자동차 충돌에 의하여 편타성 손상이 일어나게 되는데, 대부분 경추부분에서 발생한다. 이러한 편타성손상의 메카니즘은 아직까지 명확히 밝혀지지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다물체 경추에 근육을 부착한 모델을 만들고, 부착된 근육에 follower load 개념에 근거한 최적화방법을 이용하여 계산된 초기힘(preloads)를 가하였다. 경추모델에서 추체, 추간판 및 근육은 인간의 해부학적 정보와 일치시켜 제작되었다. 이번 연구의 목적은 경추모델에 부착된 근육에 초기힘이 존재할 때 초기힘의 편타성 손상에의 영향을 조사하는 것이다. 결론적으로, 초기힘이 존재하는 근육-경추모델의 경우가 초기힘이 존재하지 않는 모델에 비하여 좀더 실제와 일치하는 경향성을 보여주었다.

To check pain and treatment satisfaction, visual analog scale(VAS) and five-point likert scale were used before and after treatment. Result : Both acupuncture theraphy showed improvement in VAS and five-point likert scale. And Local Acupoints group showed more effective than Distal Acupoints group on five-point likert scale. Conclusion : This Study suggests that Acupuncture on Local Acupoints and Distal Acupoints can be applicable to improve symptom in Patients with Whiplash Injury.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of kinesio taping and neuromuscular rehabilitation exercise for patients with acute whiplash-associated disorders. Methods: Twenty acute whiplash-associated disorders patients were recruited for the study. Subjects were randomly allocated into two groups. Neuromuscular rehabilitation group (NRG) received neuromuscular rehabilitation exercise, kinesio taping group (KTG) received kinesio taping. All subject was evaluated before and after intervention by their range of motion (ROM), neck disability index (NDI), numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) and fatigability. Results: First, the ROM was significantly increased in all group (p<.05). The NDI, NPRS and fatigability were significantly decreased in all group (p<.05). Secondly, NRG had significantly more increased ROM (flexion, both rotation) than KTG (p<.05). NRG had significantly more decreased NDI, NPRS and fatigability than KTG (p<.05). Conclusion: According to the results above, increased in range of motion in the neck, decreased in NDI, NPRS, fatigability were more effective in the NRG that received neuromuscular rehabilitation exercise than the KTG that received kinesio taping.

The clinical features and therapeutic results of alopecia areata are variable and unpredictable. For example, genetic, psychic, immunologic factors are regarded as the reason of alopecia areata. For the relationship between alopecia and whiplash injury, Dr. Guun explained that whiplash injury by the traffic accident produces cervical muscle spasm, and it makes autonomic nerve change. The tropical changes accompanied with ischemic change of scalp vessels made by this mechanism cause alopecia areata. And Yesudian reported the case of scalp alopecia as the result of ischemic change following traffic accident. We have experienced a 25-year-old woman with Alopecia areata following whiplash injury by traffic accident, and who had no risk factor of it. The patient was treated by acupuncture and physical treatment. Her hair loss, cervical angle and pain were improved through acupuncture treatment. This case of alopecia areata following whiplash injury is uncommon, so we report the mechanism of it, but should collect more cases and observations.

Objectives : This study is to applied effectively to the acupuncture treatment for disorders following whiplash injuries. Methods : This study suggests five various ways and principtes of treating disorders following whiplash injuries by means of acupuncture. First principle is that acupuncture treatment is carried out on acupoint far from cervical spine at acute stage, on the other hand, Extraordinary Vessel and other acupuncture treatment such as five element acupuncture treatment is applied at chronic stage in order to control balance disoders due to cervical pathology. Second is acupuncture treatment will be performed in group of three part of Meridian System-Yangmyung, Taeyang, Soyang-according to cervical kinetic, its characteristic and location of pain. Third is acupuncture treatment could be performed on basis of theory of Eohyel-disorders and disturbance of blood circulation. Fourth is to decrease tension of SCM muscle, because disorders following whiplash injuries has much association to injury of CM muscle and is simillar to tension syndroms of SCM muscle. fifth is taping therapy could control and decrease disorders following whiplash injuries based on spiral balance taping theory. Conclusions : These results suggest that acupuncture treatment for disorders following whiplash injuries will significally decrease pain and control syndrom caused by cervical disorder.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of electro-acupuncture treatment for whiplash injury patients caused by traffic accident. Methods : 58 patients were divided into two groups, experimental group and control group, of 29 patients each. Experimental group was treated with electro-acupuncture treatment and general acupuncture treatment twice per week for four weeks. Control group was treated with general acupuncture treatment twice per week for four weeks. We evaluated the treatment effect of each group with the visual analog scale(VAS) and neck disability index(NDI). Results : 1. In both two groups, VAS and NDI were decreased significantly in statistics as treatment went on. 2. From 1st medical examination day to 4th treated day and From 1st medical examination day to 8th treated day, there were significant reduction of the VAS in experimental group than control group. 3. From 1st medical examination day to 8th treated day, there were not significant reduction of the NDI in experimental group than control group. Conclusions : We suggest that cotreatment of electro-acupuncture treatment could be recommended as a useful therapy in the early stages whiplash injury patients.
