Abstract

Electromygram was measured in three different cases; not wearing of a helmet, wearing of a 920g helmet, and wearing of a 1310g helmet, and it was revealed that there was a high level of muscle activities on the opposite side (sternocleidomastoid muscle) while the head and the neck were moving right and left and muscle activities of the curve and of the hyperextension were found to be not significant. Especially, the presence of a helmet seemed to cause a difference in a level of muscle activities on the deltoid and erector spine muscles while lifting or lowering with a weight placed on the deniz backboard. Therefore, it would be possible to assume that this newly developed smart helmet would not affect muscles around the necks of paramedics if they do not move their necks and heads right and left while lowering or lifting a patient using the deniz backboard. In addition, in case of the deltoid and erector spine muscles, it is shown that an increase in the degree of movement could lead to an increase in the level of muscle activities on the muscles controlling of the corresponding action, which are waist and back muscles. Despite it, it would be possible to prevent possible injuries and/or muscular and skeletal diseases around the lumbar by fully complying with a basic rule of straightening of the waist while making a power-lifting motion.

본 연구는 구급대원 12명이 참여하여 나누어 근전도를 측정하였다. 헬멧을 착용하지 않는 경우, 920g 헬멧을 착용한 경우, 1310g 헬멧을 착용한 경우로 나누어 근전도를 측정하였다. 머리와 목의 좌우 움직임에서는 반대쪽(흉쇄 유돌근)는 근 활성도가 높았고, 굴곡과 과신전(흉쇄유돌근, 판상근)시 근 활성도는 유의성이 없었다. 특히 긴척추고정판에 무게를 싣고 들어올리거나 내릴때의 세모근과 척추 기립근은 헬멧 유무에 따라 근전도 활성에 다소 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 구급대원들이 긴척추고정판을 이용하여 환자를 들어올리거나 내릴때는 머리와 목의 각도를 좌우로만 움직이지 않는다면 새로 개발한 스마트 헬멧은 대원들의 목 주위의 근육에 영향을 주지 않는다고 사료 된다. 척추기립근이나 세모긍의 경우는 각도가 커짐에 따라 허리와 등근육은 동작을 좌우하는 근육에서 근전도 활성이 높게 나타났다고 사료된다. 그렇지만 기존의 파워리프팅(들어올리는 동작)동작에서 허리를 가능한 꼿꼿히 세우는 규칙을 지킨다면 요추 주위의 근육 및 골격계 질병에 대한 대처를 할 수 있다고 생각된다.
