This study was to compared the effectiveness of piroxicam gel phonophoresis with conventional ultrasound therapy in knee osteoarthritis. Eighteen patients with a means age of $55.7{\pm}5$ years were randomly assigned to phonophoresis or ultrasound groups. Continuous ultrasonic waves of 1 MHz frequency and $1\;W/cm^2\;SATA_i$ were applied for 5 minutes to the target knee joint. This study indicated their pain level by marking on a visual analog scale(VAS) at the start of treatment and at the end of 3day. Osteoarthritis VAS scores, pain on rest state, non weight bearing range of motion, 20 meters walking, and walking step by the patients were evaluated before and after therapy. Both therapeutic modalities were found to be effective and generally well tolerated after 3 therapy sessions. But piroxicam phonophoresis was not superior to conventional ultrasound in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

We performed the cross-cultural adaptation process directed at the translation into Korean of the Pain Visual Analogue Scale, the Self-Report of Improvement and the Beacke Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Adults. This project will help ensure that the Korean versions of these measures retain their meaning and measurement properties when applied to the Korean language and culture. This will help reduce measurement error in the RCT. This research should be of value to other researchers who wish to study older adults with rheumatological conditions.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the korean medical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, especially taping therapy for carpal space expansion. Methods : Six patients were treated with acupuncture, moxibustion and kinesio taping therapy. To evaluate the pain and numbness of the palm and finger, visual analogue scale(VAS) and Phalen's test were used. Results : After about 10 to 20 times treatment, the pain and numbness of almost cases were remarkably removed. Also the VAS of post-treatment was reduced by 1.33(means). And the time being required to response to Phalen's test was signally prolonged, as 5 cases took over one minute. Conclusions : Korean medical treatment including expansion taping of carpal space as kinesio correction therapy is remarkably effective for carpal tunnel syndrome. But further studies are required to concretely prove the effectiveness of correction taping on other compressive neuropathy.

Objectives : This study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Bee Venom acupuncture therapy on sprain of C-spine by randomized controlled double blinding method. Methods : A randomized double blinding study of bee venom acupuncture therapy was conducted on sprain of C-spine. We divided sprain of C-spine patient into 2 groups: one group with both acupuncture and saline acupuncture therapy, and another group with both acupuncture and bee venom acupuncture therapy. To estimate the efficacy of treatment that applied for two groups, we used visual analog scale(VAS) and neck disability index(NDI). We compared the VAS and NDI score of two groups statistically. Results : STZ induced increase of serum creatinine, BUN and albumin secretion were lowered by AD-1 treatment.

Objective : The purpose of these cases is to observe the effect of burning acupuncture therapy on the traumatic injury of medical collateral ligament. Methods : The patients were treated by burning acupuncture therapy to recover injury of medical collateral ligament. The progress evaluation of knee joint pain was measured by the knee society knee score(KSKS), function score (KSFS) and visual analog scale(VAS). Results : KSKS & KSFS were increased and VAS decreased in all cases. Conclusions : We had concluded that the burning acupuncture therapy can be effective to knee joint pain caused by traumatic injury of medial collateral ligament.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the fire needling therapy treatment on the biceps tendinitis. Methods : Fire needling therapy was administered five times to the patient complaining with biceps tendinitis. The improvement of clinical symptom was evaluated by McGill Pain Questionnaire -Short Form(SF-MPQ), Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) and Shoulder Pain, and Disability Index (SPADI). Result : After fire needling therapy to the biceps tendinitis patient five times, the patient's SF-MPQ score, VAS, and SPADI improved from 24 to 11, from 9 to 4, and from 33.6 to 14.8 respectively. Conclusions : Fire needling for biceps tendinitis should be tested in future randomized clinical trials.

In our life, stories are ubiquitous. Such stories of our lives are shared during counseling and psychotherapy. Modern storytelling is not limited to image and digital media. It encompasses various media, including offline contents such as festivals and theme parks. Furthermore, it is also utilized in film therapy. Film therapy refers to all the methods that utilize films and image media in counseling and psychotherapy. This paper summarizes and analyzes film therapy that utilizes storytelling. As the result of this analysis, it was found that we could gain insight into the identity of patients and their treatment through the storytelling that utilized films.

Purpose : This study aims to analyze the effect of abdominal respiration on back pain of an Elementary Schoolchild. Methods : The data was collected from April 9 to April 27. We analyzed the descriptive statistics and paired t-test by SPSS 12.0 for windows. Results : The results of the study were as follow : The comparison of change in visual analogue scale showed effective differences before and after diaphragmatic breathing exercise. Conclusion : Thus, this study indicates that have a positive effect on Back Pain of an Elementary Schoolchild. Further trials, which give attention to these parts, are needed before any firm conclusions may be made.

Background: Back pain is associated with a high risk of recurrence. Various physical therapy techniques for back pain have been studied, including reprogramming the central nervous system by integrating sensation and motion with sensory exercise training. Objectives: To aimed verify the effectiveness of sensorimotor training in improving postural stability and pain levels. Design: A randomized controlled trial. Methods: The study population was randomized into a sensory exercise training group and trunk stabilization training group and treated three times a week for 4 weeks. Each group took part in sensorimotor training for 15 minutes or lumbar stabilization exercise for 15 minutes. Results: After the intervention both groups showed Improvements in the variables. There was a significant difference in the dynamic postural stability, limit of stability, and modified visual analog scale scores in the sensorimotor training group compared to the lumbar stabilization exercise group (P<.05). Conclusion: Sensorimotor training appears to be an effective physical therapy exercise program that can be applied in patients with low back pain to improve muscle control ability.
