본 연구는 만성요통환자 30명을 대상으로 PNF와 체간 운동프로그램을 적용한 다음 환자들의 통증, 기능장애 그리고 정적균형과 동적균형에 미치는 효과에 대해 알아보기 위해 실시하였다. 각 군의 운동효과를 측정하기 위해 모든 대상자는 통증과 함께 Oswestry 장애지수와 외다리기립검사를 통해 정적균형을 측정하였고, Balance 측정기를 이용하여 동적균형을 측정하였다. 그 결과 통증, Oswestry 장애지수, 외다리 기립검사 및 동적균형 모두 체간운동군에 비해 PNF 군이 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 따라서 이번 연구결과를 통해 알 수 있는 것은 PNF의 내려치기와 들어올리기 패턴이 만성 요통환자에게 효과적이라는 것을 알 수 있다.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of core stability training at deep abdominal muscle for balance control of hemiplegic patient. Method : The subject of this study was a 47-year-old man with right hemiplegia. He was treated five times a week for three weeks with core stability training at deep abdominal muscles. Evaluation tool was used Functional reach test(FRT), timed up and go test(TUG) and one leg standing for stroke patients. Result : The FRT distance increase, TUG time decrease, one leg standing time increase core stability training at deep abdominal muscles for right hemiplegia improved was the ability for maintain balance. Posture and control of trunk stability are changing posture, and so which showed significant improve of total balance control. Conclusion : The result of this study showed that core stability training at deep abdominal muscles is an effective treatment for balance control. Therefore, it could be considered as a treatment method in the rehabilitation of stroke patient with poor postural control and imbalance, although further studies are needed.

PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of the chopping pattern of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) on the neglect, balance ability, and activities of daily living in stroke patients with hemi-spatial neglect. METHODS: Twenty stroke patients with neglect volunteered for this study. The subjects were assigned randomly to either the experimental group (EG, n=10) or control group (CG, n=10). The chopping pattern of PNF and exercise therapy were applied in the EG and CG, respectively, for four weeks. Neglect, balance, and activities of daily living were evaluated at the pre-and post-intervention. The assessment tools included a line-bisection test, balance test using Space balance 3D, and modified Barthel index. The pre-and post-intervention values were compared in each group using a paired t-test and the between-group differences were assessed using an independent t-test. Statistical significance was set to ${\alpha}=.05$ for all variables. RESULTS: Significant differences were observed between the EG and CG in terms of neglect, balance, and activities of daily living (p<.05). Both groups showed significant improvement in neglect, balance, and activities of daily living (p<.05). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the chopping pattern of PNF is effective in improving the hemi-spatial neglect, balance, and activities of daily living in stroke patients with neglect.
