본 연구는 곧은 다리를 가지고 있는 여대생과 특발성 내반슬이 있는 여대생들의 고관절 ROM과 등속성 근력에 대해 비교 분석하여 내반슬의 교정을 위한 운동치료적 접근을 위한 객관적인 자료를 제시하고자 한다. 아울러 새롭게 개발된 운동장비 발로아(2013, Balloa/Adonia/Korea) 동작과정을 통해 휜다리 가진 실험자 내전근 대퇴부와 심층근의 상태를 실험하여 그의 효과와 적용성을 검토한 결과 내반슬이 있는 사람에게는 고관절 외회전 ROM을 증가시키기 위한 신장기법과 고관절 내회전근의 활동성을 억제시키고 외회전근을 단련시킬 수 있는 운동기법이 필요하다. 발로아 기구는 고관절 외회전 ROM을 증가시키며 둔근과 심층근, 내전근을 강화시키며 근력강화 기능으로 내반슬 환자의 교정운동에 효과적임을 나타내었다.

배경: 자가 중력 지압 프로그램 참여 후 내반슬이 개선되는 사례가 개별적으로 확인되고 있으나 체계적인 관찰이 진행되지 못한 상태이다. 목적: 자가 중력 지압 프로그램을 실시 후 무릎 내측 각도의 변화를 후향적으로 관찰하여 자가 중력 지압 프로그램이 내반슬 교정에 미치는 효과를 평가하기 위함이다. 방법: 내반슬이 관찰되는 50명을 대상으로, 지압 도구 위에 누워서 75분간 지압 프로그램을 수행한 후 프로그램 실시 전후 무릎 내측 각도의 변화를 비교했다. 결과: 연구대상자들의 무릎 내측의 평균 각도는 지압프로그램 실시 후 좌측 7.29±3.85° (p < .000), 우측 7.08±3.86° (p < .000) 증가하여 연구 대상자의 내반슬이 유의하게 개선되는 것이 확인됐다. 결론: 본 연구의 결과는 자가 중력 지압 프로그램이 내반슬 교정에 활용될 수 있다는 가능성을 제시한다. 본 연구의 결과를 임상적으로 활용하기 위해, 자가 중력 지압 프로그램이 내반슬을 개선하는 효과에 대한 기전 및 임상적 효과를 최적화하는 추후 연구가 요구된다.

본 연구는 탄성밴드운동과 스트레칭을 이용한 내반슬 교정운동프로그램이 내반슬 대학생의 무릎간 간격, Q-각, 족압에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보는데 그 목적이 있다. 총 30명의 내반슬 대학생을 대상으로 실험군과 대조군을 각각 15명씩 무작위 선정하여 실험군은 6주 동안 스트레칭과 탄성밴드를 이용한 교정 운동 프로그램을 실시하였고, 대조군은 일상생활을 유지하게 하였다. 중재 전 후 무릎사이 간격과 Q-각의 변화를 알아보기 위해서 computed radiography X-ray를, 족압 분포변화를 확인하기 위해 RSscan을 사용하여 족압 분포를 측정하였다. 6주간의 교정운동프로그램 실시한 결과, 중재 전보다 중재 후 무릎간 간격이 유의하게 감소하였고, Q-각은 유의하게 증가하였다. 족압 분포는 중재 후에 2-5 지골과 1, 2, 3 중족골 족압이 증가하였으며, 4, 5 중족골 족압은 유의하게 감소하였다 (p<.05). 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구에서 실시한 내반슬 교정운동프로그램이 신체의 정렬과 족압 분포도의 배열을 맞추는데 효과가 있으며, 이를 통해 내반슬 변형자에게 긍정적인 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of Chuna and Stylex device treatment in patients with genu varum. Methods 2 patients (21/male, 40/female) with genu varum were recruited in this study. Chuna treatment at pelvic, and stylex device treatment at both legs were applied to all participants. Outcomes were assessed using Q-angle (Quadriceos angle), TFA (Tibiovemoral angle), Distance of both sides patella. Results 1. Distance of both sides patella were decrease in all case. 2. Q-angel and TFA were decrease in case 1. but slight invrease in case 2. Conclusions This study showed that Chuna and Stlyex divice treatments could be used as an effective method for decrease distance of both sides patella. but Q-angle and TFA need more research on whether proper assessment as a measure of genu varum.

