초록
본 연구는 목과 상지의 누적외상성장애를 호소하는 대상자들중에서 근막동통증후군으로 진단받은 환자군과 단순 증상호소군인 대조군사이에서 검사결과의 분석을 통하여 집단 검진시 고려해 볼 수 있는 검사항목을 찾고자하였다. 조사대상은 컴퓨터를 통한 자료검색 및 대화형태의 업무를 하는 여성 전화교환원 904명이었으며, 근막동통증후군으로 진단받은 105명의 환자군과 상지의 누적외상성장애의 증상만을 호소하는 550명의 대조군을 비교하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 신체계측과 악력 및 Pinch strength 측정결과, 키와 몸무게, 앉은 자세의 높이 등에서는 환자군과 대조군의 차이가 없었으나, 약력은 환자군의 우측손이 대조군보다 유의하게 낮았으며, Pinch strength는 두 군간의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 2. 시각적 상사척도는 환자군의 평균값이
The Association between myofascial pain syndrome and some tests was assessed in a cross-sectional study of 904 female telephone operators using video display terminals(VDTs). 105 cases were diagnosed as Myofascial pain syndrome with symptom questionnaire, laboratory examination and physician's physical examination and 550 controls were defined to show only musculoskeletal symptoms using NIOSH symptom criteria. Data on demographics, musculoskeletal symptom and visual analogue scale(VAS) were obtained by questionnaire. Anthropometric measurements, pressure pain threshold, Grip & Pinch strength and laboratory test were conducted. No significant difference between case and control at comparing of demographics, occupational history and body measurements were observed. But, Grip strength, pressure pain threshold and VAS showed the statistical difference between case and controt. Age, pressure pain threshold of Rt. Upper trapezius and VAS were associated with myofascial pain syndrome in multivariate logistic regression analysis. This results suggest that, to diagnose of myofascial pain syndrome, the consideration of the objective aspects among patients' subjective symptom complaints through the VAS and pressure pain threshold is required.
