Patellofemoral pain syndrome is the most common problem involving the knee, accounting for 25% of knee injuries. Repetitive, overuse activities cause increased force at the patellofemoral joint, resulting in pain during flexion and extension activities. Most research have been conducted in exploring the patellofemoral compressive force in gait, squat and lunges, even though in real cases, possibilities in landing exist. The purpose of this study was to compare the differences in patellofemoral compressive force according to two different height. Sixteen collegiate male students(age: 22.25 ${\pm}$ 3.30 yrs, height: 177.25 ${\pm}$ 4.44 cm, weight: 77.50 ${\pm}$ 8.18 kg) were chosen. The subjects performed drop landings in 45 cm, 60 cm. The findings demonstrated that higher height showed peak knee extension moment, quadriceps contraction force, patellofemoral compressive force with increased VGRF. Regarding the patellofemoral joint compressive force, it increased by quadriceps contraction force with knee flexion during landing, yet, it showed no difference in maximal knee flexion. To minimize patellofemoral joint stress and reduce the likelihood of developing PFPS, we recommend that predesigned quadriceps and hip muscle group strengthening are needed during conditioning and training.

Wedged insoles are frequently used to reduce the pains caused by the knee arthritis or the foot overuse syndrome. The present study analyzed the effect of wedged rear-foot insoles on the foot pressure in walking. Three medially wedged insoles with three angles (5, 8 and 15") and three laterally wedged insoles with the same angles were made, and a flat insole were prepared. Ten healthy males in twenties walked in a specified line with each insole. Center of pressure (COP), relative vertical force and maximum force on anatomical areas were analyzed from the measured foot pressure data. At heel contact, medially wedged insoles significantly increased the pressure of the medial foot side (COP moved medially by 2-5 mm and maximum pressure of 1st metatarsal head increased by 110-120% relative to the flat insole), In contrast, laterally wedged insoles significantly increased the lateral side pressure (COP moved laterally by 1-5 mm and the ratio of $2^{nd}$ metatarsal head pressure to $1^{st}$ metatarsal head increased by 0.5-2.0 relative to the flat insole). At toe off, both wedged insoles significantly increased the pressure of the medial foot side (COP moved medially by 0.5-10 mm and the ratio of $1^{st}$ metatarsal head pressure to $5^{th}$ metatarsal head increased by 2.0 relative to the flat insole). Especially, the laterally wedged insoles significantly increased the relative vertical force (6-12%) of the rear-foot more than the flat insole.

Purpose : VDT (visual display terminal syndrome) can affect individuals who monitor or who work or play using video screens, including those of smartphones. In general, headache symptoms from overuse of these screens can appear due to eye fatigue, muscle pain in the joints of wrists or fingers, and muscle pain in the neck or shoulders. Many studies in the literature have supported standards that seek to prevent these symptoms. The incidence of musculoskeletal diseases caused by the use of smartphones is expected to increase rapidly, particularly among children and young adults, and these diseases are expected to develop into a societal problem. Therefore, in this study we investigate whether tension headaches that develop from smartphone usage can affect forward neck posture, neck pain, and quality of life. Methods : A total of 93 students from University participated in this study. We divided participants into two groups, those with tension headaches (n = 25) and those without (n = 68) and took forward neck measurements. Headaches were classified according to criteria from the International Headache Society and involved bilateral headache position, quality of pressing or tightening pain, mild or moderate pain intensity, and none due to daily physical activity. We surveyed participants using the smartphone addiction diagnosis questionnaire, the Neck Disability Index (NDI), the Headache Impact Test (HIT-6), and the Quality of Life Questionnaire. Results : Although we found no significant differences in tension headaches due to smartphone addiction diagnosis (p = 0.25), SF-36 life quality assessment (p = 0.06), and cranio-vertebral angle (p = 0.07), we found significant differences from the HIT-6 and the NDI (p <.05). Conclusion : Tension headaches are not correlated with smartphone addiction, quality of life, and forward neck angle but do have a correlation with the degree of cervical dysfunction and the effects of the headaches.

