Patellofemoral joint dysfunction
TFL-iliotibial band 또는 gluteus maximus-iliotibial band의
short
Vastus medialis oblique의 불충분한 수행
Posterior gluteus medius의 불충분한 수행으로 TFL의 근활동

Korean Integrative Medicine Institute
Myofascial Meridian Stimulation Therapy
Postural Bowlegs & Postural Knock-Knees
A combination of medial rotation of the femurs, pronation of
the feet and hyperextension of the knees
A combination of lateral rotation of the femurs, supination of
the feet and hyperextension of the knees
Korean Integrative Medicine Institute
Myofascial Meridian Stimulation Therapy
Supinated Feet
The weight is borne on the outer borders of the
feet, and long arches are higher than normal.
Invert the feet -> anterior tibial muscle is
prominent

Shoulder approach
Scapulohumeral rhythm
Scapular movement and stabilization
Humerus anterior gliding
Hammer-rock test
Korean Integrative Medicine Institute
Myofascial Meridian Stimulation Therapy
Scapulohumeral rhythm
Shoulder abduction: occur between glenohumeral joint and
scapuothoracic articulation -> scapulohumeral rhythm
Glenohumeral joint : scapular = 2 : 1
Shoulder abduction with external rotation: greater tubercle
can go through posterior portion of acromion
Shoulder abduction with internal rotation: limitation of 60
degree
Korean Integrative Medicine Institute
Myofascial Meridian Stimulation Therapy
Impingement due to Scapulohumeral rhythm
During shoulder elevation or flexion, humerus를
lateral rotation -> impingement로 기인한 어깨 통증
이 제거
During shoulder flexion (180도), upwardly scapular
rotation이 45도의 abnormal rotation ->
impingement 유발

Depressed scapula
Upper Trapezius (long)
Contributing muscle: Petoralis major, latissimus

Shoulder pain (m/c)
During shoulder flexion and abduction: stress
glenohumeral joint and acromiclavicular joint in
malalignment

Adducted scapula
Rhomboid and Trapezius (short)
Serratus anterior (long)
Korean Integrative Medicine Institute
Myofascial Meridian Stimulation Therapy
Abducted scapula
In forntal plane, forward rotate above 30 degree
Glenoid (forward), humerus(seem to be internal rotation): not
correct internal rotation ->normal alignment
In abducted-rotated scapular alignment, cubital
fossa(forward) and normal humerus ->external rotation of
humerus(shortness of External rotator)
In abducted-rotated scapular alignment, shortness of
Serratus anterior and Pectoralis major(m/c)
Korean Integrative Medicine Institute
Myofascial Meridian Stimulation Therapy
Upwardly rotated scapula
Shortness of Trapezius
Korean Integrative Medicine Institute
Myofascial Meridian Stimulation Therapy
Tilted scapula
Shortness of Pectoralis minor(m/c)
Shortness of Biceps(short head):In scapula correction,
elbow(passive flexion) and shoulder(extension)
In scapula correction, shoulder joint maintaining flexion ->
Anterior Deltoid and Coracobrachialis: cause of tilted scapula
Korean Integrative Medicine Institute
Myofascial Meridian Stimulation Therapy
Winged scapula
Weakness of Serratus anterior(m/c)
Other causes: flat thoracic spine, rounded back,
scoliosis
In scoliosis, prominent asymmetry

Humerus anterior gliding
Pectoralis major가 subscapularis보다
더 우세.->PM short시 전방 활주

Anterior gliding
Humerus 근위부가 원위부 보다 더 앞에 있다.
극하근과 소원근이 상완골 하강근으로 작용
할 때 견갑하근보다 더 강하게 작용 ->외회
전 하강근이 더 우세해지면 후방관절낭을
더욱 stiffness있게 만듬

Hammer-rock test
Humeral abduction-Humeral medial rotation-Scapular
abduction and upward rotation
Restriction of These movements:
elongated tightness of pectoralis minor & wrist flexion or
extension muscle groups
Korean Integrative Medicine Institute
Myofascial Meridian Stimulation Therapy
Acromio-clavicular joint Pain
Serratus anterior가 적절한 기능을 못하면 scapula의 upward
rotation을 위해 trapezius가 작용 -> clavicle과 acromion에
compensatory stress
Rhomboids가 short -> trapezius가 upwardly rotated scapula
하기 위해서 acromio-clavicular joint에 overload of stress
Scapular downward rotation으로 기인.

Elbow approach
Tennis elbow:
elongated tightness of 5th Phalange flexion
elongated tightness of Wrist flexion
deviation of proximal radio-ulnar junction
Golfer’s elbow:
elongated tightness of 1st Phalange flexion
elongated tightness of Wrist extension

Goals of Treatment in the MMST
improvement of
autonomic nervous dysfunction
maintenance of
myofascial meridian balance
restoration of
segmental dysfunction
Korean Integrative Medicine Institute
Myofascial Meridian Stimulation Therapy
1.Improvement of autonomic
nervous dysfunction
use sympathetic switch points and
parasympathetic switch points
Korean Integrative Medicine Institute
Myofascial Meridian Stimulation Therapy
2.maintenance of myofascial
meridian balance
use meridian points selected by the
Myofascial Meridian Test (MMT) applying
similarity between myofascial lines and
meridian muscle lines
Korean Integrative Medicine Institute
Myofascial Meridian Stimulation Therapy
3.Restoration of segmental
dysfunction
use SomatoSomatic Points (SSP) and
SomatoVisceral Points (SVP)
