| Summary: | 碩士 === 長庚大學 === 醫療機電工程研究所 === 95 === The massage technique is a primary subject studied in the traumatic and orthopedics of traditional Chinese medicine. The massage technique is a natural treatment without any side effects. It is not invasive for human body and is commonly accepted by people. In recent years, it has been found that the technique has an improper condition because the massage may cause a serious complication. Several reports showed that Chinese medicine massage lacks the accuracy in quantification. The operator judges roughly the quantity of the massage technique according to the experience and the patient's response. It will influence further understanding in depth and curative effects in the massage technique.
According to relevant literature survey, the massage measuring apparatus exist in the market today can not be used directly on the human body. Therefore, it is not possible to find out the patient's impression immediately. Also according to literature survey in acupressure at acupuncture point, there is not a clear definition on the magnitude of acupressure.
Fifty five persons were used for testing in this study. Fourteen acupuncture including the “Shousanli、Neiguan、Zusanli、Shoutaiyin Feijingxue Points of Lung Meridian” were examined. We used the handy push-pull gauge to measure muscular pains threshold according to Age、Sex、Body Mass Index (BMI) and Girth on the statistical analysis and ration. This study designed and built the “Traditional Chinese Medicine Massage Technique and Acupressure at Acupuncture Points Training System” originally. It may help the medical doctor to make the treatment to the patient of different physique using different massage pressure. In general people can use DIY mode at home. Using training system match with “Pressure Sensor Glove”, the doctor can act on the human body directly while measuring the massage technique. Besides, this system can also help the medical school students and patients to practice more easily at home.
Due to different factor of statistical analysis, the doctor should consider Sex、BMI、Girth as the main parameter of pressure when the massage technique is used to treat patients, and the Age factor is used as the secondary parameter.
