The Influencing Factors And Mechanics Analysis Of The Manipulation Of Pressing In Palms On The Thoracic Vertebrae

The manipulation of pressing in palms on the thoracic vertebrae, a concrete movement of pressing manipulation, is one of the frequently used massages in clinic. Due to its simple movement which is easy to master and great curative effect, it has been applied widely until now in clinic and it boasts obvious curative effect in treating thoracic vertebrae diseases such as thorax-lumbar facet joint disorder. However, it is still not clear-cut and systematic in aspects like definition, classification, assortment, concrete movement, etc, and there haven't been any reports of quantity research domestically. The fundamental requirements about massage in massage textbook and treatise are: even, gentle, durable, forceful, deep and thorough. These semi-qualitative requirements are ambiguous. Nevertheless, during the pressing manipulation, there is no exact quantity standard at present about these requirements. When pressing takes place, whether the pressure between the hands of operator and the massaged position of the patient is in line with the massage requirements is quite subjective. The quantitative norms, such as the massage force between the two soft tissues, is the key mechanic factors which can disclose these quantitative relationship, and it is the checking difficulty as well. It's the standardized and technical massage that can be called massage. There aren't many such researches. Only a small part of researches focus mainly on the biological mechanics and anatomy of thoracic...
