The clinical significance of the foot acupuncture model is mainly reflected in three aspects: teaching, training and clinical promotion. This model is designed based on the anatomical structure of the human foot and the distribution of meridians and acupoints. It comprehensively showcases commonly used acupoints such as Yongquan, Taichong, Zusanli, and Sanyinjiao, which can help learners systematically master the meridian flow and acupoint location methods of the foot.
In the teaching process, the foot acupuncture model enables students to intuitively understand the distribution pattern of acupoints on the feet. Through repeated operation practice, it improves the accuracy of positioning and the depth of memory, avoiding the risk of directly operating on patients at the initial learning stage. For the simulation training of basic techniques such as needling and pressing, this model provides a safe and controllable environment, thereby helping students establish correct operation habits.
From a clinical perspective, foot acupuncture is widely used in the treatment of internal medicine, gynecology, neurology and pain-related diseases. The foot acupuncture model can provide standardized operation references for clinicians and students, enhancing the safety and effectiveness in actual treatment. Meanwhile, this model also plays a significant role in academic exchanges and the promotion of traditional Chinese medicine culture, enabling learners from different backgrounds to quickly understand the theoretical and practical value of foot acupuncture.
Therefore, the foot acupuncture model is not only an auxiliary tool for learning and training, but also an important carrier for promoting the standardization and internationalization of traditional Chinese acupuncture.
