Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of upper thoracic joint mobilization technique using Kaltenborn-Evjenth concept on the range of cervical and thoracic motion and pain in patients with chronic neck pain. The subjects were divided into a thoracic joint mobilization group(n=7) and a conservative physical therapy group(n=7). Each of the groups received thoracic joint mobilization or conservative physical therapy three times a week lasted for four weeks. The measurements were performed for the range of thoracic segmental motion(SpinalMouse), the pain(visual analogue scale) and the range of cervical joint motion(Inclinometer, Dualer IQ). They were made four times: before experiment, at 2weeks, 4weeks, and 4weeks after experiment.

본 연구는 만성 경부통증 환자에게 Kaltenborn-Evjenth concept에 기초한 상부흉추 관절가동술 적용이 경흉추 관절 가동범위와 통증에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. Kaltenborn-Evjenth concept은 작은 진폭의 도수요법으로 관절낭이나 연부조직에 스트레스를 주지 않고 해당부위의 관절 또는 근육을 칼텐본 등급에 따라 정형도수치료를 하는 수기요법이다. 연구 대상자는 상부흉추 관절가동술군 7명과 보존적 물리치료군 7명으로 나뉘어 각각 주 3회, 4주간 흉추 관절가동술과 보존적 물리치료(온습포 치료, 간섭파, 초음파 치료)를 시행 받았다. 측정은 실험 전과 실험 2주, 실험 4주, 실험 후 4주에서 흉추 분절별 가동범위와 통증, 경추 가동범위를 측정하였다. 흉추 분절별 가동범위는 Spinal Mouse를 이용하여 흉추 1-2분절, 2-3분절, 3-4분절의 굴곡-신전 값을 측정하였고, 통증은 VAS(visual analogue scale)를 이용하여 측정하였습니다. 경추 가동범위(굴곡, 신전, 굴곡-신전)는 관절각도계(Inclinometer, Dualer IQ)를 이용하여 측정하였고, 상부흉추 관절가동술이 만성통증 환자에게 있어서 관절 가동범위의 변화와 자세 및 기능개선에서 도움이 된 것으로 나타났다.
