Palpation Case Study
• Lecturer demonstrates palpation of leg yin channels on a student volunteer.
• Perhaps someone with knee, ankle or other leg problems may be willing to participate.
• Lecturer describes what is felt on palpation.
• With your “patient’s” permission students can feel for abnormal findings on channel.
• Discuss what these might mean clinically.
© Endeavour College of Natural Health www.endeavour.edu.au 33
Group Work - Palpation Case Study
• After gathering information from palpation, break into small groups.
• Determine which channel/s are affected.
• What treatment strategy will you use? o Affected primary channel or sinew
o Interior/exterior related channel
o Luo – connecting channel
• Why have you chosen this strategy?
(i.e. Give rationale)
• Report back to the class as a whole.
