Abstract

Object: The study aimed to evaluate the improvement of circulation through the relationship between the change in acupoint temperature and the amplitude of neck joint movement after implementing the method of neck joint movement 3 times, 5 times in Traditional Medicine at the Ho Chi Minh Hospital  for Rehabilitation and Professional Diseases. Research subjects and methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study from March 2024 to June 2024. The study collected samples with 60 healthy volunteers from 18 years old who met the sampling criteria and did not meet the exclusion criteria at the Ho Chi Minh Hospital for Rehabilitation - Professional diseases. They had the ROM of the cervical spine joints measured using the body axis measurement and the acupoint temperature of the neck area using a FLIR C5 infrared thermometer. Result: he results showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the parameters measuring the temperature amplitude of the neck joint in pairs of groups of 3 times and 5 times (p > 0.05). Strong and very strong correlation between temperature change and movement amplitude change before and after exercising the neck joint 3 times and 5 times, respectively. There was a rate of 13.33% of unwanted effects in the group of 5 times Conclusion: Safe movement of the neck joints on healthy people increases ROM, increases the temperature of acupoints in the neck area, the strong correlation between the ROM of joint movement and the temperature of acupoints in the neck area partly increases circulation to theneck joint. Choosing a group that exercises the neck joint 3 times should be recommended to start exercising to help increase the range of motion of the neck joint.
