Q

Probing

A

using a blunt tip or head of a pin and lightly press against sire. Look for most tender spot. Prob with same pressure and same amount of time on all points

Q

Electrical resistance

A

look for areas with lowest resistance
- clean ear first; quiet room; test electrical strength first by placing the prob on the spinal cord point @ back of ear and increase current until slight stinging sensation occurs

Q

Electrical resistance considerations

A
  • colder weather causes greater resistance
  • age- younger pts have lower resistance
  • location- uterus, ub, li, esophagus, SJ, and endocrine have lower resistance and areas where overlying skin is soft have lower resistance (helix, tragus)
  • points probed for too long will have a decline in resistance
