The purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of passive caudal gliding mobilization of the glenohumeral joint on the range of motion (ROM) of active and passive abduction; to evaluate the value of pain relief through visual analogue scale (VAS); to evaluate the correlation between improvement of shoulder abduction and intra-articular movement measured by fluoroscopy in frozen shoulder patients. The subjects consisted of twenty-one patients with clinically diagnosed frozen shoulder (11 males, 10 females) between 40 and 63 years of age (mean age : 52.7 years). The traction and caudal gliding mobilization based on the convex-concave rule in the resting position and at end range of abduction was peformed for 15 minutes per day and was repeated 10 times during a 2 week period. The ROM of abduction was measured by goniometer and pain was measured by VAS. The intra-articular movement was measured by fluoroscope, Neurostar Plus TOP (Siemens, Germany). ROM measurements of each patient was acquired at pre-treatment, immediate post-treatment and 2 week post-treatment. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 10.0 for Windows software and data was analyzed using the paired-test and the pearson correlation. The results of this study are as follows: 1. There was a significant decrease of VAS between pre-treatment data and 2 week post-treatment data (P<.05) but no significant difference between pre-treatment and immediate post-treatment data (P>.05). 2. There was a significant increase in ROM of active and passive abduction in the pre-treatment data, immediate post-treatment data, and in 2 week post-treatment data (P<.05). 3. With regard to results of the joint play test, there was a significant difference in the grade of traction between pre-treatment data and immediate post-treatment data and between pre-treatment data and 2 week post-treatment data (P<.05). There was no significant difference between immediate post-treatment data and 2 week post-treatment data (P>.05). 4. With regard to results of the joint play test, there was a significant difference in the grade of caudal gliding between pre-treatment data and immediate post-treatment data and between pre-treatment data and 2 week post-treatment data (P<.05). There was no significant difference between immediate post-treatment data and 2 week post-treatment data (P>.05), 5. With regard to the results of fluoroscopic findings, there was a significant change of the glenohumeral joint space between pre-treatment data and immediate post-treatment data and between immediate post-treatment data and 2 week post-treatment data (P<.05). There was no significant change of the glenohumeral joint space between immediate post-treatment data and 2 week post-treatment data (P>.05). 6. With regard to the results of fluoroscopic findings, there was a significant change of acromiohumeral joint space between the three data (pre-treatment data, immediate post-treatment data, 2 week post-treatment data) (P<.05). 7. Mobility grade by joint play test was significantly increased and was correlated to improved ROM of active and passive abduction (P<.05). In this study of frozen shoulder, passive caudal gliding techniques of the glenohumeral joint results in statistically significant changes in active and passive abduction as well as in VAS. There is also a significant correlation between joint play test and ROM of abduction.

Purpose: Cervical pain is caused mainly by a static position, lasting work, bad habits and stress, and is accompanied by pain in the upper trapezius. Traditionally, heat and traction, exercise, mobilization, manipulation have been used to treat cervical pain. This study examined the effect of stretching and manipulation (high-velocity low-amplitude: HVLA) on the pain and ROM in women with chronic cervical and upper shoulder pain. Methods: Fifty-two women diagnosed with chronic cervical and upper shoulder pain were enrolled in this study. Among them, 26 patients (experiment group) were managed by passive stretching and manipulation, and another 26 patients (control group) were treated with physical therapy intervention (hat pack: HP, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation: TENS, ultra sound: US). Each group made use of a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the highly reliable (flextion: 0.92, extention: 0.99) cervical range of motion (CROM) to compare the possible changes in pain and ROM in the two groups after treatment. Results: In the experimental group, the pain decreased and the ROM has increased in all directions. In the control group, the pain decreased but the ROM was not changed in all directions. Conclusion: According to the results, passive stretching and manipulation is effective for increasing the ROM and decreasing the level of pain. Moreover, physical therapy intervention (HP, TENS, US) is effective for immediately decreasing the pain but has little effect on the ROM.

