  • Objectives The purpose of this report was to study the circulation of meridian WiGi, YoungGi, from the viewpoint of manual medicine. Methods First, the Korean Medical approach analyzes documents about the circulation of meridian WiGi, YoungGi, and the biomechanical approach is to analyze documents about kinetic force and kinematic movement. The third inherent energy approach is to analyze documents about craniosacral rhythm and visceral motility. Finally, it is to study the correlation between the circulation of meridian WiGi, YoungGi, and the viewpoint of biomechanics force and movement, the inherent energy of manual medicine. Results Meridian WiGi is fast, powerful, and changeful. It circulates through the head and extremities in the daytime and visceral organs at night. The deviation pelvis and distorted thoracic cage create kinetic force and kinematic movement. Meridian YoungGi is very small and soft energy and circulates meridians and visceral organs permanently. Craniosacral rhythm and visceral motility radiate continuously from cranial and visceral organs to the whole body. Conclusions Circulation of meridian WiGi is closely related to the biomechanical approach. In addition, circulation of meridian YoungGi is closely related to the inherent energy approach.

  • The purpose of this study was to evaluate accessibility condition of buildings in a college from manual wheel chair users' perspective in order to suggest improvements, and to develop 3D accessibility maps in order to assist manual wheelchair users' prior planning for the building use. In May 2020, on-site investigation was held to three buildings in Chungbuk National University. Major findings were as follows. (1) There were some building entrances that showed level difference over 2cm without proper ramp with slow slope 1/8 or less. (2) Some rooms were found to have accessibility issues to have floors with height more than 2cm, and/or to have no height-adjustable desks. (3) Although accessible restrooms were in good condition for manual wheelchair users' access and use, it is suggested to install accessible restroom for each gender in each floor for better access. Using the study results, 2-dimensional accessibility maps for each floor were developed in color and grayscale, which were further developed into 3-dimensional accessibility maps for each building.

  • Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Chuna manual therapy(CMT) in the treatment of rotator cuff disorder. Methods We searched th following nine online databases without language restriction (MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane library, Ebscohost, CNKI, RISS, NDSL, KMBASE, and KISS) to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that used CMT in the treatment of rotator cuff disorder. The methodological quality of each RCT was assessed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. Results Four RCTs were included. in the meta-analysis. CMT resulted in a significant reduction in symptoms in these trials. However, there was a high risk of bias in the RCTs. Conclusions We reviewed RCTs that studied the effects of CMT for rotator cuff disorder. While the studies indicate that CMT has favorable effects on rotator cuff disorder. But the risk of bias for most of the studies was high. Therefore, high-quality studies are required to make further conclusions.

  • Objectives This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of Chuna manual therapy (CMT) for the treatment of cerebral palsy. Methods The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the treatment of CMT for cerebral palsy in children were selected among the literature published until January 2021 in seven databases. The quality of the literature was evaluated using the Cochrane's risk of bias tool, and RevMan 5.3 was used for the synthesis of results. Results Total 801 pediatric patient with cerebral palsy incontinence were finally selected from twelve RCTs. The total effective rate of the combined treatment general rehabilitation and CMT is statistically significantly higher (P<0.0001) than that of general rehabilitation alone. Conclusions This study suggests that general rehabilitation combined with CMT for cerebral palsy in children might be more effective in improving symptoms than general rehabilitation alone. As the number and quality of the literature included in the meta-analysis was insufficient, high-quality clinical studies on CMT for cerebral palsy would be required.

  • This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of facial chuna manual therapy in treating the sequelae of Bell's palsy. Four patients were treated with facial chuna manual therapy once a week for 4 weeks, consisting of facial muscle massage, acupoint pressure, contracture chuna, and synkinesis chuna. The changes in symptoms (contracture and sysnkinesis) were measured using the Sunnybrook Facial Grading Scale (SFGS), Synkinesis Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), Facial Disability Index (FDI), Contracture/Synkinesis scale using a facial scanning system, Numeric Rating scale (NRS) for synkinesis or contracture, and Was It Worth It questionnaire. After treatments, SFGS, Contracture/Synkinesis scale, and NRS for synkinesis or contracture showed significant improvements. SFGS increased in three cases from 39~76 to 52~85 score. SAQ decreased in two cases from 53.33~57.78 to 40.00~55.56. FDI increased in three cases from 120~128 to 138~145. These results suggest that Korean medicine treatment, including facial chuna manual therapy can be effective in improving the sequelae of Bell's palsy.

  • Objectives This study aimed to investigate the status of Chuna manual therapy(CMT) usage before and after COVID-19 social distancing measures. Methods This study utilized Health Insurance data from April 2019 to May 2023. Quarterly data were collected for Simple Chuna (code 40710), Complex Chuna (code 40720;50% patient expense), Complex Chuna (code 40721;80% patient expense), and Special Chuna (code 40730). Results During the period covered by health insurance, the number of CMT patients was 8,315,838, with 19,332,786 instances of CMT, and a total cost of 544,651,407 won. Due to COVID-19, the application of CMT decreased in the first quarter of 2020, but recovered from 2021, showing an increase in usage by the first quarter of 2023. The decline in the use of all medical institutions in the fourth quarter is believed to be due to restrictions on health insurance coverage for CMT. Conclusions Further research on CMT health insurance is necessary. This research should inform discussions on policies aimed at expanding health insurance coverage for CMT.
