본 연구는 하체 경락 수기요법이 비만 여성들의 신체구성과 혈중지질의 변화에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 시행되었다. 비만 여성 30명이 실험에 참여하였으며, 하체 경락수기요법군 15명과 반신욕 병행 하체 경락수기요법군 15명을 대상으로 5주간 주2회로 처치하였다. 신체조성의 변화에서 두 집단 모두 BMI, 체지방률, 복부지방률이 감소하였고, 혈중지질의 변화에서도 TC, LDL-C, TG는 감소하였다. HDL-C는 경락수기요법군 0.98%, 반신욕 병행 경락 수기요법군은 1.12%가 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 하체 경락 수기요법의 5주 처치는 중년 비만 여성들의 신체 구성과 혈중 지질이 감소하여 에스테틱 분야에서의 하체 비만관리 프로그램으로 권장할 수 있으리라 사료된다.

Objectives : This study was purposed to investigate the possibility of traction therapy as treatment method of scoliosis, of which occurrence rate was increasing with teenagers in Korea. Methods : 63 literatures, history, classification, and effectiveness of traction therapy were reviewed and the occurrences rate of scoliosis with teenagers in Korea was investigated. Results : Traction therapy as a treatment method on scoliosis, was originally developed by Hippocrates(460~385 BC), based on the historical record. Traction therapy is classified according to the tools engaged, the postures, the traction methods, and the areas for traction. The opinions on the effect of traction as treatment method were different depending on whether it is in Korea or outside of the country. Within the country, 75% of reports were positive on the effects of traction therapy, while outside of the country, about 74% of reports were negative. On the other hand, the occurrence rates of scoliosis with teenagers in Korea were increasing from 1.46%(1977) to 11.08%(2008). Conclusions : Unfortunately the effects of traction therapy on scoliosis were unclear but it seems to be different in the effects of manipulative therapy and mechanical or apparatus traction therapy. Systematic studies on traction therapy are needed, because of the increasing rate of scoliosis in Korea with teenagers.
