Abstract

This paper tries to examine whether the application of joint mobilization to subjects who have the forward head posture due to malalignment in the cervical joint has influence on posture changes and functions in the cervical joint. The subjects were 39 students from G University in Gyeongsangbuk-do. The cervical joint mobilization was applied to 20 subjects and not to 19. The students with a cervical lordosis angle of $21^{\circ}C$ or less, an anterior weight bearing (AWB) of 15mm or greater, and a cervical extension ROM of $70^{\circ}C$ or less in terms of radiography were selected as subjects under their voluntary agreement. The patients actively performed the joint mobilization slowly 8 times per session while therapists continuously applied sustained accessory glide to their painful joints 3 times per week for 4 weeks along with the cervical expansion and flexion in SNAGS among other Mulligan's (1995) techniques. The measurement was carried out in terms of radiographic inspection and neck disability indexes. As a result of the experiment, it turned out that the subjects with the forward head posture had changes in the cervical AWB and ARA, the ranges of expansion and flexion, and the NDI(Neck Disability Index) after the intervention for the experimental group by applying cervical joint mobilization. There were no changes observed in the control group. In conclusion, the application of joint mobilization turned out to have influence on the improvement of cervical joint postures, and craniocervical region functions.

경추관절의 부정렬로 인한 두부전방자세를 가진 대상자에게 관절가동술을 적용 후 경추관절의 자세변화와 기능에 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 한다. 대상자들은 경상북도 G대학 학생 39명 중 경부관절가동술그룹 20명, 가동술을 적용하지 않은 그룹 19명을 나누어서 실시하였으며, 대상자들은 방사선 사진 촬영을 한 후 그 중 경추전만각(cervical lordosis angle)이 $21^{\circ}C$이하이고, 머리의 전방무게부하(anterior weight bearing, AWB)가 15mm이상이며, 경추 신전 관절가동범위(extension ROM)가 $70^{\circ}C$ 이하인 대학생을 선별하여 자발적 동의를 구하였다, Mulligan 기법(1995) 중 SNAGS로 경추 신전과 굴곡 운동을 주당 3회, 4주간 통증이 있는 관절을 치료사가 지속적인 종속활주운동(sustained accessory glide)을 적용하는 동안 환자가 능동적으로 관절운동을 각 회마다 천천히 8회 정도 적용하였다. 측정 방법은 방사선 검사와 경부장애지수를 통해 실시하였다. 실험 결과 두부전방자세 대상자에게 경부관절가동술 적용 후 경부관절가동술군에서 경부의 AWB와 ARA, 굴곡신전 범위 변화, NDI에 대한 변화가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 대조군에서는 거의 변화가 없었다. 결론적으로 관절가동술 적용이 경부관절의 자세개선을 향상시키는데 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났고, 또한 두경부의 기능개선에서도 도움이 된 것으로 나타났다.
