摘要
The experiments were applied on 66 rabbits. While massage was applied on six acu-points, such as Heyang (UB 55) , Xiguan (Liv 7) , and others on legs with the manipulations of finger pres-sure and finger kneading, the massage-evoked potentiogram on the nerve cutaneus posterior femoralisand the nerve gastrocnemius medialis were obtained. The massageevoked potentiogram synchronizedwith massage evoked impulses and varied with different manipulations. All four groups of afferent fiberscontained in nerve cutaneous posterior femoralis and nerve gastrocnemius medialis were involved in con-ducting the impulses caused by the two manipulations. These results indicate that the massage manipula-tions have regular influence on the activities of both the sensitive tissues in acupoints and the somatic af-ferent nerves. Therefore, the results will scientifically enrich the application of massotherapy as far asmanipulations are concerned. Furthermore, the results suggest vast vistas for the systematical study otthe mechanism of massage trom the neurobiological view-point.
