Insertion training with computer acupuncture education system

As one of the series studies for the development of a computer training system for acupuncture, this paper deals with the construction of a system capable of quantitatively evaluating the training effect of the insertion technique. Precise insertions without pain require high technique obtained by repeated training and experience. However, the insertion technique has hardly been quantitatively analyzed in past times. In this study, the research for the development of a training system for a quantitative indexing of insertion operation in acupuncture has been done. The measurement and training system enabling the training of insert speed of needle were developed. Finally, the effect of developed system was confirmed by proof experiment.
