Objective: We aimed to investigate differences of range of motion in measuring shoulder internal rotation (IR) and external rotation (ER) resulting from posture change in manual scapular stabilization in prone, hook-lying, sitting, and standing positions in healthy young adults. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: This study included healthy young adults who agreed to participate after a thorough explanation about the study purpose and methods. A clinometer was used to measure shoulder rotation. Measurements of shoulder rotation according to postural change were performed in prone, hook-lying, sitting, and standing positions. The repeated measures analysis of variance was used to compare between-group differences in postural change. Results: The lower the posture, the greater the average value of IR angle. In contrast, the higher the posture, the greater the average value of the external rotation angle. In active and passive IR with posture change, there was difference in average value but with no statistical significance. In active and passive ER, there was a statistically significant difference between prone and sitting, prone and standing, hook-lying and sitting, hook-lying and standing, and sitting and standing position (p<0.05). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that postural change should be considered in order to increase the strength or range of motion of the internal and external rotation of the patient's shoulder joint.

Introduction : The Functional muscle transfer is used to reconstruct the injuried muscle and paralysis of the shoulder. Especially transfer of the trapezius has been the treatment of choice but it has disadvantages of inadequate function and deformed contour, and instability of humeral head in case of acromion resection. We report an operation for shoulder reconstruction after wide resection of malignant fibrous histiocytoma, using rotational latissimus dorsi flap and review the operation method and clinical outcome. Materials and Methods : A patient, 53 year old, with malignant fibrous histiocytoma in the acromioclavicular joint area had been underwent wide excision, including the deltoid, clavicular head of pectoralis major, part of trapezius, lateral 1/3 of clavicle and acromion including scapular spine. The rotational latissimus dorsi flap with its neurovascular pedicle was dissected and then placed over the resected area and transfer of muscle attached at coracoid process was done to achieve stability of the humeral head. The range of motion of the shoulder and test of muscle power were evaluated for functional outcome. Total follow-up period is 2 years 11 months. Results : At last follow-up, the range of motion of the shoulder is abduction $90^{\circ}$, flexion $90^{\circ}$, internal rotation $40^{\circ}$, external rotation $50^{\circ}$ and the muscle power is 4 grade in all direction and then we obtained good functional results. There are no complications such as instability or subluxation of the humeral head and deformed contour and he is a disease-free survival state. Conclusions : The transfered latissimus dorsi flap provides adequate lever arm and stabilization and covering of the humeral head by sufficient muscle volume and width. This procedure can be useful not only for the paralysed deltoid reconstruction but also for use in reconstructive surgery after wide resection of the shoulder for malignant tumor.

본 연구의 목적은 어깨통증을 경험한 여자대학생들의 압통역치 및 자세정렬에 어깨근육스트레칭, 어깨 안정화운동 및 자세교정운동을 포함한 복합운동이 어떤 영향을 미치는 지를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구대상자 21명을 대조군 7명(중재 미실시), 실험군 1(온습포, 스트레칭)에 7명, 실험군 2(스트레칭, 안정화운동 및 자세교정)에 7명으로 배정하여 각 중재를 3주간, 주당 4회 실시하였다. 그 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 오른쪽 및 왼쪽 위등세모근 압통역치와 시각적 통증척도(VAS) 점수의 중재 전 후 변화량은 대조군보다 실험군 2가 유의하게 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 오른쪽 위등세모근 압통역치와 시각적 통증척도는 대조군보다 실험군 1이 유의하게 더 컸다. 반면에 목 각도의 세 집단 간의 중재 전 후 변화량은 유의한 차이가 없었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 어깨통증을 경험한 여대생들에 대하여 스트레칭, 안정화운동 및 자세교정을 포함하는 복합운동은 압통역치 증가 및 통증감소에 효과적임을 제안한다.

수컷, 12년령, 2 kg의 푸들견이 오른쪽 앞다리 파행 평가를 위해 내원하였다. 병력 검사에서 교통사고 후 1년 동안 재발성 양측 어깨 관절 탈구를 보이다가 최근 들어 왼쪽 어깨는 유지가 잘 되고 오른쪽 어깨는 탈구가 심해진 것을 확인 하였다. 신체 검사에서 오른쪽 앞다리 파행을 확인 하였고, 방사선 검사에서 상완골 내측 탈구와 상완골과 견갑골의 겹침 현상을 확인 하였다. 수술 중 근위축, 상완 두갈래 근육 톤 감소, 어깨 관절 내측 인대 파열, 어깨 아래근 정지부 파열을 확인 하였다. 상완 두갈래근 변위술을 사용하였으나 수술 7일 후 재탈구를 확인 하였다. 견갑골 어깨 관절 부위에 장착한 두 개의 $2mm{\times}6mm$ 피질용 본 앵커와 상완골 어깨 관절 부위에 장착한 한 개의 $4mm{\times}6mm$ 해면질용 본 앵커를 이용 어깨 관절 내측 인대 복원술을 실시 하였다. 수술 직후 및 6주 후 방사선 검사에서 어깨 관절 탈구를 확인 할 수 없었다. 수술 후 6개월 신체 검사에서 파행은 더 이상 관찰 되지 않았다.

Background: This study was carried out to determine whether non-face-to-face physical therapy would have similar exercise effects to face-to-face physical therapy. Hence, we developed an approach for patients, unable to visit hospitals due to circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic, to conduct physical therapy comfortably at home. Objects: This study aimed to compare the effects of a face-to-face and a non-face-to-face physical therapy treatment on improving a rounded shoulder posture. Methods: The participants with rounded shoulders were randomly divided into a face-toface group (n = 15) and a non-face-to-face group (n = 15), and each group performed exercises for four weeks. The exercise program consisted of the bare hands exercise, Thera-Band exercise, and foam roller exercise. The participants in the face-to-face group came to a designated place to perform their exercises, and those in the non-face-to-face group performed the exercises at their own home using Google Meet (Google). Acromial height, total scapular distance (TSD), shoulder pain and dysfunction index (SPADI), and pectoralis minor thickness were measured. Data analysis was performed using the R Statistical Software (R Core Team), and a normality test was performed using the Shapiro-Wilk test. Results: There were no significant differences between the face-to-face and the non-face-toface groups (p > 0.05). When comparing the differences before and after the exercises, both the face-to-face and the non-face-to-face groups showed significant differences in acromial height, SPADI, and pectoralis minor thickness (p < 0.05), and both groups showed no significant difference in TSD before and after the exercises (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study support the results of previous studies reporting that shoulder stabilization exercise and pectoralis minor stretching training improves round shoulders. In addition, this study revealed that both the face-to-face and the non-face-to-face physical therapy treatments had therapeutic effects.
