PURPOSE: Flexibility and range of motion are very important factors in sports performance, rehabilitation, and musculoskeletal pain. The purpose of this study was to measure the effects of cupping therapy on flexibility, muscle activity, and pain threshold of hamstring muscle compared to passive stretching in healthy subjects. METHODS: Thirty healthy subjects were randomly assigned in a crossover design to cupping therapy and passive stretching. Subjects were tested to compare their effects according to the intervention such as Passive range of motion (PROM) (straight leg raising) and active range of motion (AROM). And algometer (pain) testing and MVC assessment using EMG were performed as dependent variables. RESULTS: The cupping therapy group and passive stretching group showed significant differences in all variables including PROM (p=.00, p=.00), AROM (p=.00, p=.03), Pain Threshold (p=.03, p=.08), Semitendinosus MVC (p=.01, p=.00), and Biceps femoris MVC (p=.01, p=.16). There were no significant differences between the two groups in all variables. CONCLUSION: These findings of this study suggested that cupping therapy has as much positive effect on flexibility, pain threshold, and muscle contraction as passive stretching. Also, it is more convenient and easier to work on patients than passive stretching. Therefore, cupping therapy should be considered as another option to treat range of motion, pain, and muscle activity in the clinical field.

문제 정의
The aim of this study is to measure the effects of cupping therapy on flexibility, muscle activity, and pain threshold of hamstring muscle compared to passive stretching. It was evident from findings of this study that cupping therapy has as much positive effect on flexibility, pain threshold, and muscle contraction as passive stretching.

, 2006). Accordingly, the assessment was conducted in this study after a 5-minute application of cupping therapy with the use of a flame.
After pre-test, subjects were randomly divided into cupping therapy group and passive stretching group by coin-tossing method. Three physical therapists with greater than 3 years' experience conducted stretching and cupping therapy intervention and each of the four testing sessions under the same environmental conditions.
Future study is needed using various cupping therapy techniques and ROM evaluation that combines cupping therapy and exercise. Moreover, a study of whether longterm application of cupping therapy has an effect on not only physical and physiological parameters but also on psychological aspects and quality of life should also be conducted.
In order to evaluate the effect of MFD (Myofascial Decompression, cupping) and passive stretching on ROM, pain threshold, and muscle activity of hamstring muscles, this study was conducted with 15 normal adults without musculoskeletal disorders. There was a significant increase in ROM after the intervention with both cupping therapy and passive stretching.
PROM and AROM testing were conducted. PROM was conducted with the subject in supine position on a medical bed.
In order to verify treatment efficacy of cupping therapy and passive stretching, a pre and posttest were conducted. ROM, algometer, and MVC tests were conducted before and after the intervention.
The subjects of this study were 30 healthy males and females in their 20s and 30's who were students attending S University in Seoul. The subjects voluntarily agreed to participate in the experiment, and those without lower limb muscle pain, restriction in range of motion (ROM), backache, disc disease, or an open wound at surface electromyogram (SEMG) attachment sites were selected. The characteristics of subjects are shown in Table 1.
The passive stretching group was treated with a passive stretching for 10 seconds and repeated 9 times. Then, a post test was conducted after ether cupping therapy or passive stretching, in a manner similar to that of the pretest. Passive range of motion (PROM) (straight leg raising), active range of motion (AROM), and algometer (pain) testing, and MVC assessment using EMG were performed as dependent variables.
After 1 week of washout period, following a pretest, subjects were switched to the other group. Then, a posttest was conducted, in a manner similar to that of the pretest (Fig. 1).
, 2013; Hanan and Eman, 2013), there is a lack of studies on changes in muscle length, muscle activity, and pain thresholds. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to measure and compare the change in flexibility, muscle activity, and pain threshold in hamstring muscle with application of cupping therapy and static stretching.

The subjects of this study were 30 healthy males and females in their 20s and 30's who were students attending S University in Seoul.
Wireless EMG electrodes were attached to the semitendinosus (ST) and biceps femoris (BF) with the subject in prone position on a medical bed. Before attachment of electrodes, hair at the attachment area was removed, and the keratin layer was removed to reduce impedance to the myoelectric signal by rubbing; electrodes were then attached after cleansing the skin 3-4 times with a sterilized alcohol swab.

05. In order to compare the differences between the 2 groups before experiment for homogeneity verification, an independent t-test was conducted. Normality was verified by conducting a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for the 2 groups.
Normality was verified by conducting a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for the 2 groups. The differences between the groups were compared with an independent parametric t-test, and a paired t-test was used to compare results for ROM, pain, and EMG before and after intervention in the experiment and control groups.
성능/효과
It has also been suggested that muscle strength may have an influence on adaptation of serial sarcomere numbers, and that an increase in serial sarcomere numbers has an influence on muscle strength (Koh, 1995). It can be surmised that the flexibility generated by cupping therapy and passive stretching in this study had an effect on sarcomeres and that an increase in muscle activity was followed by an improved sarcomere environment with an increased serial sarcomere number. Additionally Report of Coutinho suggests that muscle fiber performance may be enhanced by an increase in the number of muscle fibers and the cross-sectional area of the muscle fibers after muscle stretching (Coutinho et al.
The aim of this study is to measure the effects of cupping therapy on flexibility, muscle activity, and pain threshold of hamstring muscle compared to passive stretching. It was evident from findings of this study that cupping therapy has as much positive effect on flexibility, pain threshold, and muscle contraction as passive stretching. The cupping therapy could be a new clinical method to improve range of motion and it also could be an alternative tool for patients who cannot conduct the stretching exercise.
