본 연구는 발강화 훈련이 유연성 편평발이 동반된 엄지발가락가쪽휨증을 가진 젊은 성인의 엄지발가락가쪽 휨증을 향상하는지에 대하여 평가하였다. 대상자는 총 28명으로 발강화 훈련군(14명)과 대조군(14명)으로 무작위로 나누었다. 8주 훈련 동안 두 군 모두 I.D.W를 착용하였다. 실험군은 발강화 훈련을 8주 동안 주 3회 1회당 20분씩 발강화 훈련을 받았다. 발의 구조와 최대 압력은 엄지발가락 가 쪽 휨 각도, 발허리 뼈의 각도, 발배뼈 높이 변화, 엄지발가락 압력, 2~5번째 발가락 압력, 첫 번째 발 허리뼈 압력, 두 번째 발 허리뼈 압력, 세 번째 발 허리뼈 압력, 네 번째 발허리 뼈 압력, 다섯 번째 발허리 뼈 압력, 중간 발 압력, 안쪽 발뒤꿈치 압력, 바깥쪽 발뒤꿈치 압력에 의하여 평가되었다. 발강화 훈련을 한 군에서 엄지발가락 가 쪽 휨 각도, 1~2 발허리뼈의 각도, 엄지발가락 압력, 첫번째 발 허리뼈 압력, 두 번째 발 허리뼈 압력, 세 번째 발 허리뼈 압력, 중간 발에서 구조와 압력이 유의하게 향상되었다. 본 연구의 결과에서 발 강화 훈련은 유연성 편평발을 동반한 가쪽발가락휨증을 가진 환자에게 유용하고 적절한 훈련으로 제안할 수 있을 것이다.

Bee Venom aqua-acupuncture (BVA) simultaneously exerts pharmacological effects of biologically active compounds, existed in the whole bee venom, and medicinal effect of the stimulation of acupuncture points. BVA has been considered as a promising therapeutic method for treating various chronic diseases, mainly accompanying severe pain and inflammation. As a painless injection device, jet injectors have been commercially marketed for various clinical applications including insulin injection and vaccination. Among them, a pressure-driven jet injector system could be used for intradermal delivery of a variety of drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate the analgesic effects of the BVA using a needle-free injector (Biojector $2000^{\circledR}$, Bioject Inc., OR, USA), compared to the conventional BV aqua-acupuncture using a typical syringe. Adult Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with bee venom $(0.08mg/kg,\;50{\mu}l)$ using Biojector $2000^{\circledR}$ (BVA-B) or a syringe (BVA-5) into the Zusanli (ST36) acupoint, 30 minutes before plantar injection of 2% formalin. It was found that BVA-B-, or BVA-5-treated rats, compared to controls, exhibited significantly less licking behavior during the late phase in the rat formalin test, when compared to controls. During early phase, however, those effects were not significant but substantial. The analgesic effect of BVA-B was also compatible with that of the conventional BVA-5. In the immunohistochemical studies, BVA-B significantly suppressed the expression of formalin-evoked c-fos, a biomarker of neuronal activity, in the lumbar dorsal horn of the spinal cord. These results indicated that BVA-B waseffective in the modulation of pain in the rat formalin test, compared to BVA-5. Taken together, the needle-free jet injector system could be substituted for the conventional aqua- acupuncture with the advantage of little pain.

This study investigated gait characteristics, kinematics, and kinetics in the lower extremities between two different shoe conditions (high heeled shoes (7 cm), and high heeled shoes with a total contact insert (TCI)) after lower extremity muscle fatigue. Although TCI shave been applied in high heeled shoes to increase comfort and to decrease foot pressure, no study has attempted to identify the effects of TCI in fatigue conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of walking in high heeled shoes with TCI after lower extremity muscle fatigue was induced. This study was carried out in a motion analysis laboratory at Hanseo University. A volunteer sample of 14 healthy female subjects participated. All in fatigue conditions, the subjects were divided into two groups. The muscle fatigue was induced by 40 voluntary dorsi- and plantar-flexion exercises and 40 heel-rise exercises of the dominant foot. Surface electromyography was used to confirm the localized muscle fatigue using power spectral analysis of three muscles (tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius medialis and lateralis). The results were as follows: (1) In muscle fatigue conditions, the use of TCI decreased the peak flexion angle of the hip joint significantly in the early stance phase (p<.05) and increased the peak hip flexion moment in the terminal stance phase (p<.05). (2) In muscle fatigue conditions, the application of TCI also increased peak hip power generation in the early stance phase and peak hip power absorption in the terminal stance phase (p<.05). (3) In muscle fatigue conditions, the use of TCI reduced the impact force significantly and increased the secondary peak vertical GRF. These findings suggest that the TCI may provide beneficial effects when muscle fatigue occurs for a high heeled shoe gait. Future research employing the patient population and various types of TCI materials are required to clarify the effects of TCI.

본 연구는 발목강화운동과 무지테이핑 걷기훈련 운동을 통하여 얻어지는 효과를 알아보기 위하여 4주간 발목강화운동과 무지테이핑 걷기운동이 하체기초체력과 보행에 미치는 영향을 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 A대학에 재학중인 20대 여성 30명을 무선 선정하여 발목강화운동군, 무지테이핑 걷기운동군, 통제군 각 10명으로 선정하였다. 본 실험으로는 주 3회 60분간 4주간 수건 및 마사지볼, CRT를 이용한 마사지와 발목강화운동을 실시하였으며, 또한, 화이트 테이프 처치 후 20분간 걷기 및 키네지오 테이프를 이용한 무지외반 테이핑을 실시하였다. 위의 내용을 종합해본다면 4주간의 발목강화운동과 무지테이핑 걷기운동은 20대 여성의 하체기초체력(근력, 순발력, 평형성)과 보행(활보장, 족저압, COP)에는 통계적으로 일부 유의미한 효과를 나타내었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 실시한 발목강화운동과 무지테이핑 걷기운동이 하체 운동기능에 대한 효과를 확인하였으며, 후속연구에서는 통증위치별, 정형외과적 소견별로 나누어 보다 다양한 효과를 알아보는 연구가 필요할 것이라고 사료된다.
