최근 스마트폰 사용 등과 같은 이유로 잘못된 자세가 발생하고 있다. 이로 인하여 근육들의 불균형 단축이 발생하고 있는데 특히 목빗근이 단축되면 더부신경이 압박되어 위등세모근의 허혈성 통증을 일으킬 수 있다. 그리하여 본 연구는 목빗근 1/3지점의 더부신경 포착점에 허혈성 압박법을 중재하여 위등세모근의 통증에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 본 연구는 여성 8명을 대상으로 4주간 주 2회 중재하였고, 중재 전, 후 그리고 중재 종료 3주 후 평가하였다. 대상자들의 통증을 알아보기 위해 시각적 사상 척도와 맥길 통증 설문지 그리고 압력 통각계를 사용하였다. 본 연구 결과 치료 후 통증이 유의하게 감소한 것을 확인하였으며, 중재 종료 3주 후 역시 통증 감소에 효과가 있는 것을 확인하여 목빗근의 더부신경 압박점의 중재가 위등세모근의 통증 감소와 지속성이 있음을 확인하였다. 차후 연구에서 대상자를 늘려 위등세모근의 통증 감소뿐만 아니라 목의 기능개선도 확인할 필요성이 있을 것이다.

Objectives : Scalenus anticus syndrome and Piriformis syndrome is representative of myogenic Nerve entrapment syndrome, and their clinical symptoms are similar to HIVD(herniated Intervertebral disc) of cervical or lumbar spine. But, distinguished by muscle test, these syndrome apply to Meridian-muscle therapy. Methods : Meridian-muscle therapy consists of Ashi(阿是)-point therapy, taping therapy, myofascial release technique, manipulation, their based on the traditional meridian-muscle theory. This theory is similar to myofascial pain syndrome in western medicine. The study population consisted of 9 patients who were already diagnosed as Nerve entrapment syndrome with radiological examination & physical examination and muscle test. The evaluation of clinical outcome was done by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Pain Assesment Questionnaire(PAQ). Results and Conclusions : After treatment, All patient's VAS is decreased as $2.11{\pm}1.59$ and the evaluation of clinical effect was excellent(6 cases) or good(3 cases) according to PAQ. Conclusively, Meridian muscle therapy is efficacious against Nerve entrapment syndrome.

As a surgical treatment of ulnar nerve entrapment syndrome includes simple decompression, medial epicondylectomy, and anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve into a subcutaneous or submuscular bed have been widely used. Despite many reports of these surgical procedure, there is little to guide the choice of one surgical technique. The purpose of our study is to analyse clinical and electrodiagnostic result after minimal invasive decompression by decompression and medial epicondyloplasty(deepening of ulnar groove). We have experienced 9 cases of ulnar nerve entrapment syndrome who were treated with decompression and medial epicondyloplasty. Male were five and female were four. The mean age at operation was 36 years ranging from 23 to 47 years. Operative procedure was to incise the medial intermuscular septum and aponeurotic arch of flexor carpiulnaris and to deepen the ulnar groove. Patients are allowed to do range of motion(ROM) exercise on the average 5days. All patient were relieved pain and improved motor and sensory function, and this procedure allows early ROM exercise after operation because the muscle have not been detached.

A checkrein deformity can occur after a distal tibiofibular fracture. Usually, a checkrein deformity due to a dysfunction of the extensor hallucis longus muscle is rarer than that of the flexor hallucis longus. Only a few related studies have been reported. The authors encountered an extensor hallucis longus checkrein deformity due to extensor retinaculum syndrome while managing a triplane fracture. In magnetic resonance imaging, an increase in the heterogeneous signal was observed on the T2-weighted images suggesting muscle necrosis or ischemic changes in a part of the extensor hallucis muscle. Postoperative great toe motor weakness, unintentional movement, sensory changes, and weakness improved spontaneously during the follow-up.

When a patient represents pain in foot, physician can easily overlook compression neuropathy of peripheral nerve as it is uncommon. Among nerve entrapment syndrome encountered in the foot, selective compression in lateral branch of deep peroneal nerve (DPN) is rare. We report a case of a patient with pain and dysesthesia in dorsolateral foot which turned out as lateral branch of deep peroneal nerve entrapment syndrome caused by talonavicular joint effusion. We would like to share diagnostic work up flow and conservative treatment courses. This case manifests the importance of the deep peroneal nerve and its branches in clinical setting of pain and ankle instability.

