Abstract:
Rolling manipulation is one of the swing techniques with strong operational skills in massage therapy. This article summarized the biomechanical parameters and mechanism of the massage operation from multiple perspectives, including three-dimensional motion, force trajectory, dynamic parameters, force effect relationship, and mechanism. It is found that the massage operation could exert force in the vertical and horizontal directions of the body surface, and the movement trajectories of the front and back were generally symmetrical. The anterior force was approximately three times the retraction force, and the brachioradialis, pectoralis major, triceps, and deltoids were the main muscles that could exert force during manual manipulation. The method can have effects on hemodynamics, cellular anti-inflammatory effects, and improve the physiological function of tissues and organs. However, there is currently a lack of objective and unified norms and standards for the specific strength, frequency, and specific parameter combinations of massage methods, so the further improvement is still needed.
