Purpose: This study examined the effects of the fascial distortion model (FDM) method on Cobb's angle. Methods: Fourteen subjects participated in this study. The idiopathic scoliosis group performed FDM treatments eight times in four weeks. A Shapiro-Wilks test was used to verify the normality of a group of idiopathic scoliosis patients. A paired t-test was performed to determine the satisfaction with the normality. Results: The difference in Cobb's angle was reduced significantly (p<0.05) by an average of $5.72^{\circ}{\pm}2.24$ from $15.51^{\circ}{\pm}1.81$ before the experiment. Conclusion: This study found that the use of the FDM method was effective in improving the Cobb's angle. The application of a FDM treatment appears to stabilize the fascia with decreased ability to adapt physiologically. The application of the CD and TB method of FDM treatment improved the asymmetry spine by dispersing moisture in fascia and improving the contraction and relaxation ability. The results suggest that the Cobb's angle is reduced when FDM is applied, thereby preventing the progression of curvature and avoiding psychological and physical problems that can arise from improving patients with scoliosis.

One of the most difficult problems to damage in dentistry is an odontogenic infection. These infections may range from low-grade, well-localized infections that require only minimal treatment to a severe, life-threatenig fascial space infection. Although the overwhelming majority of odontogenic infections are easily managed by minor surgical procedures and supportive medical therapy that includes antibiotic administration, the practitioner must constantly bear in mind that these infections may become severe in a very short time. We made an investigation was targeting on 78 male and 47 female patients (125 patients in total) who had been hospitalized because of the fascial space abscess on the oral and maxillofacial area and gained a complete recovery in Daegu Catholic University Hospital, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery from January 1999 to December 2003. By tracing their charts, we could grasp the characteristics such as age, gender, the time of breakout and specific areas of the attacks, making a conclusive study of the statistical analysis and finally, we could reach conclusions. Now, we report the conclusion from the investigation with the literature. The proportion of males and females was approximately 3 to 2, and in age group, patients under 10 years old marked the highest, 22.4%. The patients between the age of 10 and 40 were only 14.4%, yet those who were between 40 and 80 marked 53.6% in contrast. In the monthly distribution, the order was Dec.(13.6%)-Sep.(12%)-Jan.(10.4%) and in seasonal distribution, it was winter(30.4%)-fall(28%)- summer(24.4%)- spring(19.2%). Considering the medical history, D.M. was the highest which was 30.3%, hypertension marked 24.4%, and the patients with both D.M. and hypertension were 9.0%. The major cause of infection of oral and maxillofacial areas was odontogenic infection, which marked about 96%, and especially the cases related to dental caries occurred most frequently, which was 51.2%. In the number of relaxed fascial space, single fascial space was 81.6%, and in the degree of relaxation of fascial space, the buccal space abscess marked 40.8%, following submandibular space abscess, which was 30.4%.

배경: 근막이완기법과 수동적 스트레칭을 병행한 실험이 직장여성의 하지체형에 미치는 연구는 보고되지 않았다. 목적: 고정자세로 근무하는 직장여성에게 근막이완기법과 수동적 스트레칭을 적용하여 체성분분석(세포내액, 골격 근량, 체세포량)에 어떤 변화를 미치는지를 연구하는 것이었다. 방법: 실험군과 대조군을 각각 15명씩 구성하여 실험 군에게는 주 2회, 총 9주간 18회 하체 집중 근막이완기법과 수동적 스트레칭을 시행하고, 대조군은 능동적 스트레칭 설명서를 보고 스스로 주 2회 이상 스트레칭을 하도록 했다. 수집한 자료는 분산분석으로 분석하였다. 결과: 실험집단의 체성분 중 세포내액(p < .05), 골격 근량(p < .048), 체세포량 (p < .047)이 유의하게 증가하였다. 결론: 직장여성의 하지 부종이 감소하였으며, 기초자료로서 가치가있다 본다.

본 연구는 골드테라피가 목, 등, 어깨 부위 근막통증증후군에 미치는 영향을 스톤테라피와 비교 연구하여 임상에서 효율적인 간호 중재로서의 활용 가능성을 검증하고자 실시하였다. 수도권에 거주하는 여성 20명을 골드군(10명), 스톤군(10명)으로 나누어 2주간, 주 3회, 1회 40분 씩, 총 6회 관리를 실시하였다. 골드군과 스톤군 모두 관리후 목둘레, 좌 우 어깨 넓이, 좌 우 견갑골 하각 넓이, 전 후 어깨 두께, 허리둘레가 관리전과 비교하여 통계적으로 유의미한 감소를 보였고(p<0.001) 그 변화량 차이는 골드군이 스톤군에 비해 더 크게 나타났다. 골드군과 스톤군 모두 관리후 목 우측굴, 목 좌측굴, 목 굴곡, 목 신전 각도 변화에서 관리전에 비교하여 통계적으로 유의미하게 증가하였고(p<0.001) 그 변화량 차이는 골드군이 스톤군에 비해 더 크게 나타났다. 결론적으로 골드테라피가 목, 등, 어깨 부위 근막이완과 통증 완화에 효과적인 간호중재 방법임이 확인되어 비침습적인 안전한 방법으로 활용할 가치가 있다고 사료된다.
