Objective Based on the ancient texts of muscle regions,it is found that"rao jian jia(around the scapula)"is related to both the hand-Yangming and hand-Taiyang meridian sinews.Starting from the association between these two meridian sinews and neck pain accompanied by rotational dysfunction,this paper explores whether there is a correspondence between"rao jian jia(around the scapula)"-related meridian sinews and neck pain accompanied by rotational dysfunction.Methods Twenty volunteers with neck pain and dysfunction in the scapular region were collected,and eight positive reaction points in the scapular region were palpated to explore the correspondence pattern between the two according to the site of pain as well as the type of neck rotation dysfunction.Results Among ten patients with rotation with limited posterior extension,nine showed positive reaction points in the suprascapular region,accounting for 90%of the total;among another ten patients with rotation with limited anterior flexion,nine showed positive reaction points in the subscapular region,also accounting for 90%of the total.Thus,there was a correspondence between rotational with posterior extension and suprascapular region and rotational with anterior flexion and subscapular region.Conclusion There is a correspondence between the hand-Yangming meridian sinews and the rotation with posterior extension functional limitation,and the hand-Taiyang meridian sinews and the rotation with anterior flexion functional limitation respectively.
