The purpose of this study was to investigate the functional changes of the vastus medialis while the neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES) was performed in elderly women with knee osteoarthritis. The subjects of this study were 30 women who were diagnosed degenerative arthritis, 15 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group. The experimental group performed conventional physical therapy and neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and the control group received only conventional physical therapy, five times per week for four weeks. Outcome measures were assessed before and after 4weeks using the VAS(pain), quadriceps femoris strength, thigh circumference, and Q-angle. The data of the quadriceps femoris strength and thigh circumference were significantly increased in experimental group(p<0.05). The data the pain was significantly decreased in both the two groups(p<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in quadriceps femoris strength and thigh circumference between the two groups(p<0.05). As the result, the application of neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the vastus medialis could be more effective for decrease pain and improving muscle function in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

A 7-year-old, intact female Golden Retriever weighing 38 kg was referred for left coxofemoral joint luxation. On physical examination, pain and crepitus were noted atthe left hip joint during joint extension. Radiological examination revealed coxofemoral joint luxation and mild degenerative bone changes in the left hip joint. We performed minimally invasive arthroscopy-assisted reduction with TightRope$^{(R)}$ as a treatment option; however, the left coxofemoral joint was reluxated after one month postoperatively. We performed cementless total hip replacement (THR) of the luxated left coxofemoral joint. At tenmonths after surgery, the dog could sit, stand, walk normally and jump comfortably without lameness. The thigh girth measurement of the operated limb was 108.6% of the contralateral limb. Based on the present case, THR can be a successful treatment for coxofemoral joint luxation in dogs with failed coxofemoral joint reduction.

In this study, university students were allowed to wear the slacks varying the thigh circumference(slim/straight type) and crotch length(long, middle, short crotch type). Tightness and uncomfortability for each slacks were measured to be expressed 5point-likert type. The results can be summarized as follows: 1. At the research for measuring uncomfortability, measures of slim types and straight types of thigh circumference, crotch length B and C, and the body movement such as sitting down on the chair, sitting down with their body curling like a ball, and getting down on their knees were higher in slim types than in straight types. 2. Only crotch length C had different measures between these two types in tightness. 3. In uncomfortability, each of them had different measures among three kinds of crotch length and two types of thigh circumference had different measures among three kinds of crotch length. Four kinds of movement had different measures among three kinds of crotch length in uncomfortability. While uncomfortability of crotch length B was the highest one, that of crotch length A was the lowest one. 4. In tightness, each of them had different measures among three kinds of crotch length. While tightness of crotch length C was the highest one, that of crotch length A was the lowest one. Four kinds of movement had different measures among three kinds of crotch length in tightness.

식도와 인두 재건은 연하작용을 원활하게하고 발선기능을 보존하면서 위험부담이 가장 절은 술식을 선택하는 것이 원칙이다. 술식의 선택에 고려되어야 할 주요 인자는 결손부위의 크기, 창상의 상태, 술전 방사선치료 여부, 환자의 전신상태 등이다. 부분인두결손에는 유경근피판(pedicled myocutaneous flap)이나 유리피판이 적합하며 방사선 치료를 받은 경우는 유리피판이 유리하다. 흉곽입구 상부에 국한된 인두와 식도의 전체둘레결손에는 전완부, 외측 대퇴부, 공장의 유리피판이 좋다. 전완부는 피판이 다루기 쉽다는 장점이 있지만 공여부에 합병증이나 미용상의 문제가 있고 외측 대퇴부는 공여부의 문제는 매우 적으나 피판의 사용이 전완부에 비하여 약간 제한적이다. 공장은 허혈에 약하고 공여부 합병증이 다른 피판에 비해 불리하다. 저자의 경험으로는 흉곽상부에 국한된 결손의 재건에 환자가 비만하거나 대퇴부에 털이 많은 경우는 전완부 유리피판이 좋고 그렇지 않으면 외측 대퇴부 유리피판을 선택하는 것이 좋다고 생각된다. 흉곽입구 하방까지 연장된 결손이나 식도전적출술로 인한 결손에는 위전위술이 가장 적합하다. 방사선치료 등으로 창상에 혈관보호가 요구되는 경우는 대흉근피판이 유용하다. 앞으로 새로운 재건술의 개발이 이어지겠지만 모든 환자에게 맞는 이상적인 재건술은 없다. 재건술마다의 장단점과 제약점을 파악하고 환자의 조건에 따라 가장 적절한 재건술을 선택하는 것이 중요하다.

