Location and stimulation appts. for body acupuncture points - uses probe moving along skin to detect points having lower ohmic resistance

摘要

The appts. contains a probe which is moved along the skin and measures the change of the skin resistivity. The acupuncture points, having a lower ohmic resistance, are thus easily and accurately detected. The appts. contains an amplifier, a warning device such as a pair of LED's connected to the output of the amplifier and a power supply. The sensitivity threshold of the amplifier is adjusted by an internal potentiometer and an external knob which is also used as a switch. The probe is connected to the input of the amplifier and its casing is connected to the amplifier earthing point.
