초록정보 내용
The present study retrospectively investigated clinical outcome of patients with Scoliosis during Chuna treatment. The study population consisted of 8 patients(outpatient clinic of the Dept. of Rehabilitation Medicine, Kumi Oriental Hospital) who were diagnosed as scoliosis with X-ray finding of T, L-spine AP and lateral views. All patients were treated with Chuna technique, and they were evaluated with post treatment X-ray findings. And the evaluation of clinical outcome was done twice pre and post treatment during this study.
The results were summarized as follows;
1) Male to female ratio were 1:1.7 and 87.5% of the scoliosis were idiopathic by etiology.
2) The chief compainment of the patients were in the order of pain(7cases), cosmetic problem(1case).
3)All patients showed the improvement in the curve and the correction angle ranged from 1.5° to 11° and the mean correctability was 40.15%.
4) In cases of initial scoliosis angle from 11° to 20° showed 39.2% correction effect. The larger the scoliosis angle, the lesser the correction rate.
Further observation is needed to prove effect of Chuna technique on scoliosis with more and various cases.
