Abstract

|
Objectives : The purpose of this study is to develop the method of selecting representative pulse wave.
Methods : The pulse waves were acquired at the right and the left Guan point(關部) with 1420 people who were apparently healthy. The shape agreement of right and left pulse wave and the floating-sinking ratio were compared with three cases, which were the pulse height based method, the pulse area based method, and the pulse time based method.
Results : In the point of the shape accordance, the pulse time based method was the best, and the pulse area based method was the worst. In the point of the floating-sinking ratio, the pulse height based method was the worst, and the pulse time based method was the best.
Conclusions : So, the pulse time based method was recommended for selecting the representative pulse wave. This study compared the selection methods of representative pulse using the physiological characteristics of pulse wave. Further studies are required, because the representative pulse wave is the main factor of determining the shape and the floating-sinking characteristic of the pulse wave.
