척수손상환자들에게 호흡기계 합병증의 발생률과 이로 인한 사망률은 여전히 높은 비율을 차지하고 있으며, 이 중 폐렴이 가장 주요한 사망의 원인이 되고 있다. 본 연구는 남자 경수손상환자들에게 들숨근 강화를 목적으로 한 호흡운동이 호흡기능 및 삶의 질 향상에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위해 실시되었다. 연구대상은 마비수준 C4-C6의 아급성, 만성 경수손상 환자 중 현재 흡연을 하지 않는 남자 환자 17명이었으며, 주 3회, 총 6주간 들숨근 강화훈련을 실시하였다. 훈련 전후에 호흡곤란척도와 삶의 질을 자가측정 하였다. 연구 결과 호흡기능변화는 만성군에서만 유의한 감소(p<0.01)가 있었다. 삶의 질 변화에서는 아급성군은 VT(활력)에만 유의한 향상(p<0.05)이 있었고, 만성군은 GH(전반적인 건강상태), BP(통증), VT(활력)에서 유의한 향상(p<0.05, p<0.01)이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 들숨근 강화훈련이 호흡곤란을 경감시키고 삶의 질을 향상시켰다.

Purpose : It was to compare changes in respiratory function (pulmonary function, inspiratory function) after four weeks of inspiratory muscle strengthening training (diaphragmatic breathing with upper arm exercise, Power-Breathe breathing) for 36 healthy people. Methods : Subjects were randomly assigned to diaphragmatic breathing with upper arm exercise (Group I) and Power-breathe breathing (Group II) was conducted by the protocol for four weeks five times per week. As the main measurement method for comparison between groups For pulmonary function, Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Forced Expiratory Volume at One second (FEV1) were used, and for inspiratory function, Maximum Inspiratory Capacity (MIC), Maximum Inspiratory Pressure (MIP), and Maximum Inspiratory Flow Rate (MIFR) were used. Results : In changes in pulmonary function between groups, FVC and FEV₁ showed no significant difference, and in inspiratory function changes, MIC showed no significant difference, but in MIP and MIFR, Group B significantly improved over Group A. Conclusion : The progressive resistance training using the Power-breath device applied to the inspiratory muscle did not show a significant difference in the increase in the amount of air in the lungs and chest cage compared to the diaphragmatic breathing training accompanied by the upper arm exercise. However, by increasing the air inflow rate and pressure, it showed a more excellent effect on improving respiratory function.

본 연구의 목적은 전신진동이 결합된 들숨근 훈련을 적용하여 뇌졸중 환자의 호흡기능 개선 및 다리근육의 기능향상을 위한 운동방법을 제시하는 것이다. 뇌졸중 환자 21명을 임상 표본추출하여 호흡운동을 결합한 전신진동운동을 적용한 집단 11명을 실험군I로, 호흡운동을 결합한 위약운동을 적용한 집단 10명을 실험군II로 각각 무작위 배치하여 5주 간, 4일/주, 1회/일, 4세트/1회 중재 프로그램을 시행하였다. 중재 전 최대들숨압 측정기로로 호흡기능을 측정하였고, 표면 근전도로 하지 근활성도를 측정하였으며, 버그발란스 검사를 사용하여 균형능력을 측정한 후, 5주 후에 사후검사를 사전검사와 동일하게 재 측정하여 분석하였다. 실험군I의 집단 내 변화 비교에서는 호흡근력, 넙다리두갈래근, 앞정강근의 활성도 및 균형에서 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<.05). 실험군II의 집단 내 변화 비교에서는 호흡근력과 균형에서 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<.05). 집단 간 변화 비교에서는 넙다리두갈래근, 앞정강근의 활성도에서 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<.01). 향후에도 신경근 기능을 향상시키기 위한 호흡운동과 전신진동에 대한 프로토콜에 대한 연구가 지속적으로 필요할 것으로 여겨진다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of a kinesio tape on inspiratory muscle training(IMT) to improve muscle strength, endurance and pulmonary function. Methods: Healthy 20 males were divided into IMT group (control group) and IMT with tape group (experimental group). The same IMT program was applied to both groups using the Respifit S for four weeks, three times a week, a total 12 times. To exprimental group, kinesio tape was applied on the inspiratory agonist diaphragm and the accessory inspiratory muscle scalene, sternocleidomastoid, pectoralis minor. The inspiratory pulmonary muscle strength was measured by the maximal inspiratory pressure (PI max) and minute volume (MV) using the Respifit S and the pulmonary function were measured peak expiratory flow (PEF), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1sec (FEV1), FEV1/FVC using the Spirometer and compared before and after. Results: Results showed that the PI max in the two groups increased significantly and experimental group increased more effectively than that of control group. However, only MV showed a significant increase in experimental group but was not significantly different between the two groups. PEF and FEV1/FVC are significantly increased in both groups, but they did not make much difference between two groups, and the FVC for the two groups did not increase significantly. FEV1 increased significantly only with control group, but did not make a difference with experimental group. Conclusion: These result show that the PI max value for experimental group increased significantly than that of control group. Therefore kinesio tape maximizes inspiratory muscle exercise effect on muscle strength improvement. However, because of the short experimental period and difficulty in subject control, increase values of the others did not show a significant difference. In other words, kinesio tape did not show maximizing the inspiratory muscle exercise effect to improve endurance and pulmonary function.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigated the effects of threshold resistance inspiratory muscle training on respiratory function in chronic stroke patients. Design: Randomized Controlled Trial Methods: Eighteen patient with stroke were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n=9) and control group (n=9) all testing and training. The experimental group underwent threshold resistance inspiratory muscle training with resistance adjusted of maximal inspiratory pressure, 60 breathing a day and general physical therapy 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week for 4 weeks. The control group was taken general respiratory muscle training and general physical therapy for 4 weeks in the same way. Respiratory function, walking ability were evaluated before and after the intervention. Statistical significance of the results were evaluated by ANCOVA between control group and experimental group after intervention. Results: There was a significant increase in FVC and FEV1 in the experimental group in pulmonary function tests (p<0.05). There was a significant difference with the maximum inspiratory pressure and the maximum inspiratory flow rate between experimental and control group (p<0.05). There was no significant difference with the maximum inspiratory capacity between experimental and control group (p>0.05) but the maximum inspiratory capacity of experimental group some increased than that of control group. Conclusion: These finding gave some indications that the threshold resistance inspiratory training may benefit on pulmonary function in people with stroke, and it is feasible to be included in rehabilitation interventions with this population.
