How to train acupuncture point positioning in acupuncture leg training model?

Acupuncture leg training model is an indispensable tool in TCM acupuncture teaching, especially plays a key role in acupuncture point positioning training. Here are detailed steps on how to perform acupuncture point positioning training using the acupuncture leg training model:

1. Prepare

Select the model: Make sure that the selected acupuncture leg training model is made according to the standard model of the human body and has a high degree of simulation. A variety of acupoints should be designed on the model, such as Fenglong, Zusanli, Yinlingquan, Yanglingquan, etc., to meet the needs of acupoint knowledge learning and acupuncture training.

Prepare tools: In addition to the acupuncture leg training model, you also need to prepare acupuncture needles, special LED flashlights (if the model has recessive marked points), disinfection of alcohol, etc.

2. Acupoint location method

Observe the model: First, carefully observe the acupuncture leg training model to understand the location of acupuncture points and meridians marked on the model. These points and meridians are usually made with lettering or recessive markings.

Use a flashlight: If the acupoints on the model are recessive marks, you can use a special LED flashlight to illuminate the model to make the recessive marks appear.

Combined with the positioning method: reference to the modern clinical commonly used point positioning and point selection methods, such as bone degree folding method, body surface sign method and finger comparison method, to assist the location of acupoints. For example, the Zusanli acupoint is located on the anterolateral side of the calf, when the calf is 3 inches below the nose and a cross finger from the leading edge of the tibia.

3. Acupoint positioning training steps

Disinfection: Before the acupuncture point positioning training, the model and acupuncture needles should be disinfected with disinfection alcohol to ensure the sterility of the operation.

Positioning: Use a flashlight or observe the engraved marks on the model to find the exact acupuncture point to be located. At the same time, the above acupoint positioning methods can be combined to ensure the accuracy of positioning.

Acupuncture: After determining the location of acupuncture points, acupuncture exercises are performed using acupuncture needles. Pay attention to the Angle, depth and force of acupuncture to simulate the real operation of acupuncture.

Feedback: After finishing the acupuncture, observe the effect and feeling of the acupuncture, and adjust the acupuncture method and technique according to the feedback.

4. Precautions

When conducting acupuncture point positioning training, it is necessary to ensure the safety and standardization of the operation.

Care is taken to keep the model clean and maintained to avoid damage or contamination.

Acupoint positioning training requires repeated practice and practice to improve accuracy and proficiency.
