Optimization of Tuina rolling manipulation parameters to promote blood circulation using a circulatory orthogonal experiment.
Journal of Physical Therapy Science 2024 May
[Purpose] To determine the optimal Tuina rolling manipulation parameters for improving peripheral blood circulation and to observe the duration of these effects. [Participants and Methods] A total of 162 healthy males and 20 males with coronary heart disease were recruited, with a mean age of 29.5 ± 6.4 years. The change in blood flow was used as the observation index, and the best combination of parameters was selected using a cyclic orthogonal experiment. We observed changes in rolling manipulation across different time periods and groups. [Results] There were significant interactions between pressure, frequency and duration in the rolling manipulation. The combination mode of 4 kg, 120 repetitions/min and 10 min is the most effective to improve the average blood flow increase rate of popliteal artery. At 15 minutes after manipulation, different degrees of significant increase were observed, but 20 minutes after manipulation, the average blood flow rate returned to the premanipulation level. There was no difference in blood flow rate between healthy males and coronary heart disease patients. [Conclusion] An effective dynamic model of rolling manipulation was constructed. These results contradicted the idea that more pressure and longer continuous manipulation led to stronger effects. The effect of rolling manipulation on improving peripheral circulation can be maintained for 20 minutes.
