Abstract

Traditional physiotherapy of Chinese medicine, represented by acupuncture and directed by the theory of Chinese medicine, has been improved during its modernization and has become an embryo of modern information physiotherapy. This is a recent achievement of modernization of Chinese medicine, which can be correlated with and complement the mechanical physiotherapy and energy physiotherapy in Western medicine, providing a new system for physiotherapy and creating some conditions for integrating Chinese medicine and Western medicine in terms of science and technology. The system of information physiotherapy needs the technology corporation of therapeutic techniques and effect appraising methods that can be tested and quantified. The therapeutic system consists of electric information therapy (through meridian windows), He-He therapy (based on field effects) and spectrum therapy), while the effect appraising system includes the meridian impedance test, the organ infrared test, and the qi-blood brain image test. The efficacy of both systems has been proven in the cure of some common diseases, such as children myopia, cervical spondylosis, calculosis, astriction, damages of limbs and trunk as well as cerebral palsy. The foundation of the system is information medicine that is based on information tests for meridians, organs, and qi-blood, involving three physiological functions: qi activity, transformation, and catharsis; three pathological mechanisms: deficiency, disorder, and toxin; three cures: tonification, regulation, and purgation. Apart from knowledge propagating, technique training, and environmental protection, the establishment of information physical medicine will solve the contradiction between large scale and individualization in the standard-setting Chinese medicine industry and clear the way for the modernization of Chinese medicine.
