Insights

Pediatric trampoline injuries in Korea are rising, especially in children under six. Key recommendations include prohibiting use for this age group and ensuring supervision to prevent fractures and other severe injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Emergency Medicine
  • Injury Prevention
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Published policy statements highlight risks of trampoline use.
  • Limited research exists on trampoline-related injuries in Korea.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the incidence and characteristics of pediatric trampoline-related injuries at Ulsan University Hospital.
  • To analyze injury trends over a 10-year period.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of medical records.
  • Inclusion criteria: children aged <16 years with trampoline-related injuries.
  • Study period: 2008–2017.

Main Results:

  • 178 trampoline-related injuries reported, showing a significant increase.
  • Injuries predominantly occurred in the last 5 years, with a rapid rise in children <6 years.
  • Lower extremity injuries (62.4%) were most common, including fractures (37.6%), particularly proximal tibia fractures in younger children.

Conclusions:

  • Trampoline injuries in Korea share mechanisms with indoor parks but involve smaller spaces and multiple users.
  • Rapid increase in trampoline use and injuries among children <6 years necessitates intervention.
  • Recommendations include prohibiting use for <6 years, limiting simultaneous use, ensuring supervision, and developing public awareness and policy guidelines.

Lattice Centering and Coordination Number

The structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell. The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions. The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions. The three different types of unit cells present in the cubic lattice are illustrated in Figure 1.

Center of Gravity

The center of gravity (COG) of an object is the point where the object's total weight is considered to be concentrated. Knowing the location of the center of gravity is useful when predicting the behavior of a moving object or designing static structures. In a uniform gravitational field, the center of gravity is similar to the center of mass (COM); yet, these two points can be positioned differently. For example, the Moon's center of mass lies very close to its geometric center, but...

Center of Gravity

The center of gravity is the point at which an object's weight appears to be concentrated and can be used to balance the object perfectly. This point is essential in mechanics as it provides information regarding a body's stability and moments of inertia. The center of gravity does not always have to fall within the shape or boundaries of the body; it may also lie outside the body in certain cases.
To determine its location, the principle of moments can be utilized by dividing the object into...

Center of Mass00:59

Center of Mass

The center of mass is the point at which the total mass of an object can be said to be concentrated. It is a fundamental principle in mechanics and physics that applies to all objects regardless of their shape or size. The center of gravity is the point at which an object’s weight appears to be concentrated and can be used to balance the object perfectly.
The knowledge of the center of mass can also help us to describe and predict the motion of objects. For example, when a ball is thrown...

Instantaneous Center of Zero Velocity

General plane motion, often observed in a rolling wheel, refers to a type of movement where the wheel is simultaneously rotating and translating. This complex motion can be understood by breaking it down into individual components.
To analyze this, consider two points on the wheel: point A and point B. The absolute velocity of point B can be expressed as the vector sum of the absolute velocity of point A and the relative velocity of point B with respect to point A. To simplify this analysis,...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
