Abstract:
Objective:To construct a meridian tapping exercise program for frail elderly, so as to provide daily healthcare options for frail elderly people.Methods:Guided by the theory of meridians and collaterals, data mining was conducted on the database of ancient Chinese medical literature to select acupoints and meridians for tapping. Through literature research, the exercise prescription was improved. A preliminary exercise prescription was formulated through literature review and revised through two rounds of expert consultation in December 2023.Results:The effective response rate for both rounds of expert consultation questionnaires was 7/7. The expert authority coefficients were 0.83 and 0.87, respectively, and the overall Kendall′s coefficient of concordance was 0.301 and 0.302 (both P<0.05). The final meridian tapping exercise for frail elderly comprised 2 primary indicators, 8 secondary indicators, and 23 tertiary indicators. Conclusions:The meridian tapping exercise for the frail elderly is scientific, reliable and practical, which can provide a choice for the frail elderly to carry out targeted traditional Chinese medicine exercises.
