Purpose: Patients with tibial fractures can have functional problems with balance and gait, as well as lower extremity muscle weakness. This case report aimed to describe the effect of hip joint strengthening exercises using proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) on balance and gait and lower limb function in a patient with tibia fracture. Methods: One patient diagnosed with tibial fracture was treated for seven weeks with the basic procedure, pattern, and technique of PNF for a hip joint strengthening exercise. Results: The results of pre- and post-intervention treatment showed improvements in physical function and structure in the clinical tests, including the manual strength test; the modified Ashworth scale; sensory evaluation; balance, sit-to-stand, and gait performance; and evaluation of lower limb function. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it is suggested that the use of theory-based proprioceptive neuromuscular stimulation for hip joint strengthening exercises positively affects patients' functional improvement in tibial fracture patients, and this may be used as a therapeutic exercise method for those with orthopedic problems in the lower extremities. One limitation of this study was that it was performed on only one tibia fracture patient, which makes it difficult to extend the treatment effects to all patients with this condition.

In this study, the muscle strength and endurance of the lumbar at flexion and extension were determined using an isokinetic muscle strength meter (Biodex) in patients with chronic lumbar go (10 male and 10 females), and the changes in muscle strength and endurance of the lumbar at flexion and extension after application of Y-shaped sacrospinalis muscle taping, typically used for patient with lumbar go, were studied. In addition, the sacrospinalis muscle taping of a different shape (I-shaped taping) was applied bilaterally centering on the spine, and the muscle strength and endurance of the lumbar at flexion and extension were determined and compared with those before taping. In addition, the results after application of Y-shaped taping and I-shaped taping were also compared. 1. The extensor muscle strength of the lumbar at loading of $60^{\circ}$/sec before application of kinesio Taping and after application of Y-shaped taping showed the level of significance (p<.05). The flexor muscle strength of the lumbar at loading of $60^{\circ}$/sec before application of kinesio taping and after application of Y-shaped taping did not show the level of significance. 2. The flexor muscle endurance of the lumbar at loading of $90^{\circ}$/sec before application of kinesio Taping and application of Y-shaped taping did not show the level of significance. The extensor muscle endurance of the lumbar at loading of $90^{\circ}$/sec before application of kinesio Taping and after application of Y-shaped taping did not show the level of significance. 3. The extensor muscle strength of the lumbar at loading of $60^{\circ}$/sec before application of kinesio Taping and after application of I-shaped taping showed the level of significance (p<.05). The flexor muscle strength of the lumbar at loading of $60^{\circ}$/sec before application of kinesio Taping and after application of I-shaped taping showed the level of significance (p<.05). 4. The flexor muscle endurance of the lumbar at loading of $90^{\circ}$/sec before application of kinesio taping and after application of I-shaped taping showed the level of significance. The extensor muscle strength of the lumbar at loading of $90^{\circ}$/sec before application of kinesio Taping and after application of I-shaped taping showed the level of significance (p<.05). 5. In comparison between after application of Y-shaped taping and after application of I-shaped taping, the flexor muscle strength of the lumbar at loading of $60^{\circ}$/sec did not show the level of significance. In comparison between after application of Y-shaped taping and after application of I-shaped taping, the extensor muscle strength of the lumbar at loading of $60^{\circ}$/ sec showed the level of significance (p<.05). 6. In comparison between after application of Y-shaped taping and after application of I-shaped taping, the flexor muscle strength of the lumbar at loading of $90^{\circ}$/sec did not show the level of significance. In comparison between after application of Y-shaped taping and after application of I-shaped taping, the extensor muscle strength of the lumbar at loading of $90^{\circ}$/sec did not showed the level of significance (p<.05).

본 연구는 2000년 7월 20일부터 2001년 1월 12일까지 대구광역시에 소재한 가톨릭병원 건강검진센타에서 골다공증 검사를 시행한 여성 50명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 연령은 50~59세가 66.0%로 가장 많았고, 평균연령은 56세이고, 49세 이하는 정상군이 18.7%, 50~59세는 골감소군 83.4%, 60세 이상은 골다공증군이 36.4%로 각각 가장 많았으며, 요추부의 평균골밀도는 연령의 증가에 따라 감소되었지만 유의하지 않았다. 요통유무는 요통이 있다가 76.0%로 많았고, 요통이 있다는 골다공증군 90.9%, 요통이 없다는 정상군이 43.7%로 각각 유의하게 많았으며 (p<0.05), 골밀도는 요통이 있다가 1.00g/$cm^2$로 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). 좋아하는 식품은 채소류가 62.0%로 많았고, 생선류는 요통군과 비요통군에서 정상군이 각각 33.3%, 57.1%, 채소류는 요통군과 비요통군에서 골다공증군이 각각 85.0%, 100.0%로 각각 가장 많았고, 골밀도는 요통군에서 채소류가 0.71g/$cm^2$로 각각 유의하게 낮았으며 (p<0.05), 비요통군에서도 채소류가 0.82g/$cm^2$로 낮았지만 유의하지 않았다. 혈액형은 B형은 요통군과 비요통군에서 골다공증군이 각각 50.0%, O형은 요통군과 비요통군에서 정상군이 각각 44.4%, 42.9%로 요통군이 많았고, 골밀도는 요통군과 비요통군에서 O형이 각각 가장 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 골밀도(BMD)는 평균골밀도(BMD)는 0.79g/$cm^2$, 요통군에서 0.90~0.99g/$cm^2$는 정상군이 77.8%, 0.60~0.69g/$cm^2$는 골다공증군이 50.0%로 각각 가장 많았고, 골밀도는 요통군과 비요통군에서 골밀도 수치가 증가할수록 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05) 다중회귀분석을 이용한 요추골밀도의 관련성 있는 요인은 연령, 결혼상태, 운동시간, 좋아하는 식품, 칼슘(Calcium), 골밀도의 표준편차인 T값이다(P<0.05). 요통과 골밀도의 관련변수별 상관관계에서 연령과 요통유무, 알카리포스파타제(Alkaline phosphatase), 몸무게와 체질량지수는 유의한 상관관계를 나타냈고 (p<0.01), 몸무게와 신장, 알카리포스파타제(Alkaline phosphatase)와 칼슘(Calcium), 골밀도와 폐경유무는 유의한 상관관계를 나타냈으며(p<0.05), 연령과 폐경유무, 골밀도, 골밀도의 표준편차인 T값, 골밀도와 좋아하는 식품, 알카리포스파타제(Alkaline phosphatase)는 유의한 역상관관계를 나타냈다(p<0.01). 이상의 결과를 요약하면, 요추골밀도의 관련성있는 요인은 연령, 운동시간, 좋아하는 식품, 칼슘(Calcium), 골밀도의 표준편차인 T값이고, 본 연구의 연구대상자의 50대가 66.0%로 가장 많아 폐경유무에서 폐경이다는 골감소군이 83.3%로 가장 많았으므로 폐경 후 기간이 길수록 요추골밀도가 낮아지는 현상을 본 연구에서는 의미 있는 설명 변량이 되지 못했다. 요통과 골밀도의 관련변수별 상관관계에서 연령, 요통유무, 폐경유무, 칼슘(Calcium), 인(Phosphorus), 알카리포스파타제(Alkaline phosphatase)가 중요한 요인으로 생각된다.
