Abstract
If there occurs a certain trouble in the brain developing to cerebral palsy upon birth of one's life as a human being, a handicapped child has to expect his painful way of living throughont his whole life.
Out of 55 due to asphyxia in 9 years.
Serious cases: Results of the treatment can hardly be judged with 40 children.
Moderate cases: 15 children marked improvement to remission or to the normal life was noted.
To achieve any improvement in functional disablement in the handicapped, it is essential to ensure early detection and the continuity of appropriate remedial training and therapy in and from the early stage.
New Points: “Ko”-I and “Ko”-II
These are the new points discovered by the author out of her experiences being a physically handicapped person by herself. There are many acupuncturists who are eager to treat the handicapped children, but those who refrain from doing so are also noted in no small numbers. The author did her best to have both the therapists and patients independent in displaying clinically the power of acupuncture and moxibustion treatments unobtainable by modern medical treatments. The field of acupuncture treatment for children is complicated and difficult, but the author appreciates for the occasion letting her challenge every feasiblity to save the living power of children far predictable by the adults.
