Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of wearable sensor wear on the muscle contraction of cervical erector spinae and upper trapezius causing the forward head posture induction in order to reduce the stress induced by the use of smartphone. This study was to investigate the muscle activity of healthy adults in the 20th to 30th generations by dividing them into the control group using the smartphone, the non-wearing group conscious the posture of the head posture, and the wearing group wearing the wearable sensor. There were no differences in muscle activity between cervical erector spinae and upper trapezius compared to the control, non - wearing, and wearing groups. In addition, the changes in muscle activity of cervical erector spinae muscles were increased in all groups, but the muscle activity of upper trapezius muscles were in the wear group compared to the non-wear group and the control group, but there was no statistical significance. That is, wear of the wearable sensor may be effective in controlling the conscious posture, but it may cause the compensation of another part.

본 연구는 스마트폰 사용으로 인해 발생하는 전방머리자세의 유발 스트레스를 줄이기 위한 웨어러블 센서 착용이 전방머리자세 유발을 일으키는 목세움근과 위등세모근의 근피로에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구는 20~30대 건강한 성인을 대상으로 하여 일반적으로 스마트폰을 사용하는 대조군, 전방머리자세에 대한 자세를 의식하며 사용하는 비착용군 그리고 웨어러블 센서를 착용하는 실험군으로 나누어 근활성도를 살펴보았다. 목세움근과 윗등세모근의 근활성도는 대조군, 비착용군, 실험군과 비교하여 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 목세움근의 근활성도의 변화는 모든 군에서 증가하였고, 윗등세모근의 경우 비착용군과 대조군에 비해 착용군의 근활성도가 증가하였으나 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 즉 웨어러블 센서의 착용은 의식적인 자세 조절에 있어서 효과적일 수 있지만 다른 부위의 근긴장을 유발 할 수도 있다.
