Abstract:
70 children (33 males, 37 female) from 6-14 years of age are randomly selected. The Nourometer RB type - 65 is used for the mesurement of the Neiguan (P6) current in tensity. The comparision between the current intensity at Neiguan and the neighbouring regions, between the two sex is made. The current intensity data of adult Neiguan is compared to our studied results. The correlation of the Neiguan point estimated distance and the height is calculated. It shows that the current average intensity is 94.54 +/- 16.7 mA (righ side) and 94.69 +/- 17.19 mA (left side). There is an significant difference of current intensity between the Neiguan Point and neighbouring regions (P< 0.001). The average data in the stied group is higher than in the adult (P<0.001). No significant difference of current intensity, area of point is shown in male and female, the left side and the right side (P>0.05). The correlation between the Neiguan estimated distance and the height is evident (r= 0.76)