A twenty six year old man was admitted to our clinic for bleeding from a venous ulcer of the left leg. His left femoral vein had been ligated for bleeding control after a traffic accident that happened when he was 5 years old. He had a varicose vein, stasis dermatitis, and a venous ulcer on his left leg. To shunt left femoral venous return to the right femoral vein, we did a crossover bypass with arteriovenous fistula using the right greater saphenous vein. To get good patency of the arteriovenous fistula, the bypass graft was closed 6 weeks after the initial operation. He maintained his left leg circumference relatively well for 6 months after the operation. We report the case of a patient who had a vein crossover bypass for a chronic femoral vein ligation.

The purpose of this study was to determine how spandex pants affect impact force and muscle activities in the lower extremity. Seven pairs of surface electrodes were attached to the right-hand side of the body. Paired t-test was performed to test if significant difference exist between two conditions(p< .05). The average IEMG activities in the TA, BF, and GM during the landing phase reduced significantly with spandex pants compared to regular pants. All peak IEMG activities except the RF in wearing spandex pants group were significantly greater than the corresponding values in wearing regular pants one. The greater muscle activity recorded in wearing spandex pants can be attributed to the greater motor unit recruitment needed to decelerate and stabilized their bodies. Impact force and loading rate were not significantly decreased with wearing spandex pants. Since the spandex pants used in this study were not custom-fit based on girth of each participants thigh and shank, compression and elasticity for the pants could not be optimized.

The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze changes in body composition and bone mineral density (BMD) during combined exercise in premenopausal women who did not take regular diet or regular physical activity within 6 months, In addition to being able to recognize the importance of pre-menopausal women's health and exercise, it also provides basic data for the development of educational programs for early prevention of osteoporosis prevention education I want to. The average age of the subjects in their 30s was 35.44 years and their height was 158.89 cm in their 30s. The average age of the subjects in their 40s was 41.89 and their average height was 160.78 cm in their 40s. Body composition, BMI, and body fat percentage were higher in the 30s, and bone mineral content, lean body mass, skeletal muscle mass, body weight, body fat mass and waist circumference were higher in their forties. Lumbar spine BMD and femur density were higher in their 30s than their 40s. Body composition, skeletal muscle mass, and fat mass increased in the 30s body composition by age - related complex exercise in premenopausal women, body fat mass, body fat percentage, waist circumference decreased. Body mass, body fat, body fat percentage, and BMI decreased in the 40s. The lumbar spine, the lumbar spine, the lumbar spine, and the femur were increased in the lumbar spine, the lumbar spine, the femur, and the femur. In the post-analysis results, changes in body composition were statistically significant due to decrease in muscle mass, body weight, body fat mass and BMI after combined exercise. In the change of bone density, lumbar spine BMD was measured as lumbar spine 1, lumbar spine 2, lumbar spine 3, And the femur density was increase.

Purpose: This study compared the thigh circumference and Lysholm scale of a stable and unstable exercise group of patients who had undergone an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL reconstruction). Methods: The subjects were patients more than 4 weeks after their ACL reconstruction and could stand on one leg. The patients were divided into a control group with 9 patients performing closed kinetic chain exercises on a stable floor and an experimental group with 10 patients performing closed kinetic chain exercises en an unstable floor. The degree of muscle atrophy was compared by measuring the circumference of the injured thigh before the exercise program, and 3 weeks and 6 weeks after the exercise program. The Lysholm scale was used to assess the function of the knee joint. Results: There was no significant increase in thigh circumference according to the exercise periods in the two groups. However, there was a statistically significant increase before exercises and 6 weeks after the exercises (p<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the Lysholm scores between the two groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: There were no statistically significant increase in the two groups, but there was a significant difference between before the exercise program and 6 weeks after the exercise program (p<0.05).
