Reliabilität der energetischen Meridianmessung mit Prognos A(R)
Abstract:
Reliability of Energetic Meridian Measurement with Prognos A(R) OBJECTIVE: Is energetic measurement of the Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) meridians with Prognos A a reliable method? PATIENTS: 30 healthy volunteers from the staff of the Stauferklinik, Schwä bisch Gmü nd, Germany. DESIGN: Measuremeuts are taken 4 times from each person at all terminal locations of the meridians (24 points) on fingers and toes with Prognos A. Breaks between each measurement run lastet 2-5 min. The values of skin resistance are compared. RESULTS: Reliabilities of the single meridian measurements range between 0.44 and 0.82 with an overall reliability of 0.72. Lowest reliability is seen in yang -hollow organs, probably a due to their intense lability. Mediating of 4 single runs shows a reliability of 0.9. CONCLUSIONS: Our measurement of reliability confirms Prognos A as a reliable device of determinating skin resistance, especially with repeated measurements. Variations of the readings are probably due to the special quality of the meridian system; increased variations of special meridians seem to be explainable by their characteristic features defined in TCM.
