Lee Bong-ju, who appeared on KBS 1TV 'Morning Madang', which aired on the 14th, said "I'm back in front of you in good health after four years."
Lee Bong-ju, who was diagnosed with a incurable disease called 'muscular tension abnormalities' in 2020, has deteriorated his health to the extent that he has been in a wheelchair due to his bent head and bent back.
Lee Bong-ju has suffered a lot for four years. I couldn't even walk on my own and had to rely on a cane. I moved in a wheelchair, always leaning on my wife's shoulders"It's a lot better now. Last year, I completed 5km in four years," he said. He then added, `When I was sick, I was desperate to run with my body even for 30 minutes, but now I climb and run for an hour or two every morning.'
Lee Bong-joo's overcoming 'muscle tension abnormality' is a neurological disease in which abnormal posture or muscle twisting occurs continuously regardless of one's will. If these symptoms come to the neck, they are classified as oblique, and if they come to the eye, they are classified as blepharotomy. It can appear throughout the body, such as soft vocal disturbance and muscular tension in the limbs.
In the early stages, symptoms are mild, so they are often thought of as insignificant. Blinking eyes, eyelid cramps, and neck keeps turning or pulling to one side, and the frequency or degree becomes worse as time passes.
It was classified as a rare incurable disease because tests often show no major problems, but now a treatment has been established and it can be effectively managed if an accurate diagnosis is made in the early stages. It is known that diagnosis is possible through specialist treatment and electromyography.
In general, drugs such as anticholinergics and Botox administration treatments are used, and symptoms are controlled through deep brain stimulation that applies electrical stimulation by inserting electrodes into specific areas of the brain.
