The purpose of this study was to compare the immediate effects of upper trapezius muscle stretching in more tensed position (MTP) and less tensed position (LTP) on the change of range of motion (ROM) for neck rotation, and the ROM for conjunct neck motions at end-range of neck rotation toward the painful side in patients with unilateral neck pain. Eighteen patients with unilateral neck pain were recruited for the study's MTP group, and 18 age-, weight- and gender-matched patients with unilateral neck pain were recruited for LTP group. The ROM changes in active neck primary and conjunct motions were measured using a cervical ROM inclinometer in the sitting position. Our results showed that both upper trapezius stretching method in MTP and LTP were significantly effective in increasing the ROM of neck rotation toward painful side in patients with unilateral neck pain. However, a significantly greater increase in the ROM for neck rotation and a further decrease in conjunct neck extension during neck rotation toward the painful side were shown in MTP group, compared to LTP group. The upper trapezius stretching in MTP is useful in increasing the ROM of neck rotation and decreasing the range of conjunct neck extension during neck rotation toward the painful side in patients with unilateral neck pain.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between rotation of the humerus and the shoulder movement in the sagital, coronal, and diagonal planes. Thirty normal subjects(15 male. 15 female)were tested using Cybex NORMTM Testing & Rehabilitation System (CYBEX Division of LUMEX, Inc., Ronkinkoma, New York). The subjects performed active shoulder flexion, abduction and PNF patterns. The range of motion(ROM) of the glenohumeral joint was measured three times. In order to assure the statistical significance of the results. the independent t-test. and a pearson's correlation were applied of the .05 and .01 level of significant. The results of this study were as follow ;1. There were statistically significant differences between shoulder flexion with humerus medial rotation and shoulder flexion with humerus lateral rotation(p <.01). 2. There were statistically significant differences between shoulder abduction with humerus medial rotation and shoulder abduction with humerus lateral rotation(p <.01). 3. There were statistically significant differences between PNF pattern(flex-abd-ext rot) with humerus medial rotation and PNF pattern with humerus lateral rotation(p < .01).For effective rehabilitation of the shoulder, physical therapists must have correct knowledge of shoulder movements. Physical therapists should consider these results when the goal of treatment is to increase ROM of the shoulder.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to compare the kinematic data of the horizontal rotation movements of shoulder, hip, knee during two-handed backhand drive stroke according to two different ball directions. Methods : The kinematic variables were analyzed such as the joint angles of the lower body, horizontal rotation angles of the shoulder, hip, inter-knee segment, body twist angle and difference in angle of forward swing. Two-handed backhand drive stroke was analyzed through a three-dimensional motion analysis. The collected data were analyzed by a paired t-test, and the statistical significant value was set at ${\alpha}=.05$. Results : The findings of this study were as follows; First, there was no difference in the total angles of lower limb joints from the forward swing position to impact posterior. Second, there was no difference in the horizontal rotation angles of E1 shoulder, hip, and E2 shoulder but the horizontal rotation angles of E1 knee, E2 hip, knee, E3, and E4 shoulder, hip, and knee were different in all events. Third, there was no difference in the body twist angle of the maximum horizontal rotation. In addition, there was no difference in the angle of the body twist by the ball direction in the shoulder-hip, the hip-knee and the shoulder-knee. Conclusion : Horizontal rotation angle determines ball directions.

Background: Congenital muscular torticollis results in reduced head mobility, such as cervical rotation, due to the abnormal size and contraction of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Korea Pediatric integrative manual therapy and stretching are recommended to improve head rotation upper cervical spine mobility. Therefore, in this study, the effect of the new PIMT was investigated. Methods: The patient is a 3.5 month-old diagnosed with congenital muscular torticollis (CMT). Due to the limitation of head rotation and cervical spine rotation and flexion mobility, the child visited a rehabilitation center and after diagnosis, Pediatric integrative manual therapy (PIMT) treatment was performed five times a week for a total of 15 weeks. The child's head rotation and flexion limitation and plagiocephaly were evaluated. Results: In conclusion, this study shows that compared to other treatments, PIMT approach is a more effective treatment for improving head rotation and cervical limitation for range of motion in CMT infants. Conclusion: PIMT approach was effective in improving cervical rotation and Head lateral flexion mobility and plagiocephaly in CMT patients.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to provide basic information to create an efficient training program to improve shoulder stability and function in patients with injuries and in patients having undergone surgery of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles, which have a relatively high incidence of injury in shoulder joint disease. Further, independent activities of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles were investigated according to forearm rotation and the neutral and lateral rotation postures. Methods: The activities of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles were measured using surface electromyography in 22 healthy adults in Busan, and isokinetic muscle strength measurement equipment was used to measure muscle strength during shoulder lateral rotation. The subjects performed lateral rotation of the shoulder in three different forearm postures (neutral, supine, prone) to measure shoulder muscle activity and lateral rotation strength. Results: The independent activity ratio (% Isolation) of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles during lateral rotation of the shoulder joint demonstrated a significant difference (p<0.05) according to the change in forearm posture. Conclusion: The supraspinatus muscle showed independent activity ranging from highest to lowest in the order of pronation, neutral, and supination of the forearm, while the independent activity of the infraspinatus muscle ranged from highest to lowest in the order of neutral, supination, and pronation of the forearm. Therefore, the most active forearm positions for the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles are pronation and neutral, respectively.

