Introduction: This case study applied the Dahn Taekwondo Spondylitis Improvement Program (DTSIP) to a 30-year-old male with ankylosing spondylitis five times a week for 28 weeks. Materials and Methods: A 32-year-old male with ankylosing spondylitis underwent the Dahn Taekwondo Spondylitis Improvement Program (DTSIP), an amalgamated program of standard Western medicine practices and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) exercises based in the oriental medicine practices of yoga and taekwondo. The subject performed the DTSIP 5 times a week for 90 minutes for 28 weeks. Results: First, blood C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and platelet levels decreased by approximately 29-71%. Second, blood leukocyte counts decreased by about 11%. Third, as a result of Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI) measurement, tragus to wall (TWD), lumbar side flexion (LSF), LF (lumbar flexion), and intermalleolar distance (IMD) were improved substantially. The students’ cervical vertebrae and thoracic and lumbar vertebrae ranges of motion were additionally improved. The range of motion of the shoulder and hip joint improved. Conclusions: Therefore, the DTSIP seems to have a positive effect on the inflammation, immune functions, and spine and joint range of motion in the subject of this case study. Future studies are required with a wider sample population to validate these results.

Dahn跆拳道脊柱炎改善计划对强直性脊柱炎的培训效果：案例研究

简介：本案例研究将Dahn跆拳道脊柱炎改善计划（DTSIP）应用于一名30岁的男性，患有强直性脊柱炎，每周两次，共28周。材料和方法：患有强直性脊柱炎的32岁男性接受了Dahn跆拳道脊柱炎改善计划（DTSIP），该计划是标准西医实践与基于东方医学瑜伽实践的补充和替代医学（CAM）练习的合并计划和跆拳道。受试者每周进行5次DTSIP，持续90分钟，持续28周。结果：首先，血液C反应蛋白（CRP），红细胞沉降率（ESR）和血小板水平下降了约29-71％。第二，血液白细胞计数减少约11％。第三，巴斯强直性脊柱炎计量指数（BASMI）的测量结果显示，耳屏至墙（TWD），腰侧屈曲（LSF），LF（腰椎屈曲）和趾间距离（IMD）显着改善。进一步改善了学生的颈椎以及胸椎和腰椎的运动范围。肩膀和髋关节的运动范围得到改善。结论：因此，在本案例研究中，DTSIP似乎对炎症，免疫功能以及脊柱和关节活动范围具有积极作用。需要对更多的样本人群进行进一步的研究以验证这些结果。进一步改善了学生的颈椎以及胸椎和腰椎的运动范围。肩膀和髋关节的运动范围得到改善。结论：因此，在本案例研究中，DTSIP似乎对炎症，免疫功能以及脊柱和关节活动范围具有积极作用。需要对更多的样本人群进行进一步的研究以验证这些结果。进一步改善了学生的颈椎以及胸椎和腰椎的运动范围。肩膀和髋关节的运动范围得到改善。结论：因此，在本案例研究中，DTSIP似乎对炎症，免疫功能以及脊柱和关节活动范围具有积极作用。需要对更多的样本人群进行进一步的研究以验证这些结果。
