Summary<br />

Feed<strong>back</strong> 1: When assessing the outcome of acupuncture therapy <strong>for</strong> the <strong>low</strong> <strong>back</strong>, what points were used? What I have observed is there<br />

is an immediate proprioceptive effect with the patients fol<strong>low</strong>ing the therapy. Where there is a mild paresis on clinical examination,<br />

what I think acupuncture does is to establish a recruitment of those muscle fibres that are paretic due to whatever cause. Possible<br />

Type II fibres are activated. There<strong>for</strong>e, any post assessment should not necessarily just assess <strong>pain</strong> but should include proprioceptive<br />

assessments, motor function <strong>and</strong> coordinative activities.<br />
