Abstract

The Foot drop is led by the conditional palsy of dorsal flexor according to some causes. In this case, it is caused by peroneal nerve palsy. It brings the difficulty in waking and standing up. We observed 2 cases of patient with Foot drop. Two patients were treated by the same method and treatment was performed by means of electroacupuncture(2-4Hz frequency, intensity was adjusted so that localized muscle contraction could be seen). As the result, symptoms are improved.

본 증례는 원인을 알 수 없는 비골신경마비로 인해 발생한 하수족(Foot drop)환자를 전침치료로 호전시킨 치험례로 전침이 마비성 질환에 유효하여 향후 다양한 마비성 질환에 응용할 수 있도록 많은 임상 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.