Objectives : To broaden understanding about meridian tendino-musculature acupuncture on nerve compression syndrome of upper limbs and to evaluate the effect of meridian tendino-musculature acupuncture on nerve compression syndrome of upper limbs. Methods and Results : From June 1st to Oct. 31th, the patients were outpatients for treatment of nerve compression syndrome of upper limbs in department of acupuncture and moxibustion, traditional Korean medical hospital, Semyung University and treated with meridian tendino-musculature acupuncture. To evaluate the effect of meridian tendino-musculature acupuncture, thickness of muscle by medical skinfold caliper, coding result(arbitary values used to evaluate results) and VAS(Chief complain) were used. As a result, muscle atropy and symptoms are improved remarkably. Conslusions: Meridian tendino-musculature acupuncture was found to be helpful to patients who wish to recover from their muscle atropy and symptoms of upper limbs. In order to make this meridian tendino-musculature acupuncture more available, we should pay more attention to improving treatment appliance and acupuncture technique.

Purpose: One of the most common cause of upper extremity lymphedema is breast cancer surgery. We experienced the nerve entrapment syndrome which was associated with postmastectomy lymphedema. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of lymphedema induced nerve entrapment syndrome on upper extremity in Korea. Methods: A 54-year-old woman presented with a tingling sensation on her right hand, which had been present for 1 year. On her history, she had a postmastectomy lymphedema on her right upper extremity for 20 years. Initial electromyography (EMG) showed that the ampulitude of the median, ulnar, and dorsal ulnar cutaneous nerve were decreased, and conduction block was also seen in median nerve across the wrist. In needle EMG, incomplete interference patterns were observed in the muscles innervated by median and ulnar nerves. In conclusion, electrophysiologic study and clinical findings suggested right median and ulnar neuropathy below the elbow. Therefore, we performed surgical procedures, which were release of carpal tunnel, Guyon's canal, and cubital tunnel. Results: The postoperative course was uneventful until the first two years. The tingling sensation and claw hand deformity were improved, however, the motor function decreased progressively. In 7 years after the operation, patient could not flex her wrist and thumb sufficiently. EMG which was performed recently showed that ulnar motor response was of low ampulitude. Moreover, median, ulnar, dorsal ulnar cutaneous, lateral antecubital cutaneous and median antebrachial cutaneous sensory response were unobtainable. Abnormal spontaneous activities were observed in upper arm muscles. In conclusion, multiple neuropathies were eventually developed at above elbow level. Conclusion: On treating nerve entrapments associated with lymphedema, medical professionals should be fully aware of the possibility of unpredictable results after the surgery, because of the pathophysiologic traits of chronic lymphedema.

Purpose: Median nerve entrapment syndrome within carpal tunnel is usually called carpal tunnel syndrome and it is the most common form of peripheral nerve entrapment syndrome. Many factors such as diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, hormonal replacement theraphy, corticosteroid use, rhematoid arthritis and wrist fractures may cause carpal tunnel syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of median nerve entrapment syndrome due to adhesion of laceration wound after suicidal attempt. Methods: A 28-year-old woman presented with a sensory change and thenar hypotrophy on her left hand. On her history, she attempted suicide by slashing her wrist. Initial electromyography (EMG) showed that the nerve conduction velocities of median nerve was delayed. Therefore, we performed surgical procedures. When exploration, Fibrous scar tissue observed around the median nerve but nerve had not been injured. Transcarpal ligament was completely released and adjacent fibrous tissue was removed to decompress the median nerve. Results: The postoperative course was uneventful until the first year. Opposition difficulty and thenar hypotrophy were improved progressively after the surgery. Sensory abnormality was slowly improved over one year. Conclusion: We report a case of median nerve entrapment syndrome that was caused by adhesion of laceration wound after suicidal attempt. This is an unusual cause of median nerve entrapment syndrome, the symptoms were relieved after transcarpal ligament release and fibrous scar tissue removal.
