The four-function acupoint model for the head is a specialized model for traditional Chinese acupuncture teaching that integrates teaching, training and practice. It is mainly used to demonstrate and train various operation functions of acupoints on the head, such as positioning, needling, pressing and electroacupuncture. The model is designed based on the anatomical proportions of a real person's head. Its surface accurately marks the commonly used meridian directions and acupoint locations of the head, such as Baihui, Taiyang, and Yintang, providing learners with intuitive and clear references. Through this model, beginners can become familiar with the distribution patterns of acupoints in an intuitive environment and deepen their memory and understanding in practice.
During the simulation exercise, learners can conduct diverse operation training with the help of this model. For example, use the needling function to familiarize oneself with the depth and Angle of needle insertion; Master the force of massage or tapping through the pressing function. Experience the modern application of acupoint stimulation in combination with the function of electroacupuncture; The durable design featuring needle pull-out and repetitive operations ensures long-term teaching needs. Compared with traditional picture books, this model not only provides clear visual positioning but also creates hands-on operation opportunities for learners, significantly enhancing the training effect.
The promotion of the four-function acupoint model for the head can effectively enhance the scientificity and standardization of acupuncture teaching, help students and practitioners accumulate experience in a risk-free environment, and thus lay a solid foundation for clinical practice.
