Objectives : This study was to investigate stability of spinal curvature and MMPI(The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) profiles in traffic accident patients. Methods : Total patients were classified into TA(traffic accident) inpatients and non-TA inpatients. We analyzed the characteristics of each group - age, sex, onset period, treatment period, angle of cervical curve and lumbar curve, lumbo-sacral angle and MMPI profiles. Results : 1. According to accidental type, mean of cervical angle is more low in TA Group. Means of lumbar angle and lumbo-sacral angle are more high in TA Group. But it was no significant difference. 2. According to accidental type, L, Hs, Pa profiles were high scores in TA Group. But it was no significant difference. 3. After multiple regression analysis in total patients, Accidental type was independently related with D profiles. Conclusions : On this study, there was no significantly difference in stability of spinal curvature according to accidental type. But, in multiple regression analysis on MMPI profiles, TA patient group was significantly related with D profiles.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to observe the effect of Sangyang(LI1) and Tae-baek(SP3) acupuncture by Yangdorack. Methods : 23 subjects were examined twice before and after acupuncture from April, 2005 to September, 2005 in Oriental Medical Hospital of Dong-Shin University. After we checked the electric current on twelve points of Yangdo, and analysed the results using SPSS(Version 11.0). Results & Conclusions : 1. The values of electric current are not significant, when sorted by body mass index(BMI). But underweight testee shows increased value of electric current on heart meridian. 2. There are no differences found between right value and left value on organic analysis. 3. The mean value is elevated by Sangyang(LI1) and Tae-baek(SP3) acupuncture, the value of bi(脾) organ is significantly elevated on p<0.05.

Objectives : Muscle tone is proportional to passive tension, so passive tension of antagonist can be measured by measuring passive ROM of a joint. Considering close correlation between movement and muscle tension, we hypothesized that tension patterns of upper and lower limbs would exit, and we tried to prove the existence of tension patterns of shoulder and hip joints by measuring of passive ROM of those joints. Methods : We collected 110 volunteers(75 men and 35 women), whose age was from 20 to 30, BMI was less than 23kg/m2 and who had no musculoskeletal disorder. we had passively horizontally adducted and abducted shoulder joint and passively adducted and abducted hip joint, then measured passive ROM of those joints. We decided which side was relatively dominant by comparing between left and right ROM. We analyzed the differences of tensions of shoulder and hip joints by the handedness, and the relationships between the tensions of left and right shoulder joints, between the tensions of left and right hip joints and between the tensions of shoulder joints and hip joints. Results : The right hip adduction and the left hip abduction were relatively significantly limited at right-handed persons. There was statistically significant relationship between the tensions of left and right shoulder joints, and between the tensions of left and right hip joints. There was no significant relationship between the tensions of shoulder and hip joint. Conclusions : Right-handed has the tension patterns especially at hip joints. There is also tension patterns between the homologous joints.
