Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of stimulation conditions (pressing force and frequency) and subcutaneous tissue properties (thickness and hardness) on the changes in tendon blood circulation caused by acupressure. Before and after acupressure, blood circulation of the Achilles tendon was measured using red laser lights. Acupressure was applied to the Achilles tendon for 3-min under three conditions. The following four conditions (including no stimulation condition) with different combinations of pressing forces and frequencies were established: 1) 50N and 1.5Hz, 2) 25
