肩関節周囲炎患者に対する遠隔部鍼治療を用いての棘上筋トレーニングの効果

抄録

This report describes the effect of supraspinatus exercise during remote acupuncture therapy for a patient with periarthritis scapulohumeralis. It was considered that the cause of limitation of flexion in the shoulder joint was an abnormal flexion motion pattern due to lower activity of the supraspinatus muscle. The pattern of shoulder flexion was elevation and early upward rotation of the scapula caused by hyperactivity of the upper trapezius. Therefore, in order to increase the activity of the supraspinatus, remote acupuncture therapy was performed on the SI3 (Koukei) and to reduce the activity was performed on the TE5 (Gaikan). Exercise of the supraspinatus muscle was performed during remote acupuncture therapy. As a result of exercise during remote acupuncture therapy, the abnormal shoulder flexion pattern was improved and pain in the anterior part of the shoulder joint was reduced.
