Method: The 30 subjects who had micro-current in this research and randomly assigned into two group, an experiment group and a control group. micro-current was applied to 15 subject in the experiment group after general physical therapy. experiment group was applies general therapies and micro-current stimulation. The measurement were analyzed by using SPSS(V.20). In order to compare the post to the amount of pre-changes and post-changes of each group, the paired t-test was used. The difference between the experiment group and the control group was analyzed by using the analysis of convariance.
