Some characteristic problems in body shape including bowleg(or knocked knee) are always co-existing Problems especially in buttock / thigh / abdomen / leg

Body shape & Bowleg

W w w . S t y l e x . C o . K r – W w w . E d b e a u . C o m

• bowleg

• tummy tuck

• sagging buttock

• outer thigh saddle bag

Many problems in body shape have one and the same cause The internal rotation of the femur at the hip joint

Shortening of ligaments of the fore part of the hip joint(ilofemoral ligament & pubofemoral ligament)

Contracture of ligaments of the fore part of the hip joint causes internal rotation of femur Posture of sitting on the floor or chair induces the ligament contracture by hip joint flexion

Body shape & Bowleg

W w w . S t y l e x . C o . K r – W w w . E d b e a u . C o m

Internal rotation of the femur caused by the shortened ligaments makes the forces directing outward at the knee joint

Stretching of the ligaments permits neutral position of the femur and reduces the outward directing forces

In standing position, shortened ligaments rotates the femur inwardly and inclines the pelvis forwardly

Internal rotation of Femur & Body shape

W w w . S t y l e x . C o . K r – W w w . E d b e a u . C o m

When femur rotates, the soft tissue of back area moves outward Thick fat tissue under buttock moves outward and causes saddle bag in thigh and hip sagging Calf muscle moves outward and causes bowleg and pudgy leg

Internal rotation of Femur & Body shape

W w w . S t y l e x . C o . K r – W w w . E d b e a u . C o m

When femur rotates internally, pelvis inclines forward Pelvis inclination pushes internal organs forward and causes tummy tuck Pelvis inclination increases lumbar lordosis to keep balance and cause low back symptom

Internal rotation of Femur & Body shape

Stretching of iliofemoral, pubofemoral lig.

Normal and ideal body shape can be restored by stretching of the ligaments of fore part of the hip joint strengthening of the external rotator muscles of the hip joint

Correction of Internal rotation of Femur

Strengthening of external rotator muscle group of the hip jointInternal Rotation Contracture of the hip joint vs. Flexion Contracture of the

Medical development associated with STYLEX

1997 the world 1st discovery : ‘Internal rotation of femur at the hip joint cause bowleg’ Kyung-Bae Seo, M.D. Hallym bowleg clinic

1998 the Korea 1st case report in Korea Physical medicine & Rehabilitation Association (Seoul, Koreaa) : Non-Operative treatment of adult genu varum

2001 the world 1st case report in International Society of Physical & Rehabilitation

Medicine (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) : Non-Operative treatment of adult genu varum

2005 case report in Korea Physical medicine & Rehabilitation Association (Seoul, Koreaa) : The Clinical Application of STYLEX for correction of genu varum

2008 lecture in Korean Academy of Aesthetic medicine(Seoul, Korea) : STYLEX and Body Shaping effect

FOOTBOARD EXERCISE - active resistive strengthening exercise of external rotator muscles of hip joint - external rotation of footboard strengthens external rotator muscles of hip joint because ankle joint and knee joint have no rotation component - individual adjustable step of resistance

KNEE COMPONENT EXERCISE

- passive stretching exercise of ligaments- ligament stretching of fore part of hip joint via external rotation of distal femur

STYLEX overview

- Average using period of 5 months (at least 3 days per 1 week)- 20min ~ 1hour per day
