Study on some characteristics of Hegu (L14) in persons of age of 15-24

ABSTRACT

The study was carried out in 217 persons (129 males, 88 females). The investigative parameters were the hegu's location, the intensity, the area, the relation between the area of point and the dermal area. The results showed that the hegu in 30-34% persons was in the same location and 60-68% of them had different location (about 3-4.5mm) in comparison between two methods (traditional medicine's method and used Neurometer, RB-65 made in Japan). The intensity inside hegu was 111.1913.46A and the outside was 10.138.23A. There was significant difference between inside and outside of point (P0.05). Hegu is described as a round point, the mean area was 5.011.40mm2. There was no difference between males and females (P>0.05). There was no the correlation between the area of point and the dermal area in both hands and sex (r = 0.25 for males, r=0.15 for females).
