This paper is to show the history and the brief present situation, the further vision and the considerations of Vojta physical therapy. Since Vojta therapy has been introduced into Korea in 1980, the workshop had the total 7 times and has produced 76 Vojta physical therapist during the past 15 year. But Vojta thrapist members have a gradually declining tendency in the present state. The counterplans for the considerations as follows; 1) Physician and Vojta therapist must be concerned about the growth of Vojta diagnosis and therapy. 2) As the medical examination and treatment system's establishment, an early infant's tretment will be performed. 3) The course of workshop in Korea must be admitted to be a regular qualification by the Vojta center of Germany. 4) Cerebral palsy treatment need home care system by Vojta therapist. 5) Vojta therapist has to reside in a public health center.

Purpose: This study examined the effects of Vojta therapy on the respiratory function in young male smokers. Methods: Three subjects were tested using the ABA design for Single-subject Experimental Research Design. This study was conducted with the baseline, intervention, and follow-up phase. Intervention was conducted three to four times a week for 20 minutes per times and a total of 25 sessions. The respiratory function was measured using a Spirometer. Results: The results of Forced Vital Capacity and Forced Expiratory Volume at one second for all subjects showed improvements in the intervention phase over the baseline phase. In the follow-up phase, the improved ability was still maintained or slightly reduced. Conclusion: Vojta therapy used on young male smokers was effective in both FVC and FEV1. In other words, the Vojta therapy worked effectively in improving the respiratory function. In future studies, it is necessary to have a control group and increase the number of trials in order to generalize the effect of Vojta therapy.

This study was applied using vojta therapy in the patient with hydrocephalus occurred by on traumatic brain injury. Vojta treatment was a recently developed of the brain damage patient treatment which can be applied eariler than the other traditional methods. The results were as follows. 1. Hip joint flexion contracture from $100^{\circ}$ to $15^{\circ}$ was improved on prone position. 2. Left convexity curve on thracolumbar region due to functional scoliosis the normal aligment. 3. The thumb finger was changed from thumb-in to thumb-out. 4. Right tilted pelvis on prone position became the normal symmetry

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Vojta therapy on Gross Motor Function Measurement(GMFM) and Selective Voluntary Motor Control (SVMC) in children with Spastic diplegia. Methods : During this experiment, the subject of four children diagnosed with spastic diplegia was tested using ABA design for Single-subject Experimental Research Design. The procedure consisted of baseline, intervention and follow-up phase which was held thirty minutes each for three times a week for a total of 24 times. Gross motor function was measured using GMFM and selective voluntary motor control was measured using SCALE. Results : According to this study, the gross motor function and selective voluntary motor control of all subjects were improved from their intervention phase to their baseline phase. During the follow phase which the intervention was removed, the ability that was enhanced during the prior phases was still either maintained or only reduced slightly. Conclusion : The Vojta therapy used on children diagnosed with spastic diplegia was effective on both GMFM and SVMC. In other words, the therapy was effective on coordination. However, this study is difficult to be generalized due to the insufficient number of subject. In further studies, it will be necessary to increase the number of trials with a control group in order to generalize the effectiveness of Vojta therapy.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to know the effect of acupuncture on brachial plexus palsy due to birth injury. Methods We decided to treat one week of Vojta therapy and occupational therapy, but other were combined, and then add three weeks of acupuncture treatment as well. Results Right clavicle fracture at birth brachial plexus injury due to decreased locomotion of the right upper extremity, muscle weakness in children aged 7 months to Vojta therapy, occupational therapy and acupuncture, when performed in conjunction mobility increase of the shoulder joint, elbow support improvement, recovery of motor function of the hand grip, etc. to obtain a significant motor function recovery improvement. Conclusion Acupuncture was a good treatment of choice for the better shoulder, joint and hands movements.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of Respiratory Capacity by Vojta's treatment in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Method : The subjects of this study, children diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy, 12 patients were picked up, who were agreed with this research and were having hospital care for 4weeks at MH and PR medical centers. Result : In comparison of Respiratory muscle activity and Phonation capacity were significant in the group(p<.01) and MPT and Rectus abd(Rt) were significantly correlated in the pre test and SMR and Ex/oblique (Lt) were significantly correlated in the post test. Conclusion : Therefore, the Vojta's treatment is useful to improve the Respiratory muscle activity and Phonation capacity in children with spastic cerebral palsy.

본 연구는 연구를 충분히 수행할 만한 근력과 관절 가동범위를 가진 건강한 정상성인 10명과 정상아동 10명을 대상으로 보이타의 반사적 뒤집기(reflex turning) 치료를 실시하여 정상성인과 아동에게 가슴유발점 적용 시 배곧은 근, 배속빗근, 배바깥빗근에 대한 근활성도의 차이를 알아보았다. 정상성인과 아동에게 보이타의 가슴유발점 자극 시의 오른쪽과 왼쪽 배곧은근, 배속빗근, 배바깥빗근의 근활성도 비교는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>.05). 본 연구는 앞으로의 연구들에 대해 초석을 다진 기초자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 보이며, 추후 관련 연구에 보탬이 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

We must diagnose and treat as early as possible to the children that have been danger factor and have delayed development, therefore, we shall decrease to disability, shall able to ADL and shall have could live to normal living. Since the children are most fast grow to development during 1 year after birth, the soft sign of cerebral palsy is transverse to the hard sign.

The age of specialization is upon physical therapy, as evidenced by the many special interest group. One of the special interest is manual therapy, which is the study of neurology, biomechanic, behavior science and pathology as well as the application of evaluative and treatment techniques of the neuromusculoskeletal system. Trend of manual therapy cover the whole medical in Europe. but America has two categories which is the neurologic manual therapy and the orthopedic manual therapy. The neurologic manual therapy was integrated with theory of PNF, Bobath technique, Vojta which is neurophysiologic approach concept. It is called motor control. A key aspect of the motor control requires a through knowledge of neurobiologic, biomechanic, and behavioral science. The orthopedic manual therapy runs to the evaluation and treatment of joints and their surrounding structures increase or decrease mobility and Fain control. In this article has to define and clarify the basic concepts of orthopedic manual therapy by comparing the general concepts, evaluation schemes, and treatment procedures of John McM Mennell, James Cyriax, Geoffrey Maitland, Freddy Kaltenborn and Ola Grimsby.
