*4.5.2.1 Range (as wide as possible)*

According to the anatomy of the muscle and its functional activity, the practitioner should guide the patient to achieve maximum radius of the muscle (isotonic contraction) or maximum intensity of the muscle (equal length contraction).

### *4.5.2.2 Slow speed*

A pause of 1–3 seconds is required during the maximum radius and the maximum intensity and relaxation. It is recommended to complete a reperfusion approach at around 10 seconds.

#### *4.5.2.3 Less number of times*

The same group of reperfusion approach, which refers to activity at the same direction and the same angle, should not be repeated more than three times.

#### *4.5.2.4 Length of interval*

A half hour interval is required between two groups of reperfusion activities so that the muscles could get enough relaxation.

#### *4.5.2.5 Changes*

Some targeted changes could be made in the reperfusion approach for intractable pains.

#### *4.5.3 Operating methods of reperfusion approach*

Reperfusion approach is different in different parts of the body. During clinical practice, Reperfusion approach should be designed according to joint features and the distribution of TMs related to targeted diseases:

so that the soft tube kept under the skin can be fixed.

When the sweeping movement is finished, the solid needle can be taken out and placed into the protective sleeve. Put a piece of adhesive tape to cover the tube seat, and fix it on the skin. Make sure that the adhesive tape can cover the entire soft tube

It is usually suggested to retain the soft tube for 1 hour, and the retaining time can vary according to different clinical situations. Doctors can decide the retaining time by taking into consideration factors like weather conditions, patient's reaction, and severity of disease. If the weather is hot, the patient sweats easily, or the patient has itching feeling around the needling point or surrounding area due to allergic reaction to the adhesive tape; the retaining time is better not to be long; otherwise,

To remove the soft tube, use the left thumb and index finger to fix surrounding skin of the needling point, then hold the soft tube seat with the right thumb and index finger, and take it out gently and slowly. Use a sterile cotton ball to press the needling point so as to prevent bleeding. After removal of the soft tube, patients can

Chronic diseases can be treated on a daily basis for two–three continuous treatment, and then the time interval can be prolonged to 2 to 3 days between two treatments. For other problems, the time interval can be decided according to the

Three times of treatment are usually considered as a course of treatment.

A small amount of subcutaneous bleeding and local small pieces of bruising will disappear and recover automatically; generally no special treatment is needed. But practitioners need to explain to the patient so as to eliminate the patient's worries

If the local swelling and pain are obvious or the bruised area is large and affects functional activities, practitioners need to withdraw the needle immediately and apply cold compresses to stop bleeding. After 24 hours, hot compress and mild

massage can be applied to promote the dissipation of blood stasis.