Objectives: We did research in the cause of the Pitchers' injury and their recovery process to make a detailed injury list for the purpose of finding the cause of the Korean professional pitchers' injury and its classification. We drew the conclusion through the results as following. Methods: We posed a question to the 80 pitchers playing in the first team of the eight Korean professional baseball team and analyzed the 62 pieces of question paper except the paper having a mistake. We used SAS/PC statistical package in analyzing the data. Results: In the frequency of the pitchers' shoulder injury in the last three years, the injured of all the players were 61.3$\%$ and the injury free players were 28.7$\%$. The cause of the injury was 45.2$\%$ wrong pitching motion, which was the highest value. For the shape of a pain when injured, the reverberation ache feeling when he is hit in the weight commanded an absolute majority as 19.4$\%$. Those who had muscular pain were 17.7$\%$, which was felt mostly at the pitching motion. The most trouble name of the injured shoulder was bicepstendinitis as 16.1$\%$ while the injury of shoulder joint was the lowest as 1.6$\%$. As the most widely used treatment, 25.8 percent of all the players had taken an electronical thraphy after injury. 14.5 percent of the players who had an injury to the shoulder told that they have an operation and 85 percent of them didn't. As a sort of the operation, a repairing of labrum was 44.4 percent, which is the highest value and the 77.8 percent pitchers are performing a normal pitching through rehabilitation after the operation and 22.2 percent of them are undergoing rehabilitation training. Conclusion: The research have shown that the main cause of the injury, concerning the Korean professional pitchers throwing lots of ball in both matches and practices, is overuse syndrome, bad mechanism, muscle weakness and instability of balance. I think that the role of trainer, physical therapy, and team physician taking charge of the players' injury must learn physical test method by heart exactly to check up the state of the injury definitely at the initial phase. Moreover, when the cause of the injury part after a close examination is discovered, the scientific and good surgery is essential to the rehabilitation success and making a classification of shoulder instability is useful to make a operation plan as well as the players' rehabilitation, treatment.

수영은 육상과 더불어 대표적인 기초 종목으로 손, 발을 사용하여 물속에서 헤엄치는 종목이기 때문에 기술적 훈련과 더불어 물의 압력에 따른 신체적 적응이 매우 중요하게 고려된다. 수영은 지상의 운동과는 다르게 물속에서 손과 발을 이용해 나아가고, 물의 저항으로 인해 근육을 움직이는 전신운동으로 높게 평가되고 있으며, 비만의 예방과 혈관질환의 치료에 많이 사용되는 운동 중 하나이다. 비교적 안전한 종목에 속하지만 다른 스포츠 종목들과 비슷하게 크고 적은 스포츠 상해가 발생 한다. 하지만 현재까지 수영 종목에서 유발되는 상해와 재활에 관한 연구 자료는 부족한 상황이다. 수영 선수의 상해는 일반적으로 고강도의 훈련, 많은 훈련 량 등으로 인해 발생하며, 수영 선수들에게 가장 많이 발생하는 상해와 질환으로는 극상근건염(supraspinatus tendinitis), 이두근건염(biceps tendinitis), 슬관절의 내측 활액막염(synovitis), 발등의 신근 건염(extensor tendinitis), 요통(low back pain)을 동반하는 척추분리증(spondylolysis), 척주전방전위증(spondylolisthesis) 등이 있다고 보고되고 있다. 또한 수영 경영 선수의 스포츠상해 부위 및 빈도조사 연구분석에 의하면 상해부위는 어깨관절(50%), 허리(23%), 하지(22%) 등의 순으로 높게 나타났으며, 상해종류로는 근육 손상과 인대손상이 대부분을 차지한다. 본 연구결과 수영 종목의 상해 부위는 상지(목, 어깨, 팔, 손목), 하지상해(무릎, 발목), 및 허리상해 순으로 나타났다. 그리고 영법별 상해분석으로 자유형, 배영, 접영 영법에서는 어깨 부위 상해가 많이 발생하였고 회전근개손상, 충돌증후군, SLAP (superior labral tear from anterior to posterior) 병변 순으로 나타났다. 평영 영법은 하지손상인 무릎손상, 평영과 접영은 척수상해, 접영은 허리상해 순서로 나타났다. 따라서 지도자는 선수들이 부상을 당하지 않도록 충분한 준비운동과 정리운동을 실시하도록 하고, 응급처치를 숙지하여 부상 발생 시 빠른 응급처치로 2차 손상을 예방할 수 있도록 해야 한다. 아울러 코치 및 지도자는 선수들에게 알맞는 재활 방법들을 처치하고, 선수들의 상해 예방과 처치에 대한 이해와 교육이 수반되어야 할 것이다. 추후 수영 영법 별 상해 예방과 상해 처치 그리고 재활방법에 관한 구체적인 기전적 연구들이 수행 되어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.
