  • Background: The purpose of this study is to compare axis change during cervical flexion and extension according to lordosis angle to patients with scoliosis. Methods: Movement axis change was estimated during cervical flexion and extension in twenty-four scoliosis patients with hypolordosis using radiography. Subjects were divided into mild lordotic curve group (MLCG, n=12, $34{\sim}25^{\circ}$) and severe lordotic curve group (SLCG, n=12, less $25^{\circ}$) according to cervical lordosis angle. Results: During cervical flexion, both group showed movement axis change to upper part of cervical vertebra and SLCG showed greater than MLCG but there is no significant difference. During cervical extension, SLCG showed greater than MLCG and there is significant difference. Conclusion: It is considered that cervical hypolordosis acts as important factor to scoliosis and degenerative joint disease because it leads to change of movement axis and central route of joint.

  • Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report two cases of adolescent patient with structural spinal scoliosis treated by Chuna therapy. Methods: We examined two adolescent patients with an X-ray examination. These patients were diagnosed with structural scoliosis, and we used acupuncture and Chuna method at these patients. Cobb's angle and VAS(Visual Analogue Scale) were used to evaluate effects of the treatment. Results and Conclusions: After the treatment, we got these improvement results : In one case, the Cobb's angle was improved by $8.4^{\circ}$ ($19^{\circ}$ to $10.6^{\circ}$) at thoracic level (44.2% correctability) and VAS has been changed from 5 to 1-2. In another case, the Cobb's angle was improved by $4.3^{\circ}$($11.3^{\circ}$ to $7^{\circ}$) at lumbar level(38.0% correctability) and VAS has been changed from 7 to 1-2.

  • Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the disc block subluxation for lumbar scoliosis and herniation of nucleus pulpous (HNP). Methods: We used AP & Lateral view X-ray for patients. And we measured of disc wedge angle, vertebral body rotation to evaluate the typical and atypical disc block subluxation. Results: On the analysis of the lateral view X-ray, 4th lumbar intervertebral disc angle (I.V.D angle) showed $4^{\circ}$, $5^{\circ}$, $3^{\circ}$, $0^{\circ}$ in the cases. On the 4th lumbar analysis of the AP view X-ray, lumbar scoliosis showed right disc wedge angle was $11^{\circ}$ (case 1), $17^{\circ}$ (case 2) and left vertebral body rotation was 13mm, 6mm. Lumbar HNP showed left disc wedge angle was $5^{\circ}$ (case 3), $4^{\circ}$ (case 4) and left vertebral body rotation was 2mm, 4mm. Conclusions: Disc block subluxation has been in lumbar scoliosis, but not been in lumbar HNP.

  • In this study, The degree of scoliosis, an algorithm that can automatically detect was developed. Developed system was used for X-ray imaging source. The formula for the degree of curvature of the spine of the S <0, and, L> 0 is satisfied with the condition $Y=SX^2+L$ is a function expression. X-axis length can be changed and applied equally in all spline function graph, and the slope is $S=-L/92^2$. The graph on the degree of scoliosis of the differential equation Y'= 2SX could see that the extracted spine wire for the classification and the classification of scoliosis, the degree is determined as the available algorithms.

  • Objectives : Hyun-Ga therapy, a creative method that involves meridian pathways for isometric exercise, has displayed the possibility of treating and alleviating idiopathic scoliosis in terms of theory. The researcher explored current research trends and introduced Hyun-Ga therapy in which meridian pathways theory is applied. Methods : We examined theses and books of oriental or western medicine that cover idiopathic scoliosis. By doing these, we looked into the role of Hyun-Ga therapy towards the prevention and treatment of idiopathic scoliosis, and gained the following results. Results and Conclusions : Hyun-Ga therapy, the manual technique that has introduced the concept of silence and movement into rectifying the body through isometric exercise on meridian pathways in the limbs, can be practiced more easily than other conventional manual techniques. Hyun-Ga therapy based on meridian pathways theory is highly evaluated for its clinical insight on the structural and functional roles of meridian pathways. The theory of Hyun-Ga therapy, however, needs to be supported by more objective and sufficient complementary data. For this, continuing research and analysis are required in the future.

  • Scoliosis is a 3-dimensional spinal deformity defined as lateral curvature of the spine in the coronal plane of more than $10^{\circ}$. This study describes a case of functional scoliosis after hip injury. In this case, the patient fell whilst inline skating (June 2015) causing severe tilting of her spine, and left hip pain. She received outpatient treatment from July 14, 2015 to December 28, 2015. For approximately 5 months, acupuncture therapy was performed to relax the tension in both hips, Chuna therapy, and foot orthosis were applied to reduce the body's imbalance. Based on X-ray images, the Cobb angle had decreased from $14.73^{\circ}$ (pretreatment) to $1.90^{\circ}$ (posttreatment). This case report suggested that Korean medicine treatment could be an effective therapeutic choice for functional scoliosis.

  • Purpose: This study examined the effects of the fascial distortion model (FDM) method on Cobb's angle. Methods: Fourteen subjects participated in this study. The idiopathic scoliosis group performed FDM treatments eight times in four weeks. A Shapiro-Wilks test was used to verify the normality of a group of idiopathic scoliosis patients. A paired t-test was performed to determine the satisfaction with the normality. Results: The difference in Cobb's angle was reduced significantly (p<0.05) by an average of $5.72^{\circ}{\pm}2.24$ from $15.51^{\circ}{\pm}1.81$ before the experiment. Conclusion: This study found that the use of the FDM method was effective in improving the Cobb's angle. The application of a FDM treatment appears to stabilize the fascia with decreased ability to adapt physiologically. The application of the CD and TB method of FDM treatment improved the asymmetry spine by dispersing moisture in fascia and improving the contraction and relaxation ability. The results suggest that the Cobb's angle is reduced when FDM is applied, thereby preventing the progression of curvature and avoiding psychological and physical problems that can arise from improving patients with scoliosis.
