The predecessors had summed up the systematic tuina manipulations through experiences. In order to study the scientificity and usability of the technology, the researchers established a mathematical model of tuina man ipulati ons, and used video tech no logy to capture the trajectory of the manipulations. Using the mechanical sensor to sense the real manipulations, researchers developed a tuina manipulation in strument and obtained a lot of basic mecha nics data about the man ipulati on tech no logy. Through the summary of the research results of the predecessors, accurate, true and comprehe nsive mecha nical parameters of tech no logy of tuina manipulations were obtained to guide the research and development of instruments of tuina manipulations, and promote the development of the discipline of tuina scienee.展开更多
