Acupoint Stimulation Physical Therapy (ASPT) is a treatment method that applies the theory of meridian method in acupuncture and moxibustion medicine. In this study, we compared the excitability of spinal motor nerve function before and after pressure stimulation of two acupoints, LU5 and LU6, of the hand lunar lung meridian, which passes over the Thenar muscle, using F waves. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in spinal motor nerve function between proximal and distal acupoints on the same meridian when physiotherapy was applied to the acupoints. The results are available. The results are available at no statistical difference was found between post0, post5, post10, and post15 during ASPT. LU6, like the LU5, is located on the skin in the 6th cervical spinal cord region, and stimulation of either acupuncture point may follow a similar pathway to affect spinal cord motor nerve function in the Thenar muscle. These results suggest that when physiotherapy with acupoint stimulation corresponding to the abductor pollicis brevis is performed, there is no difference in the inhibitory effect on muscle tone between the proximal and distal acupoints if the acupoints are on the same meridian.
