| dc.description.abstract | This study conducts an in-depth investigation into a group suspected of experiencing shoulder, neck, and upper back pain and inflammation due to fascial adhesion. Corresponding diagnostic and therapeutic analyses are performed for each case based on cupping and light therapy data. The study emphasizes three main components: diagnosis, treatment, and testing. The diagnostic part utilizes a testing system to assist in manual palpation and visual examination, providing subjects with an understanding of their body conditions. The treatment section combines cupping and light therapy devices to address various experimental elements. The testing segment involves recording temperature, hardness, and changes in cupping marks. The entire system is designed with these three components.
In Taiwan, the majority of people are right-handed, and the subjects in this study are no exception. Analysis from the posture detection system shows that 80% of participants exhibit a condition where the left shoulder is higher than the right, likely attributed to prolonged poor posture. The occurrence of the opposite, left lower and right higher, is often a temporary phenomenon after muscle relaxation post-treatment. However, the issue of tilt persists post-treatment, potentially due to localized treatment of shoulder, neck, and upper back muscles, neglecting overall posture adjustment and therapy, leading to potential imbalance factors.
Subsequent observations reveal that the majority of subjects are right-handed. Through analyzing frontal images of each subject, understanding the deviation angles of the shoulders and pelvis provides insights into the stiffness and sore points in localized muscle groups, possibly arising from habitual lifestyle factors. The entire system offers observations of data changes before and after cupping and light therapy for fascial adhesion in experimental subjects, facilitating the exploration of the optimal treatment approach. | en_US |
