The purpose of this study was to compare the immediate effect of EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) on rectus femoris thickness during resisted knee extension exercise in healthy adults. This experiment was conducted on 20 healthy adults as pretest-posttest nonequivalent one group design. The subject's 1RM of both knee extension was measured indirectly using an elastic band, and the knee extension resistance exercise using an elastic band was applied to high intensity (80% of 1RM) on the right leg and low intensity (50% of 1RM with EMS) on the left leg, which were applied with 5 sets. Muscle measurements were performed on the rectus femoris (1/2 site, 1/4 site) using ultrasonography before and after exercise. There was a statistically significant difference on the thickness of the rectus femoris in low intensity exercise of the elastic band applied with EMS between pre-test and post-test (p<.05). The results of this study showed that elastic band low intensity exercise combined with EMS had an immediate effective in increasing the thickness of rectus femoris. Based on this result, it is also necessary to verify the effectiveness of intervention methods incorporating low-intensity resistance exercises applying EMS to elderly who cannot exercise high-intensity resistance training in the future, and to develop exercise programs for various body parts.

본 연구는 초기 편마비 환자의 손목에서 표면근전도 분석을 통해 근수축 개시 및 종료의 특성들을 알아보고, 임상적인 치료방법의 기초를 제안하고자 실시하였다. 연구대상자는 원주기독병원에 뇌졸중으로 입원한 환자 중 발병 후 3개월 미만인 13명과 원주시에 거주하는 대조군 7명이었다. 근수축 개시 및 종료의 지연은 표면근전도를 이용하여 손목굽힘근과 손목펴짐근에서 손목관절의 굽힘과 폄동작 시 3초의 근전도 신호음에 따라 가장 빠르고 강하게 최대 등척성 수축과 이완을 하여 신호를 수집하였다. 그 결과 편마비 환자의 환측은 건측과 대조군에 비해 손목관절 굽힘과 폄동작에서 근수축 개시및 종료가 유의하게 지연되었으며, 개시보다 종료가 더 유의하게 지연되었다. 따라서 초기 뇌졸중 환자의 근약화는 근육의 개시 및 종료의 반응시간 지연에 영향을 준다고 볼 수 있다. 앞으로 운동조절과 연관되어 기능적인 회복을 유도할 수 있는 근수축의 민첩성 훈련과 근섬유 동원의 효율성을 증진시키기 위한 치료방법들이 연구되어야 할 것이다.

The purpose of This study was to compare the effect of Convergence-Based russian current(RC) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(TENS) on pain, muscle strength, function of knee who had a surgical anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction(ACLR). A total of 40 Participants divided into 2 groups, with ACLR, were assigned to russian current group(RCG) or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation group(TENSG). Both groups were measured by varieties of tests: visual analog scale(VAS), knee flexion & extension muscle strength, knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score(KOOS), korean lower extremity functional scale(LEFS). Both groups has shown significant changes within the measurements of VAS, Knee Flexion & Extension muscle strength, KOOS and LEFS. The RCG had more significant increase within knee extension muscle strength, LEFS compared to TENSG. By studying this research, both interventions were effective to ACLR patients, moreover, RC was more effective for knee muscle strength and lower extremity function than the TENS.

This study aimed to examine the evolution of exercise performance and medical assessments in U-12 youth football players. Participants were recruited from an youth football players (YFG, n=15; $11.2{\pm}0.9yrs$) and normal youth (CON, n=15; $11.5{\pm}0.6yrs$). Both groups were tested for exercise performance (health related physical fitness, skill related physical fitness, functional movement screen; FMS and Y-balance) and medical assessments (lower extremity alignment, range of motion; ROM and manual muscle test; MMT). YFG showed a positive effects on pacer in health related physical fitness, 50-m run and Single-leg standing with eyes closed in skill related physical fitness, active straight leg raise and rotary stability in FMS, non-dominant composite score in Y-balance, respectively compared to CON. However, YFG showed a negative effects on Q-angle of dominant and non-dominant in lower extremity alignment, dorsiflexion of non-dominant, plantarflexion of dominant and non-dominan in ROM, hip extension and abduction, knee flexion and extension of dominant, knee flexion and extension of non-dominant in MMT, respectively compared to CON. These results indicated that U-12 youth football players have shown excellent exercise performance, but medical assessments has proved negative effects.

허리는 등부터 엉덩이 사이의 잘록한 부분을 뜻하며 상체와 하체를 구분하는 기준이 되기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 허리의 Flexion과 Extension에 대해 다루도록 한다. Flexion은 몸통의 수직선을 축으로 앞으로 몸을 구부리는 덧을 말한다. 이때 구부리는 각은 70~80도의 움직임이 기준이다. 이보다 크거나 적고 고통을 동반하면 이상이 있는 것이다. Extension은 엉덩관절을 고정한 채 몸을 뒤로 구부리는 것이다. 이때 각도는 25~35도 정도이다. 이보다 크거나 적고 고통을 동한하면 이상이 있는 것이다. 실험을 통하여 50대 사람들의 Flexion과 Extension의 이상 여부를 알아보았다.

This study evaluated the effect of self thoracic mobilization exercise (STME) on shoulder pain, disability and shoulder function in patients with shoulder dysfunction. Thirty-two patients with shoulder dysfunction were randomly assigned to the STME group and the control group. The visual analog scale, shoulder dysfunction, and shoulder range of motion were evaluated before and after intervention. Sixteen STME intervention patients used a foam roller and quadripedal position flexion and extension. Sixteen controls received placebo effects using electrotherapy pads. The two groups performed 20 minutes for three times per week for four weeks. The STME group showed significant improvement in pain and dysfunction compared to that of the control group (p <0.05), and their range of motion of the shoulder was significantly improved in flextion, abduction, and external rotation compared to that of the placebo group (p <0.05). Therefore, STME is effective in resolving shoulder pain and dysfunction, and will be able to educate patients with shoulder pain in an easier approach and mediate social treatment costs.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between vertical jump and lower extremity muscle strength of elementary school baseball players. This study subjects were conducted with a total of 40 subjects. Vertical jump was measured using a vertical jump gauge, and a hand held dynamometer was used to measure lower extremity muscle strength. For the measurement of lower extremity muscle strength, flexion·extension·adduction·abduction·internal rotaiton·external rotation of both hip joint, flexion·extension of both knee joint, dorsi flexion·plantar flexion of both ankle joint were measured. pearson's correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between vertical jump and lower extremity muscle strength. From these results, it was found that the stronger the leg muscles except for the plantar flexion, the higher the vertical jump was, indicating a positive correlation. In future studies, follow-up studies on the relationship between batting ability and vertical jump & lower extremity muscle strength are needed.
