Abstract:
The study was carried out in 217 persons (129 males, 88 females). The investigative parameters were: the hegu's location, the intensity, the area, the relation between the area of point and the dermal area. The results showed that the hegu in 30-34% persons was in the same location and 60-68% of them had different location (about 3-4.5mm) in comparison between two methods (traditional medicine's method and used Neurometer, RB-65 made in Japan). The intensity inside hegu was 111.1913.46A and the outside was 10.138.23A. There was significant difference between inside and outside of point (P<0.001). There was no difference of the intensity between the left and the right hand (P>0.05). Hegu is described as a round point, the mean area was 5.011.40mm2. There was no difference between males and females (P>0.05). There was no the correlation between the area of point and the dermal area in both hands and sex (r = 0.25 for males, r=0.15 for females).
