Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report one case of Korean medical treatment of patient with developmental abnormality by cerebral palsy whose main symptoms are difference in left and right leg length, foot size and construction of right ankle. Methods : We did retrospective study for one developmental abnormality patient who had been treated by herbal medicine(Samul-tang, Yookmijihwang-tang hap Yijin-tang + Sungjang-hwan), acupuncture, and moxibustion for more than one year. The effects of treatment were evaluated by measurement of leg length, foot size and dorsiflexion ROM. Results : After treatment, length and foot size difference between both leg, ROM difference between both ankle were almost reduced. According to the ratio of the right to the left, leg length was improved from 0.91 to 0.98 and foot size was improved from 0.93 to 0.98. The difference in left and right ankle dorsiflexion ROM was improved from 55° to 27.5°. Conclusions : This clinical case study has demonstrated that Korean medicine may be an safe and effective option for treating developmental abnormality.
