Until the up to day, we have known that a tight iliotibial tract has an influence on the patella, pulling it laterally and causing pain in patients with patellofemoral syndrome, so should be stretched as a part of physical therapy. But the iliotibial tract's function on the patella in subjects with PFS has not yet been proved and further questions need to be answered regarding the evlauation or treatment of a tight tract in patients with PFS.

The purpose of this study was to compare the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of three methods for measuring iliotibial tract length in 40 knees of 20 subjects. The measurements were performed by two examiners and one assistant. The length of the iliotibial tract was measured using three methods: the first used a modified Ober test with an inclinometer, the second used a modified Ober test with a marker, and the third used active adduction test with a marker in the supine position. Each examiner used the three methods in two sessions. For the first method, the inclinometer value was recorded manually. For the second and third methods, Image J analysis software was used to analyze the photographs taken. The intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of the measured value was assessed by means of intra-class correlation coefficients [ICC (3,1)] and the standard error of measurement. The intra-rater reliabilities of the three methods were excellent (ICC=.97, .95, and .94, respectively), and the inter-rater reliabilities of the first and second methods were fair to good (ICC=.64 and .65, respectively). The inter-rater reliability of the third method was excellent (ICC=.88). Our results suggest that the active adduction test is an objective and qualitative measurement method for measuring iliotibial tract length. We recommend that the active adduction test be used for measuring iliotibial tract length in the clinical setting.

목적: 장경대 구축에 의한 탄발성 고관절에서 Z-성형술을 이용한 치료 결과에 대하여 보고하고자 하였다 대상 및 방법: 1995년3월부터 2002년 5월까지 탄발성 고관절에 대하여 장경대 Z-성형술을 받은 5명 7례에 대하여 조사하였다. 남자는 3명, 여자는 2명이었으며 평균 연령은 24.4세, 평균 추시 기간은 1년 4개월이었다. 수술방법은 Brignall 및 Stainsby의 방법을 이용해 장경대를 Z-성형하여 길이를 연장 시켰으며, 마취는 국소마취 3예, 경막외 마취 4예(2명)를 이용하였다. 평가는 탄발 정도 및 동통을 조사하였다. 결과 모든 환자에서 탄발음은 소실되었고, 기능적으로 만족하였으며 양쪽 슬관절을 붙인 상태로 조그려 앉기가 가능하였다. 1예에서 가끔씩 약간의 동통을 호소하였으나 재수술을 할 정도의 심각한 정도는 아니었다. 근력 약화를 호소하는 경우는 없었다. 결론: 장경대의 비대 및 구축에 의한 탄발성 고관절은 Z-성형술을 이 용하여 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었다

Objectives : This study was carried out to investigate the correlation of meridian system in oriental medicine and muscular system in western medicine. Methods : Muscles were assigned to meridians by their main functions and the acupoints on them. New mutual relationships between meridians in lower limb were studied based on the muscular function. Results : In gluteal & femoral region, iliopsoas & quadratus femoris are assigned to spleen & stomach meridians, gluteus maximus & hamstrings to urinary bladder & kidney meridians, adductor muscle groups to liver meridian, gluteus medius & minimus & iliotibial tract to gall bladder meridian. In crural region, anterior crural muscles are assigned to stomach meridian, lateral crural muscles to gall bladder meridian, suferficial posterior crural muscles to urinary bladder (& kidney) meridian, deep posterior crural muscles to liver, spleen, kidney meridians. In lower limb, urinary bladder meridian and stomach meridian lead the muscular functions and correspond to each other, while spleen meridian assists stomach meridian, and kidney meridian assists urinary bladder meridian. Conclusions : Muscles may be assigned to meridians by their functions and the acupoints on them. From the view of muscular function, Yang meridians lead Yin meridians in lower limb.
