The purpose of the study was to measure anthropometry, range of motion, and muscle strength of Koreans with paraplegia, using wheelchairs. The total number of people with disabilities in Korea was 2,618,918, of which 1,223,135 (46.7%) people were with physical disabilities in 2019. For the research, people with paraplegia living in Chungcheongnam-do, Korea were recommended through the disability-related organizations. Totally 77 Koreans with paraplegia participated, out of which 57 participants were men and 20 participants were women in the age group of 30–69 years. There were 82 measurement items categorized into 39 static measurement items, 31 range of motion items, and 12 muscle strength of hand/finger items. The results were presented and analyzed with values in the 5, 25, 50, 75, and 95 percentiles by each item and gender. In the category of basic anthropometric measurements, the horizontal size items of the participants with paraplegia were reported to be larger than those of people without disabilities due to the development of the upper body resulting from wheelchair propulsion movements with some exceptions related to their overall body physiques. In sitting posture, there would be various factors affecting the anterior and lateral maximum/minimum reach measurements such as differences in neurological symptoms according to the spinal cord injury level and daily movement level. The data showed a meaningful difference between men and women in height and flexibility in sitting posture. An independent sample t-test was also performed between male and female groups. There were differences in the anthropometric values, range of motion, pinch force, and grip force between men and women with paraplegia. The measurement results of anthropometry of hand/foot and muscle strength of hands and fingers of Koreans with paraplegia would be used for designing products for their hands and feet such as hair dryers and tumblers. The results of range of motion measurements would be used as important data for the design and development of wheelchairs for people with spinal cord injury. The measurement results of Koreans with paraplegia would be used as basic data for designing and developing assistive technology and universal products for wheelchair users who work and perform daily activities. The anthropometric measurements of individuals with other subclassifications of disabilities will be necessary in the future study for more detailed implication and application in this field.

对截瘫韩国人的人体测量学、运动范围和肌肉力量测量的研究

该研究的目的是测量使用轮椅的截瘫韩国人的人体测量学、运动范围和肌肉力量。2019 年韩国的残疾人总数为 2,618,918 人，其中身体残疾者为 1,223,135 人（46.7%）。本研究通过残疾相关组织推荐了居住在韩国忠清南道的截瘫患者。共有77名截瘫的韩国人参加，其中男性57人，女性20人，年龄在30-69岁之间。测量项目共82个，分为39个静态测量项目、31个运动范围项目和12个手/手指肌力项目。以每个项目和性别的 5、25、50、75 和 95 个百分位数的值呈现和分析结果。在基本人体测量类别中，据报道，由于轮椅推进运动导致上身发育，截瘫参与者的水平尺寸项目大于非残疾人，但与他们的整体体质有关. 在坐姿中，有多种因素会影响前侧和侧方最大/最小范围测量，例如根据脊髓损伤水平和日常运动水平的神经症状差异。数据显示，男性和女性在身高和坐姿灵活性方面存在显着差异。独立样本 据报道，由于轮椅推进运动导致上身发育，截瘫参与者的水平尺寸项目大于非残疾人，但与他们的整体体质有关。在坐姿中，会存在影响前侧和侧向最大/最小范围测量的各种因素，例如根据脊髓损伤水平和日常运动水平的神经症状差异。数据显示，男性和女性在身高和坐姿灵活性方面存在显着差异。独立样本 据报道，由于轮椅推进运动导致上身发育，截瘫参与者的水平尺寸项目大于非残疾人，但与他们的整体体质有关。在坐姿中，有多种因素会影响前侧和侧方最大/最小范围测量，例如根据脊髓损伤水平和日常运动水平的神经症状差异。数据显示，男性和女性在身高和坐姿灵活性方面存在显着差异。独立样本 有多种因素会影响前侧和侧向最大/最小范围测量，例如根据脊髓损伤水平和日常运动水平的神经症状差异。数据显示，男性和女性在身高和坐姿灵活性方面存在显着差异。独立样本 有多种因素会影响前侧和侧向最大/最小范围测量，例如根据脊髓损伤水平和日常运动水平的神经症状差异。数据显示，男性和女性在身高和坐姿灵活性方面存在显着差异。独立样本吨-测试也在男性和女性组之间进行。截瘫男性和女性在人体测量值、活动范围、捏力和握力方面存在差异。韩国截瘫患者手足体格测量和手和手指肌肉力量的测量结果将用于设计吹风机和水杯等手脚产品。运动范围测量的结果将用作设计和开发用于脊髓损伤患者的轮椅的重要数据。韩国截瘫患者的测量结果将作为基础数据，用于为工作和进行日常活动的轮椅使用者设计和开发辅助技术和通用产品。
