Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the application of a Thorax belt affects the stability of the spine in subjects with a wide infra-sternal angle. A total of 15 subject with wide infra-sternal angle participated in the experiment. Active Double leg lowering and active one-leg raising were performed with or without a thorax belt. Two spinal stability tests (active double lowering and active one-leg raising) performed with or without thorax belt application showed significant differences between each condition. Based on the results of present study, the application of a thorax belt is considered to be an effective therapeutic tool that can stabilize the spine to subjects with abnormally increased chest cage and spinal or trunk instability.

본 연구의 목적은 정상 범위보다 큰 명치각을 가진 대상자들에게 가슴벨트 적용이 척추 안정성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 정상 범위보다 큰 명치각을 가진 총 15 명의 대상자가 본 연구에 참여했으며 가슴벨트 적용 유-무의 조건에서 능동적 두 다리 내리기와 능동적 한 다리 올리기가 수행되었다. 가슴 벨트 적용 여부에 따라 수행 된 두 가지 척추 안정성 테스트 (능동적 두 다리 내리기와 능동적 한 다리 올리기)는 각 조건 간에 유의 한 차이를 보였다. 본 연구의 결과에 따르면, 가슴벨트 적용은 비정상적으로 증가된 명치각으로 인해 척추 또는 몸통 불안정성을 가진 대상자에게 척추를 안정화 시켜줄 수 있는 효과적인 치료적 방법으로 여겨진다.
