다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

We examined clinical and reseach data about abdominal palpation conducted in japanese oriental medicine from the early stages of its medical history to the latest research, so as to introduce it into korean oriental medicine. That is to say, we studied clinical significance and suitable oriental medicine prescription about following : sweat and moistness of abdominal skin ; temperature of abdominal skin ; palpation and visible peristaltic movement ; meteorism ; tonus of the whole rectus abdominis muscle ; local tonus of parts rectus abdominis muscle ; palpitation of abdominal aorta ; resistance tender on pressure in epigastric region, subcostal region, umbilical region, lower abdomen, para-umbilical region, cecal region, sigmoid region and inguinal region ; sound of fluctuating liquid in the epigastric region. The result was that abdominal palpation was an immediately applicable method of clinical diagnosis in oriental medicine, and is being proven by western medicine methodology today. Therefore we suggest that korean oriental medicine would advance greatly if abdominal palpation were applied.
