Abstract:
The study was carried out in 102 children (52 males, 50 females). The investigatived parameters were the Hegu’s location, the intensity, and the relation between the area of point and dermic area. The results are following: The Hegu in 58 - 66% children in the same location and 42% of them had different location (about 2.2- 2.8mm) in comparision between two methods (traditional medicine’s method and used neurometer, RB - 65 made in Japan). The intensity inside Hegu was 95- 100 A and the outside was 20-25 A. There was significiant difference between inside and outside of point (P< 0.001). There was no diffirence of the Hegu’s intensity between the males and females, the left and the rightside (P>0.05). Hegu is described as a round point, the area from 2.7-3.7mm2. There was no difference of Hegu’s area between the males and females (P>0.05). There was the crrelation between the area of point and the dermic area in both hands (r= 0.38 for males; r= 0.54 for females).
