Abstract
This study performed a proprioception improvement training for recurrence prevention of industrial workers with chronic lateral epicondylitis and analysed their pain and proprioception. The subjects of the study were thirty chronic lateral epicondylitis patients working for K company and were divided into elbow exercise program Group made of 15 subjects and proprioception improvement training Group made of 15. As variables for pain, pressure pain, and grip strength were measured and for the propioception, joint position sense of each group was measured before and after the exercise program. To compare differences before and after the program, a paired t-test was used and to compare differences between both groups, an independent samples t-test was used. As a result of the test, it was discovered that pressure pain, grip strength and joint position sense of the both groups were improved statistically significantly. These were statistically differential effect between each group on pressure pain, grip strength and joint position sense. In conclusion, it is suggested that proprioception improvement training should be considered as a method chronic and recurrence prevention lateral epicondylitis of industrial workers.
본 연구는 산업체 만성 외측상과염환자의 재발방지를 위하여 고유수용성감각 증진훈련을 실시하고 통증 및 고유수용성 감각을 측정하여 분석하였다. 대상자는 K산업체 만성 외측상과염 환자 30명을 대상으로 주관절 운동프로그램군 15명, 고유수용성감각 증진 훈련군 15명으로 구성되었으며, 통증은 압통역치와 악력으로 측정하였고, 고유수용성 감각은 관절위치 감각을 측정하여 운동 전과 운동 후, 군간을 비교분석하였다. 집단 내 운동 전 후의 차이를 비교하기 위하여 대응표본 t-검정을 사용하였고, 집단간의 차이를 비교하기 위하여 독립표본 t-검정을 실시하였다. 실험 결과 압통역치, 악력, 관절위치 감각에서 두 군 모두 통계학적으로 유의하게 개선된 것으로 나타났다. 또한 군간 비교에서는 압통역치, 악력, 관절위치에서 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 결론적으로 산업체 만성외측상과염 환자의 만성화와 재발방지를 위한 방법으로 고유수용성감각 증진 훈련이 운동프로그램으로 고려되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
