Abstract

<p>This study aimed to determine the effect of acupoint stimulation physical therapy (ASPT) of the acupuncture point Quze (PC3) on spinal motor neural function. We examined the F-wave excitability of the spinal neural function of 10 healthy participants following ASPT of Quze (PC3). We performed ASPT using two methods: applying pressure on Quze (PC3) vertically, and applying pressure obliquely toward the radius. The first method significantly decreased the F-wave persistence and the F/M amplitude ratio at 10 and 15 minutes after ASPT. The second method significantly decreased the F-wave persistence at 5 minutes and the F/M amplitude ratio at 5 and 10 minutes after ASPT. Therefore, we consider that ASPT of Quze (PC3) influences spinal motor neural function.</p>
