Abstract

본 연구는 경추 및 흉추부 스트레칭과 근력강화 운동프로그램이 머리전방자세에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 연구하였다. 머리전방자세를 갖고 있는 일반인 32명을 대상자로 자세교육과 운동프로그램을 적용한 실험군 16명과 자세교육만을 받은 대조군 16명을 대상으로 시행하였다. 두 개척추각(CVA:Craniovertebral Angle)과 두개회전각(CRA:Cranial Rotation Angle)을 X-ray로 검사하고, PACS(Picture Archiving and Communications System) <TEX>${\pi}view^{TM}$</TEX> 각도를 측정하였다. 연구결과 실험군은 두개척추각과 두개회전각이 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 그러나 대조군은 두개회전각에서만 유의한 차이가 있었다. 또한, 실험 전 그룹 간 차이는 없었으나 실험 후 그룹 간 비교에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 이 연구에서는 경, 흉추부 스트레칭 및 근력강화 운동프로그램이 연구대상자들의 머리전방자세를 감소시키는 척추자세정렬을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 이 연구 결과들은 자세증진 치료들에 있어서 향후 발전되는 운동프로 그램을 위해 기초자료가 될 수 있다. This study was to find out the effect of cervical and thoracic stretching and strengthening exercise program on forward head posture. 32 adults had forward head posture were selected as the subjects for the study. The training program of the exercise group(n=16) consist of postural education with exercise program, subjects in the control group(n=16) participated in a postural education only. Postural measurements of Craniovertebral Angle(CVA) and Cranial Rotation Angle(CRA) were obtained from the using x-ray and PACS(Picture Archiving and Communications System) <TEX>${\pi}view^{TM}$</TEX>. The results were compared with change of CVA and CRA exercise group were significant(p<.05) compared to the control group. However CRA of contol group was significant(P<.05). Also, there were no significant difference(p>.05) between groups on any pre-test measure. however there were significant difference(p<.05) between groups on CVA and CRA post-test measure. This study showed that cervical and thoracic stretching and strengthening exercise program can improve spinal posture alignment for decreasing forward head posture in subjects. These results can be fundamental data for further development of exercise program in interventions of postural improvement.
