Abstract: We compared the results of heating the joint and of applying the Hot-spike and electric stimulus to the YUSEN and SANINKO points to disperse the fluid at the Knee.
The tests with the points resulted in little change in the fluid level at the Knee.
This time we measured the circumference of the Knee. A therapist established the standard measuring method, and tried to make the error decrease.
While they were observing the circumference of the Knee, they would not allow anyother medical treatments or any movement by the patient.
