ABSTRACT

Massage manipulation is a commonly used clinical treatment method, but there is a lack of simple, intuitive, and highly visual research methods. There are various forms of operation of the same technique, with varying effects. Motion capture technology can track the motion trajectory of marked objects in three-dimensional space, and analyze their motion patterns by collecting, recording, and measuring the kinematic and biomechanical parameters of the objects. The emergence of this technology makes it possible to quantify factors such as the size, direction, time, and speed of force in manual operations. It also makes the research on massage techniques shift from subjectivity and experience to standardization, visualization, and objectification, and becomes the basis for massage techniques. It has laid an extremely important foundation for its clinical promotion and inheritance.
