Abstract

The acupressure is a treatment that applies pressure to certain parts of the body and has been mainly used for pain relief in the field of oriental medicine. However, the treatment effect is often different depending on the practitioner's ability, experience, and physical strength, so standardized acupressure is needed. In this regard, the equipment is being released, but this is mainly a rolling massage method, which reduces energy concentration and poses a risk of injury. Therefore, in this study, a device that provides vertical acupressure based on variable bogie (wheel truck) was implemented. As a result of experimenting with load and body pressure distribution and desirability to validate the device's bearing pressure, the acupressure rod held up to 150kg, the body pressure ratio was measured lower than the body pressure ratio of the comparison item in section 0%

지압은 신체의 특정 부위에 압력을 가하는 치료행위로 주로 한의학 분야에서 통증 경감에 활용되어 왔다. 하지만 시술자의 역량, 경험, 체력에 따라 치료 효과가 달라지는 경우가 많아 표준화된 지압이 필요하며 관련하여 기구가 출시되고 있으나 주로 롤링 마사지 방식이어서 에너지 집중도가 떨어지며 부상의 위험성이 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 변동형 대차를 기반으로 수직 지압을 제공하는 장치를 구현하였다. 장치의 지압력 유효성 확인을 위해 하중 실험 및 체압 분포, 만족도를 실험한 결과 지압봉은 150kg까지 버티며, 체압비는 0 % < x ≤ 5% 구간에서 비교품의 체압 비율에 비해 낮게 측정되었으며, 또한 주관적 만족도는 평균 2.11점의 높은 점수를 받았다. 따라서 수직 지압이 적용된 장치가 기존 제품과 비교하면 체압 분산에 효과가 있었으며 만족도가 높다고 볼 수 있었다. 향후 연구에서는 수직 지압 사용 그룹과 전문 치료사의 지압 그룹을 구성하여 개발 기기가 사람에 비해 균일한 지압을 제공하는지 비교 평가할 필요가 있다.