목적: 저자들은 견갑하 건 단독 파열에 대한 쇄골하 삽입구를 이용함으로써 봉합나사못을 보다 적절한 각도로 삽입하고 충분한 작업공간을 확보하여 봉합갈고리를 이용한 건 봉합을 용이하게 할 수 있었다. 대상 및 방법: 기존의 방법은 일반적으로 전방 및 전외측 삽입구를 이용하여 견갑하 건의 견인과 부착부 족문 (footprint)의 변연절제술을 시행한 후 봉합나사못을 삽입하여 복원술을 시행하고 있으며, 저자들은 삽입관을 따로 위치시키지 않고 쇄골하 삽입구를 이용하여 피하 (subcutaneous)로 봉합나사못 삽입과 봉합고리를 이용한 봉합사 통과작업을 시행하고, 전방 삽입구에만 삽입관을 위치시켜 봉합사를 결찰하여 견갑하 건 복원술을 시행하였다. 결과 및 결론: 이 술식은 간단하며 견갑하 건의 부분 파열이나 퇴축이 많이 되지 않은 전 파열에 용이하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Objects : This study was to report a clinical effect of Chuna Treatment for a patient diagnosed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) as Cervical Myelopathy. Methods: In order to alleviate shoulder pain and neck stiffness, the patient was treated by acupuncture therapy, herbal medicine, phamacopucture, cervical traction technique of Chuna treatment and conservative managements. To evaluate the effect of the treatment, Recovery rate of Hirabayashi, VAS(Visual Anlaogue Scale), NDI and ROM(Range of Motion) were used. Lhermitte's sign, Valsalva test, Distraction test, Compression test and Spurling test were carried out. Results: VAS, NDI and ROM were improved and Recovery rate was 100%. Conclusions: Korean Treatment can be effectively used for a patient with Cervical Myelopathy. Further clinical studies are needed to verify the findings.

경부 신경근병이 의심되는 31예의 환자에 경막외강 스테로이드 주입으로 치료하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 총 31예중 10예에서는 1회만을 주입하였다. 2) 최소한 1주일 간격으로 2회이상 주입한 21예중 15예에서 증상의 호전을 보였고 6예에서는 효과가 없었다. 3) 총 88회 주업중 2회의 지주막 천자외에는 합병증이 없었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 cervical radiculopathy가 의심되는 환자는 수술적 치료를 적용하기 전에 다른 종류의 대중적 치료와 더불어 경막외 스테로이드률 주입하는 것이 안전하고 효과적인 것으로 사료된다.

Cervical radicular pain has been recognized as a common cause of neck, shoulder and arm pain. The initial recommended therapy is based on the medical treatment by anti-inflammatory, analgesic agents, rest, traction and physical therapy. In the case of failure with these therapies, the classical alternative is a surgical discectomy, but this is associated with numerous risks inherent to invasive procedures. As a result, a number of percutaneous intradiscal therapies have developed over the last 3 decades, which have specifically focused on the pathology of the disc. However, these treatments have considerable limitations and success rates, and none allow for the extraction of a quantifiable amount of nucleus pulposus via a 17 gauge introducer using fluoroscopic guidance alone. Herein, we describe our experience using a $Dekompressor^{(R)}$ on a 52 year-old female patient with a cervical disc herniation. Percutaneous decompression in the treatment of cervical disc herniation was successfully performed, with a good outcome.

목적: 회전근 개 파열에서의 전외측 도달법을 이용한 소절개 봉합술을 소개하고자 한다. 수술 술기: 전신 마취하에 측와위 자세를 취한 후 후방 삽입구, 전방 삽입구를 이용하여 관절내 병변의 유무를 확인하고, 관절경을 견봉하 공간에 위치시킨 후 외측 삽입구를 이용하여 회전근 개의 파열 형태 및 크기를 파악한 후 관절경하견봉 성형술을 시행한다. 견봉의 전외측 연에서 하방으로 3~4 cm의 피부 절개를 가한 후 전방 및 중간 삼각근의 봉합선을 따라 박리하고 삼각근 견인기를 이용하여 시야를 확보한다. 파열된 건에 견인 봉합을 시행하여 해부학적 복원을 위한 위치를 확인한 후 봉합 나사를 이용하여 일열 혹은 이열 봉합술을 시행한다. 봉합술 후 견봉에서 삼각근이 견열되는 것을 방지하기 위해 1번 흡수봉합사를 이용하여 견봉과 삼각근과의 추가적인 봉합을 시행한다. 결론: 본 술기는 회전근 개의 가장 흔한 파열 부위인 극상건의 전방부에 직접 도달이 가능하고, 전방 및 중간 삼각근 사이로 접근하기 때문에 삽입구 연장 도달법에 비해 비교적 적은 견인으로도 시야를 확보할 수 있으며 전방으로는 견갑하건의 상부와 후방으로는 극하건까지 도달할 수 있는 유용한 술식으로 생각된다.
