Purpose : This study attempts to examine the effect of the balance exercise on the unstable surfaces for the vital capacity in healthy adults. Methods : A total of 13 subjects was randomly divided into a breathing exercise training group (n=7) and a breathing and balance exercise training group (n=6). Changes in vital capacity and respiratory muscle activity were measured before and after the intervention. The intervention was performed three times a week for four weeks. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1) and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) were used as measurement tools for the vital capacity test. Electromyography (EMG) was also used to examine respiratory muscle activity. Result : The breathing exercise training group showed significant improvement in terms of FVC, FEV1 and external oblique (EO), and transverse abdominis/internal oblique (TrA/IO) of MVV. The breathing and balance exercise training group showed significant improvement in terms of FVC, MVV and EO, TrA/IO of FVC and rectus abdominis (RA), EO, and TrA/IO of MVV. However, in comparing changes in vital capacity and respiratory muscle activity before and after the training, the breathing exercise training group and the breathing and balance exercise training group showed a significant difference in terms of MVV. Conclusion : This study is as a preliminary study to find out the relation between a balance exercise and a vital capacity, it is considered to require a further study with several revisions of subjects, duration and time for an intervention.

Objective: This study investigated the effects of air stacking training (AST) on pulmonary function, respiratory strength, and peak cough flow (PCF) in persons with cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI). Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: A total of 24 persons with CSCI were randomly allocated to the AST group (n=12) or the incentive spirometry training (IST) group (n=12). Patients with CSCI received AST or IST for 15 minutes, with 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks, and all groups performed basic exercises for 15 minutes. In the AST group, after the subject inhaled the maximal amount of air as best as possible, the therapist insufflated additional air into the patient's lung using an oral nasal mask about 2-3 times. In the IST group, patients were allowed to hold for three seconds at the maximum inspiration and then to breathe. The pre and post-tests measured forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume one at second (FEV1), maximal expiratory pressure (MEP), maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and PCF. Results: Both groups showed significant improvements in FVC, FEV1, MEP, MIP and PCF values after training (p<0.05). The FVC in the post-test and the mean change of FVC, FEV1, MIP were significantly higher in the AST group than the IST group (p<0.05). Conclusions: The findings of this study suggested that AST significantly improved pulmonary function, respiratory strength, and PCF in persons with CSCI. Therefore, AST should be included in respiratory rehabilitation programs to improve coughing ability, pulmonary function and respiratory muscle strength.

목 적 : 폐암환자의 호흡동조 방사선 치료 계획 시 호흡 훈련 전후 RPM 신호와 횡격막 위치 변화를 분석하여 호흡 훈련의 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 2016년 4월부터 8월까지 호흡 동조 방사선 치료를 받는 환자 11명을 대상으로 호흡 훈련을 시행하였고 동시에 RPM 신호 및 횡격막 영상을 획득하였다. 호흡 훈련은 총 3단계로 1단계 자유 호흡 상태의 신호 획득, 2단계 호흡 신호 가이드를 통한 1차 호흡 신호 획득, 3단계 설명과 반복 훈련으로 규칙성과 안정을 유도한 최종 호흡 신호를 획득 하였다. 각 단계의 흡기와 호기시 RPM 신호와 투시 영상의 횡격막 위치의 평균값, 표준편차, 최대값, 최소값을 구하고, 이를 1단계 값으로 표준화 하여 2, 3단계를 상대분포 백분율(%)로 변환하여 환자의 호흡 변화와 내부 움직임을 분석 함으로써 각 환자의 호흡훈련 유용성을 평가 하였다. 결 과 : RPM 신호와 횡격막 진폭을 측정한 뒤, 1단계를 100%으로 표준화하여 각 단계의 평균값과 표준편차의 오차 평균을 구하였다. 그 결과, 3단계 최종호흡 획득 시 진폭의 상대평균 및 표준편차 모두 감소가36.4%, 표준편차만 감소가 18.2%, 진폭만 감소가 36.4%로 나타났으며, 횡격막 영상의 위치 측정 시 3단계에서 전체 81.8%의 환자에게서 상대평균 진폭 값이 30% 감소함을 보였다. 그러나 모든 환자들에게서 2단계 대비 3단계의 RPM 신호와 횡격막 진폭이 각각 평균 52.6%, 42.1% 감소함을 보였다. 또한, RPM 신호와 횡격막 영상 진폭 차이의 연관성은 2번 10번 환자를 제외하고 각각 1, 2, 3단계 움직임의 패턴이 상관관계를 보였다. 결 론 : 호흡 동조 방사선치료에서 호흡 훈련을 시행하였을 때 최적화된 호흡 주기를 유도할 수 있었으며, 모의 호흡 훈련을 치료 전 시행함으로써 불규칙적인 호흡에 의한 환자의 호흡을 제어해 폐의 움직임을 예측 가능 하게 해주는 효과를 기대할 수 있었다. 궁극적으로는 방사선 치료의 체계적 오류를 최소화해 보다 정확한 치료를 기대할 수 있어 호흡 훈련이 유용하다고 할 수 있겠다.그러나 본 연구는 치료 전 호흡 훈련을 시행한 자료를 바탕으로 분석한 연구로 제한되어 있으며 추후 실제 CT 계획과 치료 시 획득한 자료를 가지고 검증하는 것도 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 영상유도 로봇 정위방사선치료장비(Stereotactic Radiation Therapy, SRT) 사이버나이프의 Synchrony 호흡추적장치의 사용에 있어 중요한 요소 중에 하나인 호흡의 안정성을 향상 시키고자 휴대형 호흡연습장치(portable respiratory training device)를 개발하였다. 그래프와 막대 형식의 2가지 디스플레이 중 사용자가 원하는 방식을 선택할 수 있도록 인터페이스를 제작하고, 자신의 호흡주기에 대한 리듬감을 향상 시켜 다음 호흡을 예측할 수 있도록 도와주는 청각시스템을 지원하여 편안한 호흡유도를 제공하였다. 5명의 지원자를 대상으로 자체 프로그램을 통해 검출한 개인고유 호흡주기를 적용하여, '자유호흡(free respiration)'에서 획득한 신호데이터와 시청각시스템을 통해 호흡을 유도하는 '모니터호흡(guide respiration)'의 신호데이터를 획득하고, 호흡주기(period)와 호흡깊이(amplitude)의 편차 평균값을 비교하여 유용성을 평가하였다. 호흡주기의 경우 자유호흡에 비하여 $55.74{\pm}0.14%$로 감소하였고, 호흡깊이의 경우에도 자유호흡의 비해 $28.12{\pm}0.10%$ 감소함으로써 호흡의 규칙성과, 안정성이 향상됨을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 개발한 휴대형 호흡연습장치를 이용한 간암, 폐암 등의 체부정위방사선치료에 있어, 호흡 불안정에 의해 발생되는 치료시간의 지연을 줄이고 치료정확도 향상에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 평가되며, 차후 안드로이드(Android)기반의 휴대용단말기를 대상으로 한 호흡연습 어플리케이션 개발에 적용한다면 사용 편의성과 더불어 경제적 효율까지 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