This study categorized 100 female subjects over 65 years of age into two groups. The first group is called 'early stage of varus', which is when the gap between the knees is less than 5 cm. The second group is called 'progressive varus', which is when the gap between knees is 5 cm (or more). We then analyzed their lower body shapes and life status. The results were as follows. The average gap between knees in the early stage group and the progressive group was 3.3 cm and 6.2 cm. Direct and indirect measurements of their lower bodies showed that subjects in the progressive group had longer legs than the other group because their legs were bent outwards. Most of the subjects were found to live in western housing conditions, but maintained sedentary lifestyles. A total of 60% of the subjects thought that they were in bad health conditions and said that they found it difficult to move their knees dynamically; in addition, 63.6% of the subjects in the early stage group and 73.5% of the subjects in the progressive group suffered from arthritis. Subjects in the progressive group were more aware than the other group that their legs were bent outwards. They also responded that bent legs do harm to their appearance and make their lives uncomfortable. Most senior females with varus did not seek medical treatment and did not buy clothes that can help change their varus. However, 95% of the subjects responded they were in need for clothes that could straighten the varus-type.

The purpose are to assess the efficacy of a contact lateral-wedged insole with strapping on the femorotibial angle in patients with varus deformity osteoarthritis of the knee after treatment period. 25 outpatients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) were randomized to be treated with a contact lateral-wedge insole with strapping. Standing radiographs were used to analyze the femorotibial angle for each subject. The result of repeated two-way ANOVA's reveled that a contact lateral-wedged insole with strapping produced significantly differences in the femorotibial angle between groups after treatment period (P<0.05). and repeated one-way ANOVA's reveled that it produced significantly differences in the femorotibial angle between experimental groups after treatment period (P<0.05). We suggest that these results may be beneficial for manufacturing foot orthotic devices, such as wedged insoles, to control medial and later compartment forces in the knee varus-valgus deformity.

This study was designed to evaluate clinical effects of device for correcting bowleg and Chuna to patients with genu varum. The clinical study was carried out 4 cases with genu varum, who had been treated from April, 2009 to May, 2010 in the department of oriental rehabilitation medicine, Sang-ji university oriental medical hospital. After treating device for correcting bowleg and Chuna, we find out that genu varum was improved after treatment. So these results suggest that device for correcting bowleg and Chuna was effective to patients with genu varum.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the Correlation between Pelvic angle and the Tibiofemoral angle in the Genu varum. Method : Age of All subjects were 20-37 years. 33(male 10, female 23) subjects were assessed by whole spine x-ray and orthogram. The collected data consisted of items on general characteristics, Pelvic Incidence(PI), Pelvic Tilt(PT), Sacral Slope(SS) and Tibiofemoral Angle(TFA) of the subjects. Results : The PI, PT and TFA had a relationship significantly. However, there was no relationship between SS and TFA. Conclusion : The results suggest that TFA is related to PI, PT. Internal rotation due to genu varum of femoral at hip influence that PI and PT increase.

The purpose are to demonstrate the pain, stiffness, and physical function by the Korean Western Ontario MacMaster University(KWOMAC) score of the patients with varus deformity osteoarthritis of the knee after treatment period. Twenty outpatients with knee osteoarthritis(OA) were randomized and divided into the control(n=10) and wedge(n=10) groups. The remission scores of the KWOMAC index of severity for knee OA were compared between the groups. The result of repeated two-way ANOVA's revealed that a contact lateral-wedged insole with strapping produced significantly differences in the pain and physical function score between groups after treatment period(P<0.05), but it was not significant differences in the stiffness score between groups(P>0.05). These results suggest that the pain relief and improvement in function reported by patients with osteoarthritis while using lateral-wedged insole with strapping may be achieved by a reduction in external varus moment and medial compartment load.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of Chuna and taping treatment in patients with genu varum. Methods : Twenty-seven patients(male:10, female:17) with genu varum were recruited in this study. Chuna treatment at pelvic, and taping treatment at both legs were applied to whole participants. Outcomes were assessed using Q-angle(Quadriceps angle, QA), tibiofemoral angle(TFA), width and length of lesser trochanter(LT), pelvic incidence(PI), pelvic(PT), sacral slope(SS), lumber lordosis angle(LLA), meridian-electromyography(MEMG), Korean western ontario and McMaster universities osteoarthritis index(KWOMAC), and distance of femoral intercondylar distance(ICD). Results : 1. QA, LT width and LT length in radiograph were significantly increased. 2. PI, SS, PT and TFA in radiograph were significantly decreased. 3. The left vastus medialis portion contraction of female was significantly decreased after treatment. 4. The left rectus femoris portion fatigue was significantly decreased after treatment in male subjects. 5. The vastus medialis portion fatigue was significantly decreased after treatment in female subjects. 6. The distance of femoral ICD was significantly decreased. Conclusions : This study showed that Chuna and taping treatment could be used as an effective method for the treatment of genu varum.
