This study was conducted to investigate the influence that it has on the application pre and post balance index using method with spiral and reaction point balance taping application against 20 stroke patients. The taping application pre and post static eye opening balance index was statistically no significant difference in the Mean X Speed, and the Extent in X Dirction but in the Mean Y Speed, the Velocity Moment, and Extent in Y Direction, there were statistically significant difference(p<0.05). The taping application pre and post static eye closing balance inde was statistically no significant difference in the Mean X Speed, in Y Direction, there were statistically significant difference(p<0.05). From above results, the method of the applied taping was the equilibrium stability performance of the Y-axis than the stability of the balance of the X-axis, therefore it is considered to study the taping application method in the balance of detail stroke patients.

Purpose: This study was to figure out the effect of sacroiliac joints taping therapy on low back pain. Methods: 35 patients who visited to receive the treatments of the physical therapy in H orthopedic clinic in Kyoung-buk had been treated with spiral balance taping for 4weeks from 3 to 29, July 2006. They were divided 3 groups: acute, subacute, chronic. VAS(Visual Analogue Sacle) was analyzed for pain scale, and compared between the pre and post test among groups. Results: The acute patients' degree of the pain post therapy was decreased, the subacute patients' degree of the pain post therapy was decreased and the chronic patients' degree of the pain post therapy was decreased. There were statistically remarkable differences(p<0.05) in 3 groups. Conclusion: This results suggest that sacroiliac joints taping therapy to correct leg length inequality was effective on low back pain.

Purpose: This study was to investigate the short-term effects of spiral taping (ST) on performance on the star excursion balance test (SEBT) in individuals with unilateral chronic ankle instability (CAI). Methods: This study was single-group pre - post measures experimental design. The subjects with CAI were 39 (range, 20-31 years; male 16, females 23) were enrolled in the study. The discomfort had in unilateral ankle and Cumberland ankle instability score was 19.56 (${\pm}3.29$). Spiral tape (a width of 3 mm) was applied $3{\times}4$ cross shape on medial malleolus, lateral malleolus and dorsal of talocural joint of unstable ankle. SEBT was measured baseline and 30 min later in stable ankle and unstable ankle. Results: SEBT showed significantly improved after applying the ST (p<0.05, ES=0.74) on unstable ankle. In comparison the difference of stable and unstable ankle, between the pretest and posttest were significant differences (p<0.01, ES=1.88). Conclusion: These results indicated that ST improves performance on the SEBT. Therefore, it suggests that ST may be a suitable intervention to dynamic balance in patients with CAI.

Purpose : Cancer survivors often suffer from postoperative sequelae. the diagnosing and provision of manual therapy using spiral taping significantly improves the quality of life of cancer patients. The aim of this case study is to investigate the immediate effects of spiral taping on pain, range of motion (ROM), chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), and lymphedema following breast cancer surgery. Methods : The taping techniques were performed as follows by spiral taping. The measurements were taken before, in the middle, and after taping using a mobile phone camera, tape measure, and a numerical rating score (NRS). The evaluation employed a single-group pre-post design based on a primitive experimental design. Results : Out of four patients, all four exhibited Reverse circle flow energy (RCFE), Passive cervical right (Rt) rotation test, anterior-posterior movement pattern, nerve type (+), cold energy (CE), sangcho acupuncture point, blood clot, hwal point. Comparing before and after treatment, almost all values were reduced to zero after treatment in terms of pain complaints. The lack of range of motion (ROM) caused by the shortened tissue after surgery did not increase. The range of motion (ROM) lost due to pain returned to normal. The circumference of lymphedema did not show a tendency. The symptoms of CIPN improved. Conclusion : There was a significant change in joint range of motion, with pain decreasing, but there were structural limitations in the tissue due to total resection, and the chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy scale. It was effectively treated surgical site pain, axillary membrane syndrome-induced pain, and unexplained pain. While there was a treatment effect for lymphedema in the evaluation of circumference values, there was no significant change in circumference. There was a significant effect on chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, particularly in treating numbness in the feet, which is a side effect of TC anticancer drugs. This case study found that spiral balance taping provides a rapid therapeutic effect for most side effects in patients who have undergone total breast cancer resection. However, the generalization is limited due to the small sample size, and further research is needed to determine the extent to which the effects of one treatment are maintained.

Objectives : This study is to applied effectively to the acupuncture treatment for disorders following whiplash injuries. Methods : This study suggests five various ways and principtes of treating disorders following whiplash injuries by means of acupuncture. First principle is that acupuncture treatment is carried out on acupoint far from cervical spine at acute stage, on the other hand, Extraordinary Vessel and other acupuncture treatment such as five element acupuncture treatment is applied at chronic stage in order to control balance disoders due to cervical pathology. Second is acupuncture treatment will be performed in group of three part of Meridian System-Yangmyung, Taeyang, Soyang-according to cervical kinetic, its characteristic and location of pain. Third is acupuncture treatment could be performed on basis of theory of Eohyel-disorders and disturbance of blood circulation. Fourth is to decrease tension of SCM muscle, because disorders following whiplash injuries has much association to injury of CM muscle and is simillar to tension syndroms of SCM muscle. fifth is taping therapy could control and decrease disorders following whiplash injuries based on spiral balance taping theory. Conclusions : These results suggest that acupuncture treatment for disorders following whiplash injuries will significally decrease pain and control syndrom caused by cervical disorder.

This study was executed in order utilized five typical taping therapy spending on upper limb end part, and to grasp an influence on shoulder pain of upper limb part among spiral balance taping therapy of Danaca. This study was performed at Physical therapy Dept. of Gyeongbuk H orthopedics until 2005 November 4 from 2005 October 4th. This study appealed for a shoulder pain, and visited all 25(15 Non capsular lesions, 10 capsular lesions) patients to the objects. We executed study to the objects to a patient to agree with us after explaining a purpose and object of this study. Urged warning, and all executed eight times over about the patient who executed taping therapy for five weeks so as not to be able to get other therapy treatment. Application way of taping therapy applied all once at random generally five taping therapy to apply to limbs end of upper at clinical so far. Operated on the results about pain decrease, and we calculated as compared before and after five taping therapy. Also, operated again on them in a taping therapy judged that there was pain decrease, and we returned them to home. We make a comparative analysis for a pain after and before a treatment as we use the VAS which is evaluation of a pain in this study. The results of this study are as follows. Appeared so as operated, and a pain decrease change of Non capsular lesions became lower with a the average of 2.3 after a taping therapy in the average of 6.4s former a treatment, and to note statistically later Taping therapy of upper limb end part.(P<0.01). The pain decrease change of capsular lesions of a shoulder joint pain index decreased with the average of 4.0 after a taping therapy treatment in the average of 6.0 former a treatment after Taping therapy of upper limb end part, but were not able to note statistically.(P>0.05) Taping therapy of upper limb end part is positive to pain decrease of shoulder joint in the above-mentioned study can affect, and can especially get the effective conclusion that was able to affect from pain decrease of Non capsular lesions.
