A Proposal for the Diagnosis and Acupotomy Treatment Points for Quadrilateral Space Syndrome
Background: The aim of this article is to propose a method for diagnosing and treating Quadrilateral Space Syndrome (QSS) using acupotomy.Methods: The proposed points for diagnosing and treating QSS were established based on the anatomical structures of Quadrilateral Space, especially Axillary nerve. Results:The diagnostic procedure should be conducted through thorough tenderness palpation for tenderness and a pinch-roll test.The proposed points include the Axillary nerve, the Quadrilateral Space, Teres minor muscle, and Teres major muscle.Conclusion: This study presents diagnostic and treatment points for QSS that are both effective and efficient.
