Purpose: This study aims to verify the effectiveness of sit-to-stand training with visual feedback to improve balance ability and knee extensor strength of total knee replacement patients. Methods: In this study, 15 patients with total knee replacement participated in this study. Subjects were assigned to two groups: a feedback group (experimental group)(n = 8) and a control group (n = 7). They all received 30 min of continuous passive motion (CPM) and sit-to-stand training for 15 min five times per week for two weeks. Knee extensor and balance ability were measured. Knee extensor was measured by Biodex system 3; balance ability was measured by Balancia software. Results: After the intervention, there was a significant difference in the strengthening of the knee extensor muscles in the feedback group, area 95%, weight distribution of the affected side, and the sit-to-stand test repeated five times (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that sit-to-stand training with visual feedback was more effective in increasing knee extensor muscle strength and balance ability than the sit-to-stand training without visual feedback. Therefore, in order to improve the knee extensor muscle and the balance of total knee replacement patients, it is necessary to consider providing visual feedback during sit-to-stand training.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate pain relief and functional recovery after total knee replacement. Methods: The treatment was performed by dividing individuals into a control group ($n_1=5$), ultrasound treatment group ($n_2=5$), and micro-current treatment group ($n_3=5$). The control group applied the hot pack for 15 minutes, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) for 15 minutes, and Continuous Passive Movement (CPM) for 40 minutes. The ultrasound therapy group applied the frequency of 1 MHz, intensity of 1.0 $W/cm^2$ for five minutes following the same treatment as the control group. The micro-current therapy group applied the intensity of 25 ${\mu}A$, and pulsation frequency 5 pps for 15 minutes following the same treatment as the control group. After treatment, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Korean Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (K-WOMAC), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Range of Movement (ROM) and wound length was measured. Results: VAS showed significant effect in the control group and micro-current therapy group during the treatment period. According to the treatment of K-WOMACK, BBS, ROM, and Healing wounds showed main effects between groups. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, data showed improvement of pain relief, wound healing effects, and range of motion recovery. Thus, these selected treatments were effective after total knee replacement. In other words, electrical treatment continues to influence pain relief and functional recovery after total knee replacement.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Korean rehabilitation treatement for patients with post-TKR. The medical records of inpatients undergoing Korean rehabilitation treatment after TKR from 2016.01.01. to 2021.12.31. during the admission, were analyzed retrospectively. The effect of treatment was evaluated by using a numeric rating scale(NRS) and range of motion(ROM) of knee. Statistical analysis was done using the IBM SPSS statistics 26 program. If the period of hospitalization was within 7 days or change of NRS and ROM was not recorded properly, the case was excluded. All inpatients received acupuncture treatment, Electro-acupuncture. Soyeom pharmaco-acupuncture were used at a high rate. Blood letting cupping therapy, dry cupping therapy, Interferential Current Therapy(ICT) continuous passive motion(CPM), cryotherapy were used at a high rate. A significant improvement was noted when comparing the NRS and knee ROM results at the time of admission and discharge. Korean medical rehabilitation can be effectively used for patients who have undergone TKR, to relieve pain and enable returning to daily activities. It is expected to be helpful in future studies of post-TKR in Korean Medicine. Also It can be used for medical treatment of post-TKR in Korean Medicine Hospital and clinic. However, further research with a high level of evidence is necessary to support this finding.

목적: 주관절의 퇴행성관절염에 대해 측와위에서 견인 후 관절경을 이용한 수술적 치료를 시행하고 그 결과와 술식의 유용성을 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 12개월 이상 추시가 가능하였던 주관절의 퇴행성관절염 21례를 대상으로 하였다. 남자가 15례 여자가 6례였으며 평균 연령은 47세, 우세지가 14례였다. 모든 례에서 수술은 전신 마취하에 측와위에서 10파운드의 견인 상태로 관절내 활액막염, 골성 유리체, 관절의 전방 및 후방의 골극을 제거 하였다. 수술 후 최대 신전 상태에서 고정을 하였으며 2일부터 CPM을 이용한 운동을 시행하였다. 결과: 수술전 관절 운동 범위는 평균 $30{\sim}115$도였으며 수술 후 평균 $5{\sim}130$도로, 신전과 굴곡 각각 25도 16도, 전체적으로 41도 증가하였다. 통증에 대한 VAS상 7.5점에서 2.3점으로 감소, 기능 만족도는 1.8에서 9.0으로 증가하였다. 합병증은 2례로 1례는 척골 신경의 이상 감각증상이 있었으나 보존적 치료에 소실되었고, 1례는 수포가 형성되었으나 치유되었다. 결론: 주관절 관절경 수술시 측와위에서의 견인은 넓은 시야 확보에 도움을 주었다. 간단한 견인 방법으로 주관절의 퇴행성 관절염에 대해 관절경 수술을 시행한 바 통증의 의 해결과 관절 운동 범위 회복에 있어 우수한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
