The criteria for setting the Hz average range and the average response time are set using the analysis of the eight functional areas such as age, height, weight, cognition, sensation, stress, hand function, balance, and activity characteristics.

In the case of the functional characteristics analysis, the weight was automatically measured through the balance evaluation tool TETRAX. Cognition was performed using the Mini-Mental State Examination Korean (MMSE-K), which is a simple discriminant test for cognitive performance, such as history, memory registration, memory recall, attention concentration and calculation, language function, understanding and Evaluate judgment. Through such a test, as shown in Table 2, it is possible to determine the cognitive state by normal / dementia suspicion / dementia determination. ASQ is a discriminant test of sensory processing function in adults that answers 26 questions “yes / no”. The test results are classified as not clear sensory / moderate sensory / sensory defenses, as shown in Table 3.

score result Remarks 30 to 24 points or more normal No cognitive impairment of cognitive function 19-23 points or more Suspected dementia Mild cognitive impairment 18 points or less Definite dementia Clear Cognitive Function

score result 11 points or more Clear sensory defense 6 to 10 points Moderate sensory defense 5 points or less Not sensory defense

Stress is measured using the stress scale of the elderly, which measures the life events experienced in the developmental stages of old age and the minor difficulties that cause stress in daily life. The stress assessment method asks whether or not you have experienced the contents of the questionnaire during the past year through a personal interview, and if so, evaluates the level of stress perception. The level of stress perception refers to the degree of anxiety about the stress experienced by the survey subjects. The response of each question ranges from 1 point of 'experienced but not at all' to 5 points of 'very badly hurt'. Use a 5-point Likert scale with The hand function is measured using a gyrometer, and the hand function measurement method is to hold the gyrometer, attach the arm to the trunk, and then flex the elbow 90 degrees and measure the right hand / left hand three times and average them. Balance is measured using a tool called TETRAX, which measures the subject's physical problems (neural system, musculoskeletal abnormalities, obesity), aging, and postural changes due to mental factors. The balance method measures the shaking of the body when maintaining the upright position, the normal shakes back and forth, but the abnormal shakes left and right (see Table 4). And measure the pressure of the sole for balance check as shown in Table 5.

The activity characteristic analysis uses the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS), which is an evaluation tool of Activities of Daily Living. The AMPS is scored by the evaluator from 1 point to 5 points for 16 items in the exercise area and 20 items in the treatment area while the subject directly performs two daily activities. The evaluation was conducted on a one-to-one basis. The elderly subjects were randomly selected from those registered at the Gimhae Senior Welfare Center or Geriatric University. In addition, evaluating 'cleaning', 'washing dishes', 'boiling ramen' during daily life movements, and shooting with four cameras with the subject's understanding. In addition, the characteristics of activities in the environment were derived from the analysis of the videos taken in evaluating daily life movements, thereby embodying safety and functionality. Therefore, the database is constructed using the function information of the elderly, environmental control information (reaction time), safety information, and functional information.

Table 6 shows the average scores of the exercise skills by age grouped through the analysis of the activity characteristics. At this time, the correlation between age and total score of exercise skills was examined through correlation analysis of SPSS version 11. The correlation between age was low with Pearson correlation coefficient of -0.256 and significance probability of 0.277. The mean difference between age groups was analyzed using ANOVA analysis. The results showed a significant probability of 0.706 and F = 0.472.

Age group Exercise Skills Total Score Average Standard Deviation 60 to 64 years old 55 2.83 65 to 69 years old 53.1 4.38 70 to 74 years old 51 5.51 75 to 79 years old 52 -

The results of the exercise skills logits for each age group are shown in Table 7. If the total score comes out by inputting the subject's score to 16 kinds of exercise skills using AMPS, the logit score of each subject ranges from -3 to 4, and if the score of the logit exceeds 2 points (motor cutoff) It can be concluded that the effort is not increased because there is no difficulty in performing the movement. The average logit for our evaluators was 1.8125 and the standard deviation was 0.4437. The correlation between age and exercise skill logit was analyzed through the correlation analysis of spss version 11. Pearson's correlation coefficient of -0.318 and significance probability of 0.172 showed low correlation with age. The difference in the mean among the age groups was examined using ANOVA analysis. The result was 0.351 and F = 1.173.

Age group Logits average Standard Deviation 60 to 64 years old 2.085 0.5162 65 to 69 years old 1.9150 0.4720 70 to 74 years old 1.5714 0.3637 75 to 79 years old 1.93 -

The average response time of each frequency according to age is calculated based on the functional characteristic analysis and the activity characteristic analysis. For reference, in order to increase the accuracy of the output frequency, it can be calculated using the micro accelerator program. The calculation shows that if the PIC16F877A's external clock is 20 MHz, the load value (PR2) formula is 65535-((desired frequency) / (internal clock cycle * prescaler)) for timer1.

As a calculation method, the sound level meter makes a sound at the first 300Hz to produce a sound of a desired size. At this time, adjust with the volume switch. Then give the subject the stop button and press the button when you hear a sound. The button is divided into a wired button and a wireless button. Any button can be used and the result is the same. And by measuring the time for each age through the analysis of the functional characteristics analysis and the analysis of the activity characteristics, the exercise response time is recorded.

The average response time of each frequency according to age is divided into 65-69 years, 70-74 years, 75-79 years at each frequency, and the mean and standard deviation are 1.03 ± at 0.5KHz. 0.21 sec, 1.10 ± 0.36, 1.95 ± 1.74, and 1.94 ± 0.33 sec, 2.51 ± 0.86 sec, 2.0 ± 0.40 sec at 1 KHz, respectively.
