다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of passive body alignment exercise on regional malalignment and foot pressure in adolescent male with malalignment. Fourteen middle aged men with malalignment were randomly divided to passive body alignment exercise group(PAG, n=7) and control group(CON, n=7). Passive body alignment exercise was performed for 50 min (warm up 10 min, exercise 30 min, cool down 10 min), three times a week for 12 weeks. Malalignment (head tilt, shoulder height, pelvic Height) and foot pressure were measured before and after 12 weeks each groups. In results, head tilt has showed the interaction between the group and the period and the main effect of the test(F=13.060, p=.011) and pelvic height has showed the interaction between the group and the period and the main effect of the test(F=19.753, p=.004). Whereas shoulder height(F=5.948, P=.051), foot pressure of left(F=3.434, P=.113), right(F=3.441, p=.113) did not showed a significant difference between the group and the period. Consequently, it was suggested that passive body alignment exercise showed a positive result in head tilt, pelvic height, but a negative result in shoulder height, foot pressure. Subsequent studies, conducted on a many basis, increasing the subject number are thought to obtain better results.
