Background : Respiratory muscle weakness has serious clinical consequences. Vital Capacity is the volume of air that is normally exchanged in a single breath. It varies widely with pulmonary health and overall fitness. Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the variation of vital capacity(VC) according to the effects of Kinesio taping and balloons blowing. Methods : Twenty-one non-smokers were participated in this research and these subjects were randomly assigned into three groups; a balloons blowing group(n=7), a Kinesio taping group(n=7), and a balloons blowing and Kinesio taping group(n=7). This experiment was done from June 22, 2009 to July 5, 2009. In order to measure the VC variation effects of Kinesio taping, balloons blowing, and both intervention, an windmill type spiropet was used. The collected data were analyzed statistically by using a paired t-test and ANCOVA. Results : The results of this study were as follows; 1) In the case of balloons blowing, there was a significant difference, 3.35% increase of VC, between before and after 2 weeks experiments(p<.01). 2) In the case of Kinesio taping, there was a significant difference, 11.66% increase of VC, between before and after 2 weeks taping intervention(p<01). 3) In the case of both balloon blowing and Kinesio taping, there was a significant difference, 15.84% increase of VC, between before and after 2 weeks both interventions(p<.01). 4) After 2 weeks experiment, the improvement of VC was shown a significant difference with intergroup(p<.05). Conclusion : From these results, it was revealed that balloons blowing or Kinesio taping, or both interventions were effective to improve VC of healthy adults.

Purpose : To compare the immediate effects of air stacking maneuver using resuscitator bags and balloons. Methods : Twenty healthy young adults participated in this study. Forced vital capacity (FVC) and peak cough flow (PCF) tests were performed at pre-intervention, and then, the maximum insufflation capacity (MIC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), FEV1/FVC, peak expiratory flow (PEF), and peak cough flow (PCF) were measured using the air stacking maneuver via resuscitator bags and balloons. Interventions were randomly performed, and a 40-min break was provided between interventions. The evaluation process in this study was conducted in accordance with the guidelines of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) 2019. To compare the three outcomes measured at pre-and post-interventions, repeated measures analysis of variance was performed. Results : A significant difference was found in the MIC, FEV1, PEF, and PCF after the air stacking maneuver using resuscitator bags and balloons, whereas no significant difference was observed between resuscitator bags and balloons. Conclusion : No significant difference was found in the immediate effect of the air stacking maneuver using resuscitator bags and balloons in this study. Air stacking maneuver using balloons can increase the success rate of the techniques by providing visual feedback on the amount of air insufflation when performed with balloon blowing exercise. Balloons are cheaper and easier to buy compared to manual resuscitator bags; therefore, education on the air stacking maneuver using balloons will have a positive effect on pulmonary rehabilitation.

본 연구는 20대 경도 지적장애인들을 대상으로 풍선불기운동이 복합적인 폐활량과 최대환기량에 어떤 영향을 주는지 알아보고자 한다. 실험군 10명, 대조군 10명으로 실험에 참여하였다. 실험군은 풍선불기운동을 하루에 30분씩 실시하였고, 대조군은 가로막운동을 30분씩 실시하였다. 실험대상자들은 실험전과 실험후에 Fitmate를 사용하여 폐활량과 최대환기량을 측정하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS win 18.0을 실행하였다. 실험대상자는 실험전과 실험후에 차이를 비교하기 위해 대응비교를 실시하였다. 실험 후 실험군은 대조군보다 폐활량과 최대환기량이 더 높게 나타났다. 이 연구를 통해 실험군은 대조군보다 폐활량과 최대환기량이 더 증가되었다. 지적장애인들을 위한 다양한 호흡운동 프로그램을 개발하여 지속적으로 건강을 관리한다면 삶의 질을 높일 수 있다고 생각한다.

이하선 기종은 이하선 종대의 원인 중 매우 드문 질환으로, 이하선의 종창과 통증 등의 증상을 나타낸다. 이하선 기종은 유리 부는 직공이나 관악기 연주자 등 여러 구강 내 압력이 증가하는 상황에서 이하선 내로 공기가 들어가 발생할 수 있다. 저자들은 최근 습관적인 볼 부풀리기로 유발된 양측 이하선 기종 환자를 경험하고, 이에 대해 습관 교정을 통한 보존적 치료로 호전되었기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
