Abstract

■Objectives This case study is to report the effects of Korean medicine on parkinsonism patient's Gait Disturbance. ■Methods During 12 days of hospitalization, the patient was treated by acupuncture, pharmaco-acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine, especially Cheongsimyeonjatang-gamibang. In order to assess the change of symptoms, we used a 3-Dimensional(3D) gait analysis system, Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale(UPDRS), analysis of gait video and self-evaluation of discomfort. ■Results After treatment, The improvements of walking pattern were observed in both objective analysis results of gait analysis system and subjective video analysis. And the UPDRS score decreased, especially Part III score decreased more than minimal clinically important difference(MCID). In addition, There was improvement in self assessment of the patient. ■Conclusion This study suggests that Korean medical treatment might be effective in motor disorder of parkinsonism patient.
