Quantification of anti-vertigo effect by Tuina manipulation and its mechanism / 医用生物力学

ABSTRACT

Tuinan manipulation is one of common non-surgical treatment methods for the cervical vertigo, with a good anti-vertigo effect. However, the key factor affecting efficacy of cervical vertigo is the manipulation force (including force size, time, frequency), which is lack of Objective quantification criteria. There is still not any unified statement about the mechanism of anti-vertigo effect. In this study, based on the summary of previous research work, the shortcomings of current research are analyzed, and a possible solution for manipulation quantification is suggested, and normalization, standardization as well as the mechanism of nerve centers are also investigated.
