按摩模式对按摩椅气压按摩效应的实验研究

Experimental Study on Pressure-massage Modes and Effects of the Massage Chair

目的测试受试者在连续式、间断式和组合式三类模式下按摩前后的舒适性及按摩感受性,比较分析按摩模式对按摩椅气压按摩效应的影响。方法采用主观感受7级模拟量表测试16名受试者按摩前后小腿部位的主观感受。结果按摩后,舒适度会略有降低;受试者小腿的胀感变化最为明显,其次是酸感、热感和麻感;组合式按摩模式的按摩效应最为显著。结论气压按摩压力是按摩模式的重要影响因素。可以用胀感、酸感和麻感来衡量气压按摩效应。间断式按摩模式的短暂间歇对于气压按摩效应具有一定影响。组合式按摩模式不同压力组合的特性使延长按摩时间成为可能,以增强按摩效应。

Objective The aim of this study was to test the subjects＇massage comfort and feelings before and after the three modes of continuous,intermittent and combined pressure massage and to compare and analysis the influence of modes on pressure massage effects of the massage chair.Methods Sixteen subjects＇ subjective feelings of their lower legs were tested by using subjective feelings level 7 analog scales before and after massage.Results Comfort degree was slightly lower after the massage.The swelling sense of subjects＇lower legs was the most obvious,followed by acid sense,sensation sense and numbness sense.Effect of combined massage was the most significant.Conclusion Massage pressure was an important factor influencing the massage modes.The degrees of swelling sense,acid sense and numbness sense could be used to evaluate pressure massage effects.The short pause of intermittent massage had some influence on its effect.The property of different pressure of combined massage prolonging massage time possible,in order to enhance massage effects.
