A new attempt for objective description of pulse diagnosis / 全日本鍼灸学会雑誌

ABSTRACT

Pulses were taken by using three sensors, one of whitch was put on top of the index finger, another on the middle finger and the last on the ring finger.<br>Pulses were taken from patients and normal subjects and were described as pressure pulse waves.<br>The pressure of the tips of fingers when doing a pulse diagnosis was measure for seven chinese doctors. Consequently, we confirmed that the pressure was distributed widely and the technique of pulse diagnosis included a lot of individual factors.<br>On the other hand, we found several pressure pulse waves were significant in relation to findings of pulse diagnosis.
