Abstract

|
|
Objectives: This study was performed to investigate about clinical application of the Meridian Muscle Electrography(經筋電圖) based on the Meridian Muscle Theory and Electromyography principles.
Methods: To draw a plan for clinical application of the Meridian Muscle Electrography and reveal a theoretical relevance between the Meridian Muscle Theory and EMG principles, I had researched various sources such as oriental medicine textbooks, documents on internet, medical journals and books.
Results and Conclusions:
1. Electromyography(EMG), one of the neurophysiological diagnostic tool, is widely used in the clinical field of neuromuscular system.
2. The twelve-Meridian muscle theory is made by classifying the whole muscle with making reference to the Medridian system.
3. The concept of meridan muscle reported in the 《Huangdi-Naijing(黃帝內經)》include muscle, tendon, superficial vein and nerve. In《Kyung Keun(經筋)》, it means muscle and tendon.
4. The theoretical basis of Meridian Muscle Electrography is explained by common interests between Electromyography and Meridian muscle theory.
5. Meridian Muscle Electrography is useful in the field of Kyungkuen Chuna(經筋推拿) for diagnosis of pain disorders, identification of Meridian muscle that causes pain and discrimination between muscle disease and perineal nerve disorders ; Doin Chuna(運動推拿) for assessment of motor neuron disease, motor function and research about efficacy of physical theraphy.
