Abstract

This paper described the effect of FMT (Face Muscle Tonus) and by SUKI stimulation and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation).

The purpose of this study is to know the enforcement the muscle tonus comparing the stimulate to the special muscle regions by the SUKI alternative medicine techniques and TENS. All the data was analyzed with SPSS 22.0 for window program. Analysis of variance before and after experiment(one-way ANOVA) has showed sig=0, 012. The SUKI t-test, showed significant difference=0, 006. But the TENS t-test, did not showed significant difference=0, 620.

This study subject is a total 14 (female 14) without an acute and a chronic pain (Table 1). The aim of this study was to find the impact of face muscle tonus with SUKI stimulation via MTM analysis. SUKI stimulation region is a face(cheek area). That point is a cheek region.

Negative application on the cheek area and Positive application on the posterior area under neck region.

Attaching the measuring MTM analysis system for the study: MTM head apparatus touched method on the face surface

Measurement for Stimulation Point by the Myotonometer (MTM) equipment.

MTM model number: MT59803/5000 Pattee Canyon Drives Missoula program for the data collection and analysis.

Method: measured face cheek muscle tonus

MTM measurement site: stimulation area

SUKI grip method: by using only thumb, digital 1, 2 were less than 20g The SUKI alternative medicine techniques applied to the skin points of the face region it can know that showed increased muscle tonus effect on the specific part of the face. SUKI alternative therapy requires continuous research.

SUKI G2 showed a 17, 789 improved 3, 532 before 14, 257. G5 groups showed an increased significant from 14, 685(2, 674). G6 in were significantly increased 14, 653(3, 298) from 11, 355. G7 showed 9, 987 to the 13, 268 which increased 3, 218 difference tonus level. TENS did not show G1-G7. The results was that the SUKI alternative therapy technique had an increased effect for the cheek muscle tonus (buccinators). *p<0.05
