Patients were examined at the following intervals: Initial assessment, one month after initial. at discharge, and one month after discharge. The mean BI score of patients initial assessment was 27.18, and that of PS was 17.54. There were statistically significant between initial score and one month after initial (21.39: p<0.001), at discharge(37.47: p<0.001), one month after discharge(46.49: p<0.001). PS scores were also improved .significantly(-2.62, -4.52. and -6.26(p<0.001). And the score between dischange and one month after discharge was significant (9.01: p<0.001) and in PS score(-1.73: p<0.001). Age and BE score were significantly associated with the improved in BI score between initial and discharge(T3-T1)(p<0.05). Below age forty the Bower initial BI score showed significantly higher improvement(T3-T1) after physical therapy(p<0.05). Initial Bl score, patients' attitude for physical therapy after discharge, age, and surgical operation were significantly associated with the improvement of BI score between initial and one month after discharge(T4-T1)(p<0.05). The lower initial BI score, patients' positive attitude for physical therapy after discharge, below age forty. and no surgical operation showed significantly higher improvement(p<0.05). BI score at discharge, side of hemiparesis and religion were significantly associated with the improvement of BI score between at discharge and one month after discharge(T4-T3) (p<0.05). The lower BI score at discharge. left aide of hemiparesis, with religion showed significantly higher improvement (p<0.05). Age, initial PS score were significantly associated with the improved in PS score between initial and discharge(T3-T1)(p<0.05). The higher initial PS score and below age forty showed significantly higher improvement(T3-T1)(p<0.05). Initial PS score, patient' attitude for physical therapy after discharge, age, educational level, physical therapy hour after discharge, and surgical operation were significantly associated with the improvement of PS score between initial and one month after discharge(T4-T1)(p<0.05).

마사지 치료는 한국에서 가장 일반적인 치료 도구의 하나로써 물리치료에서 적용되고 있으며 방법도 빠르게 변하고 있다. 지금까지 여러 형태의 마사지 방법들이 국내 물리치료사에게 소개 되어왔지만 림프흡수 마사지는 임상결과가 이전의 연구에서 제시되어 왔음에도 제대로 소개되지 않아서 일반적인 치료적 마사지 방법의 하나로 사용되고 있지는 않았다. 이에 본 연구자들은 현재 국제 림프학회에서 공인된 보더 스쿨의 엠엘디 코스를 임상 물리치료사들에게 소개함으로 해서, 국내에서의 치료의 질을 한 층 더 높이는 기회가 되고자 한다. 공식적으로 공인된 보더 방법의 엠엘디 치료사가 되기 위해서는 보더 스쿨에서 교육하고 있는 모든 교육과정들(기초, 치료 I, 치료 II+III) 치료를 이수해야만 한다. 이수 후 지속적으로 자격을 인정받기 위해서는 2년에 한 번씩 재이수 과정을 마쳐야 하며 이런 과정을 통해 만성 부비동염, 부종, 화상, 관절염, 림프부종 등의 다양한 종류의 질환을 엠엘디를 이용하여 치료할 수 있게 된다. 결과적으로, 이 연구를 통해 보더의 엠엘디 과정을 소개함으로 해서 앞으로 국내 물리치료 분야에서 더 많은 림프와 암에 관련된 전문 엠엘디 치료사가 배출되기를 바라며 그러므로 한 층 국내 물리치료 분야의 질을 올릴 수 있는 기회가 되었으면 한다.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the effect of applying elastic taping and passive stretching exercises simultaneously on the muscle tone of the upper trapezius. METHODS: Thirty healthy adults were randomly divided into two groups: the 'passive stretching exercise' group (n = 15) and the 'passive stretching exercise with elastic taping' group (n = 15). Muscle tone was measured using the MyotonPRO®. The muscle tension was measured immediately after the stretching exercises and taping intervention, and again 5 minutes after the intervention. RESULTS: Within each group, there was a significant reduction in muscle tone in the upper trapezius after treatment (p < .05). However, there was no significant difference in the muscle tone reduction between the groups (p > .05). Both experimental and control groups showed a significant decrease in muscle tone in both the upper trapezius muscles over time, i.e., immediately after treatment and five minutes later (p < .05). The main effect of time was identified in the repeated measures analysis, while there was no main effect attributed to the treatment method (group) (p < .05). CONCLUSION: The simultaneous application of stretching exercises and taping as an intervention to reduce muscle tension in the upper trapezius is still considered challenging and not yet widely regarded as an essential intervention method.
