This study was envisaged to screen the best combination of parameters (time, force and frequency) in the operation of the Tuina rolling manipulation by using the L9(34) orthogonal design experiment, and to experimentally verify the mechanism of promoting qi and blood circulation. The Tactilus 4.0 so...
