Background : Lymphedema is a progressive disorder characterized by the impairment of lymph flow from tissues to the blood circulation system. This occurs as a result of damage to the lymphatic system. Complex decongestive therapy (CDT) is a multimodal, conservative therapeutic approach that is used for the management of lymphedema. CDT consists of a combination of compression therapy, manual lymphatic drainage, exercise, and skin care. Purpose : This study aimed to provide a review of available physical therapy interventions as well as general care guidelines for patients with lymphedema. Methods : The recommendations and guidelines for physical therapy management, medical management, and general information were reviewed from the following sources: 1) The American Physical Therapy Association, 2) The Norton School of Lymphatic Therapy, and 3) The International Society of Lymphology. This review contains general information, including the medical management and the importance of physical therapy in lymphedema. Physical therapy management should be based on an assessment of the patients' presenting impairments, including based on inclusion or exclusion of physical therapy interventions. This review also outlines a step-by-step approach that starts with disease diagnosis and progression all the way through to rehabilitation as an outpatient. Conclusion : Depending on the patients' journey to recovery and the requirement for rehabilitation, physical therapy interventions should focus on the patients' needs including pain, appearance, physical function and general rehabilitation. We hope that this review will provide information on evidence-based physical therapy and general care to patients with lymphedema.

The purpose of this Review is to help activities of daily living by normalizing bodily functions through the use of negative pressure. Cupping therapy has been holding the important role as a form of treatment in ancient medicine of Oriental and Occidental country, and still being used widely due to it's effectiveness. Principle of Cupping therapy is to neutralize somatic dysfunctions by elimination of nonphysiological somatic fluid of hematoma through application of negative pressure on region of dermatomal meridian. The effectiveness of Cupping therapy as follows; 1) Effects on acid base balance of bodily fluid. 2) Through the reabsorption of subcutaneous hematoma, it affects on formation of immune system and produce the blood serum cleaning reaction. 3) By application of negative pressure on subcutaneous, induce renal system to produce steroid hormone. 4) By stimulating hemopoietic system, it maxmize the blood production level. Recently, Alternative medicine has been a focus due to it's nature of effectiveness and safety without adverse complication. Therefore, every family possess and use the cupping modality for preventive measure and/or treatment purpose in order to eliminate accumulated byproducts of body and clean the blood system.

The purpose of this study is to find application of combination of insotonic(CI) in clinical approach. This is a literature study with books and clinical experience. CI was developed after Margaret Knott that is very useful in clinically. CI has two lever system. It has class II lever system for eccentric contraction and class III lever system for concentric contraction. Therefore it make two different contraction that is not only magnitude of motion and speed increase of motion but also biomechanical advantage. Application of CI has much variety by patient position and treatment position. Especially, it is very effectable on mat activities and training for mid stance period. CI apply in supine position on treatment table, mat or high mat activities, bridging activities, all fourth activities and sit on chair activities. CI apply serially with different techniques. These are rhythmic initiation, dynamic reversal, approximation, rhythmic stabilization and replication.

The Quality of physical therapy school system has conflicts between physical therpist, and reduces the opportunity of seguential education. So this study was investigated in order to made concrete the problems of educational duality, set up the direction of the school system's improvement, as like the four-year system and recognized the necessity. The curriculums of 13 colleges and 5 universities was analyzed. The curriculum analysis was made up the comparison and the analysis by a liberal arts point, a major point, a clinical practice point, total opening subjects, and so on. The analyzing results were as follows. 1. The average rates of a liberal arts vs. a major opening point are 17:83 in college, and are 27:73 in university. 2. It is a serious problem that college are lower than university in a liberal arts. The best method that can solve it is lengthen the number of school years. 3. There is no difference between college and university in a major subject. Rather college has the more subject's numbers than university. 4. There is no difference between college and university in a clinical practice. Above results suggests that there is not different between college and university in a major subject except for a liberal arts point. It is proper that one should be unificate the curriculum according to the sameness between a state examination and a license. Therefore, it is necessary for graduates from college that provides the opportunity of proceeding to a higher school, demands the seguential system of study cultivating and producing a bachelor, and requires the continual education in a clinical field, a bachelor admitting system of continual education, and clinical therapist's qualification. The present physical therapy educational systems should be unificated because of many right reasons. On the other hand, the follw-up study that improving the school system about the four-years and the more physical therapy should be continue from the viewpoint of education.

Adaptive lengthening or shortening of the nervous system is essential in order for a part of the body to move without restriction or resistance. Up until now, most treatment concepts have focused on normalizing muscle tone and preventing contractures in muscles and joint, but, as Butler and Gifford have brought to the attention of therapists, when a part of the body moves, nerves are required to move as well, so that the integration of nervous system mobilization in treatment is equally important. As the main function of the nervous system is impulse conduction, it is obvious therefore that adaptive lengthening, both centrally and peripherally, is essential in order to accommodate the enormous variety and extent of body movements and postures used in everyday life impeding news conduction. In present day manual therapy, most physical therapist mobilize the nervous system inadvertently. Probably what may make it more difficult is that, for most physical therapist it is a relatively new tissue to contemplate, at least in biomechanical terms, and basic knowledge of structure is generally less than if joints and muscles. The purpose of this study was to introduce the nervous system mobilization to a physical therapist who is primary a clinician and who has concerned in the areas of biomechanics and pathology looking far answers to the clinical Problems.

Appropriate physical position and balance means giving the least stress and the most useful biomechanically to the body. As this fails, one would have functional recovery problem regardless of disability. There reported better effective on Dynamic training rather than Static training for a proper recovery of physical position, and additionally required Sensory Feedback. Those who have disability of balance, especially Central Nervous System lesion should he provided with variety of Sensory Feedback, and also Dynamic Balance training used by is quite effective.

Most of physical therapists has thought be exposed themselves to risk of hospital infection but it is reported that have been low concern about infection management. Above like this haven t done systematical education on hospital infection, also physical therapist's information management of infection disease is found very low. It is lack of driving information about disease condition of the patients. Physical therapists has thought their working room may be polluted a lots of micro-organism(%). The control situation of infection waste articles, only 53% responded that the controller has managed very intensive so we can feel to need more intensive It's reported that air culture investigation of physical therapy room has never initiated. To wash the hand, before, after treatment of the patients of physical therapist, is very low frequency. And 73% have responded that the time to wash the hand stays 15-45 second. It is examined that 70% physical therapy room is equipped with washing system, a response of 58% disinfects physical therapy room 1-2times per one month. 36% responded disinfection of treatment modality have done everyday, 25% responded have never done. The location physical therapy room is above one floor - 65%. A response of 57% is ventilation system sufficiency, it is considered that physical therapists needs more efforts on management of hospital infection.