목적: 소프트렌즈를 얼라인먼트(alignment) 피팅 또는 스팁(steep) 피팅하였을 때 각막에서의 렌즈의 회전 움직임, 순목에 의한 이동거리 및 중심위치가 정상안과 건성안에서 어떠한 차이를 보이는지 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 20~30대 남녀 40안을 정상안군과 건성안군으로 분류한 후 polymacon 재질의 소프트렌즈를 얼라인먼트 피팅 혹은 스팁피팅상태로 착용시키고 렌즈 착용 직후 및 눈물층이 안정화 되었을 때의 회전 움직임, 순목에 의한 이동거리, 중심위치를 비교하였다. 결과: 렌즈의 회전 움직임은 스팁하게 피팅하였을 경우 정상안 군은 얼라인먼트 피팅시와 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 건성안 군에서는 눈물층이 안정화되는 시점에서의 평균 회전 움직임이 정상안 군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 컸다. 정상안 군에서는 피팅에 따른 렌즈 이동거리의 차이가 없었으나 건성안 군에서는 스팁하게 피팅된 경우 렌즈의 이동 거리가 증가하였다. 각막에서의 렌즈 중심 위치는 얼라인먼트 피팅된 렌즈를 착용한 정상안 군의 경우 수직 방향으로의 분포가 더 컸으나 건성안의 경우는 수평 방향으로의 분포가 더 컸다. 또한 건성안에 렌즈를 스팁하게 피팅하였을 때에는 렌즈를 착용한 직후 렌즈의 중심 위치가 수직방향으로도 다소 넓게 분포하였으며 눈물층이 안정화된 후에는 오히려 수평 방향의 분포가 좁아져 눈물층의 안정화에 따라 렌즈의 중심 위치가 변함을 알 수 있었다. 결론: 본 연구를 통하여 건성안에서의 소프트렌즈의 움직임과 중심 위치가 정상안의 경우와 상이하며 특히 스팁 피팅시에는 그 차이가 더 두드러짐을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 건성안에 소프트렌즈를 피팅할 시에는 본 연구를 통하여 확인할 수 있었던 정상안과의 차이를 고려해야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Introduction: This study evaluate the soft tissue changes to the upper lip and nose after Le Fort I maxillary posterosuperior rotational movement. Materials and Methods: Twenty Skeletal class III patients, who had undergone bimaxillary surgery with a maxillary Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy, were included in the study. The surgical plan for maxilla was posterosuperior rotational movement, with the rotation center in the anterior nasal spine (ANS) of maxilla. Soft and hard tissue changes were measured by evaluating the lateral cephalograms obtained prior to surgery and at least 6 months after surgery. For cephalometric analysis, four hard tissue landmarks ANS, posterior nasal spine [PNS], A point, U1 tip), and five soft tissue landmarks (pronasale [Pn], subnasale [Sn], A' Point, upper lip [UL], stomion superius [StmS]) were marked. A paired t test, Pearson's correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were used to evaluate the soft and hard tissue changes and assess the correlation. A P value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: The U1 tip moved $2.52{\pm}1.54$ mm posteriorly in the horizontal plane (P<0.05). Among the soft tissue landmarks, Pn moved $0.97{\pm}1.1$ mm downward (P<0.05), UL moved $1.98{\pm}1.58$ mm posteriorly (P<0.05) and $1.18{\pm}1.85$ mm inferiorly (P<0.05), and StmS moved $1.68{\pm}1.48$ mm posteriorly (P<0.05) and $1.06{\pm}1.29$ mm inferiorly (P<0.05). The ratios of horizontal soft tissue movement to the hard tissue were 1:0.47 for the A point and A' point, and 1:0.74 for the U1 tip and UL. Vertically, the movement ratio between the A point and A' point was 1:0.38, between U1 tip and UL was 1:0.83, and between U1 tip and StmS was 1:0.79. Conclusion: Posterosuperior rotational movement of the maxilla in Le Fort I osteotomy results in posterior and inferior movement of UL. In addition, nasolabial angle was increased. Nasal tip and base of the nose showed a tendency to move downward and showed significant horizontal movement. The soft tissue changes in the upper lip and nasal area are believed to be induced by posterior movement at the UL area.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to compare the ability to control postural sway during perturbation when stroke patients received postural sway induced by head rotation. Methods: This study included 15 stroke patients and 15 healthy adults. Each group was measured by 3D motion analysis for determination of the angle of the neck in static position and by balance performance monitor for estimation of swaying angle in both neutral posture and head rotation position. These results were then analyzed in order to compare the healthy control group and the stroke patients group. Results: In both static posture ($60.7{\pm}4.81$) and dynamic posture ($51.46{\pm}6.87$, $70.8{\pm}6.55$), significant decreases were observed in the angle of head rotation of the patient group, compared to the healthy group (p<0.05), and significant decreases were observed in the sway angle of the patient group when in the neutral position ($3.62{\pm}7$, $24{\pm}0.60$) and head rotation ($3.04{\pm}0.80$, $51.46{\pm}6.87$), compared to the healthy group (p<0.05). Conclusion: According to these findings, patients with stroke tend to restrict the ROM of head rotation and swaying angle in dynamic posture and maintain their posture instability using limitation of head movement relative to the trunk and sway angle of area which is larger than that of affected side in unaffected side.
