2.1.4. Working up of the results

2.1.4.1. Calculate the absolute index of Voll effect for the first investigated point (see the first line of table 4). It is equal to the difference between maximal and minimal indexes of activity of the given point, i.e. the difference between the indexes of columns 3 and 4, table 4.

2.1.4.2. Put down the result into column 5, table 4.

2.1.4.3. Calculate the relative index of Voll effect, i.e. the percentage correlation between the indexes of columns 3 and 4, table 4 in accordance with the Following formula:

APmax. – APmin.

FER=------------------------- x 100 % (2),

APmax. + APmin.

Where FER – relative index of Voll effect,

APmax. – maximal index of the activity of a point,

APmin. – minimal index of the activity of a point (after the falling).

2.1.4.4. Put down the result into column 6, table 4.

2.1.4.5. Calculate the absolute and relative indexes of Voll effect for other investigated points by analogy.

2.1.4.6. Work up the results of the diagnostics of pair BAP according to table 5 in the Following way:

Calculate the absolute difference between the indexes of activity of pair BAP, i.e. the absolute difference between the indexes of column 3 and 4, table 5.

Calculate the relative (in percentage) difference between the indexes of activity of pair BAP according to formula, which is similar to formula 2. Put down the result into column 6.

2.1.5. The interpretation of the results

When interpreting the results of the investigation you should take into account the Following diagnostic criteria:

2.1.5.1. The first diagnostic criterion is the maximal index of the absolute quantity of activity of corresponding BAP:

When the indication varies in a range from 20 up to 30 scale divisions it testifies to a normal functioning of the corresponding organ. An ideal indication of norm is the middle of the scale, which corresponds to 25 divisions.

If the indication exceeds norm (31 and more scale divisions) it testifies to hyperfunction of the corresponding organ that is usually connected with inflammatory process.

If the indication is lower than norm (19 and less scale divisions) it testifies to a hypofunction (insufficient function) of the corresponding organ that is connected with its weakness, deterioration.

2.1.5.2. The second diagnostic criterion is the effect of Voll and its quantity, which is registered at decreasing the indicator (falling of the arrow) when the probe is on the point of acupuncture.

2.1.5.2.1. The quantity of this falling signals about the degree of negative changes (deviations from norm) in the process of functioning of the corresponding organ. The more the quantity of falling of the arrow is the more negative changes are observed in the investigated organ.

In order to define the degree of significance of Voll effect ( in %) you should use a universal diagnostic scale of asymmetries and deltas, which is presented in table 2.1, appendix 2.

2.1.5.2.2. The absence of Voll effect testifies to the absence of organic changes, i.e. to a normal state.

2.1.5.2.3. The absolute quantity of indexes tells about the situational functional state of this or that organ whereas the effect of Voll testifies to organic violations.

2.1.5.3. The third diagnostic criterion is the asymmetry (and its quantity) of indexes at simultaneous measuring the symmetric pair BAP.

The presence of a significant asymmetry testifies to the deviations in the process functioning of the corresponding organ. The higher the percentage coefficient of asymmetry is the more deviations in the functioning of a diagnosed organ you can observe.

In order to define the degree of significance of asymmetry (in %) you should use a universal diagnostic scale of asymmetries and deltas, which is presented in table 2.1, appendix 2.

The absence of asymmetry testifies to a symmetric (normal) functioning of a given organ.
