폼롤러와 리커버링을 이용한 자가근막이완에 따른 흉추 가동성, 요통 그리고 삶의 질 변화

초록

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of exercise of self-fascia relaxation on improving the quality of life by using foam roller and recovering to relieve pain, restore thoracic spine flexibility and mobility, and enhance the function in office workers suffering from chronic back pain for more than 3 months. We divided groups into two, one using foam roller(13 subjects), and the other using recovering(13 subjects), measured and analyzed VAS, ODI, quality of life, thoracic spine mobility(ROM), flexibility, and drew several conclusions. First, VAS, ODI all decreased meaningfully in both recovering and foam roller according to the increase of exercise period. Second, quality of life increased significantly in both recovering and foam roller as exercise period rises. Third, on measurement in joint range of motion, as exercise period increases, Thoracic flexion, Thoraic rotation(L, R), flexibility all increased tangibly in both recovering and foam roller. To sum up our research conclusions, when we apply the self-fascia relaxation using foam roller and recovering to office working suffering chronic back pain, they all show positive effects on back pain, thoracic spine mobility improvement and decrease of functional waist pain disabilities. Also, in improving thoracic spine mobility, recovering shows better result than foam roller in stimulating and releasing trigger point and fast muscle, so it would be reasonable to use more recovering in implementation of props.
