Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the effect of Korean medicine treatment combined with active release technique on supraspinatus tendon partial tear. Methods : Two patients with supraspinatus tendon partial tear were treated by Korean medicine treatment in combination with active release technique. Visual analog scale(VAS), range of motion(ROM) were used to measure changes during treatment. Results : After treatment, shoulder pain and limited range of motion were improved significantly. Conclusions : Korean medicine treatment in combination with active release technique is proved to be helpful to improve the symptoms of the supraspinatus tendon partial tear patients. And, further studies will be needed.

상기 증례에서 저자는 극상근건 부분 파열 환자에게 한방치료 및 ART 치료를 적용하여 견관절 ROM, VAS 평가를 통해 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 극상근건 부분 파열로 견통 및 견관절 ROM 제한 발생한 환자에게 한방치료 및 ART 치료를 적용하여 견관절 ROM, VAS에서 현저한 개선 보인 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 2. 비교적 증례가 많지 않고 한방적 치료 과정이 정립되어 있지 않은 극상근건 부분 파열에 한방 치료와 ART 치료를 병행하는 것이 효과가 있음 을 알 수 있었다.
