A visual aid that organizes muscle response assessments within a system claiming to evaluate structural, chemical, and mental aspects of health. It outlines specific muscles and their purported relationships to organs, meridians, or other body systems. For example, a chart may illustrate that a weakness in a particular muscle group correlates to a dysfunction in the liver, according to the tenets of this modality. These charts are often used as a reference during the assessment process.
These resources serve as tools for practitioners using the method to associate muscle responses with potential imbalances in the body. Proponents suggest using them can help identify underlying causes of health issues and guide treatment strategies. Historically, the development of organized guides emerged alongside the systematization of this method, offering a standardized reference for practitioners to navigate the complex relationships posited within the framework.
