A New-Type Acupuncture Model Based on STM32 ()
ABSTRACT
Background: The foundation of this acupuncture model
is to solve the lack of experimental teaching model and student’s inadequate
ability to identify acupoints in the teaching of acupuncture and moxibustion in
traditional Chinese medicine. Methods: In this model we use modern materials to
simulate human arms and combination with electronic engineering to create a
“Modern Version of Acupuncture Man” and select 2015 undergraduates of
Traditional Chinese Medicine School in
Jinan University as the research object, to divide those students into two
teaching mode which is using acupuncture models or not, to compare their
mastery of the acupoint names and position. Results: After the three times
different mode teaching and have a test,
the average score of using models group was much higher than traditional
teaching mode groups (p < 0.05). And all the
students expressed that using the model teaching and investigation could better
grasp the location and depth of acupoints and enhance their ability of identifying acupoints. Conclusions: The
acupuncture models beneficial to the training the acupuncture of Traditional
Chinese Medicine students, and also it can make the
theory of acupuncture more “Standardization” and “Visualization”.
