and step time were measured. The research results for pain by body regions indicated that waist pain had the highest complaint rate(33.3%). When there was musculoskeletal pain in the waist and leg/foot, gait velocity also decreased and step count and step time increased. However, usage of a cane turned out to have a positive impact on pedestrian crossing. Nevertheless, no significant relationship between waist and leg/foot pain and pedestrian crossing characteristics was found. We expect there will be continuous further studies on the subject of diverse physical problems of the aged and pedestrian crossing.

본 연구는 282명의 노인을 대상으로 근육뼈대계 통증이 횡단보도 보행에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실시되었다. 연구방법은 근골격계 증상 조사표를 이용하여 노인의 근육뼈대계 통증을 조사한 후 4, 6차선 횡단보도를 보행하도록 하여 보행속도, 보행시간, 걸음수를 측정하였다. 연구결과 신체부위별 근육뼈대계 통증은 허리통증의 호소율이 가장 높았고(33.3%), 허리와 다리/발에 근육뼈대계 통증이 있을 경우 보행속도는 감소하고 걸음수와 보행시간이 증가하는 특징을 보였지만, 지팡이 사용이 횡단보도 보행에 도움을 줄 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 허리와 다리/발의 통증정도는 횡단보도 보행특성 사이에 통계적으로 유의한 연관성을 확인할 수 없었다. 이후 지속적인 연구를 통해 노인의 다양한 신체적 문제들과 횡단보도 보행에 관한 연구들이 이루어지길 바란다.
