Abstract:
Apparatus for measuring of bioelectrical parameters of a human or animal body at acupuncture points, said bioelectrical parameters including bodily voltage or electrical resistance, comprising:a measurement electrode for production of an electrical skin contact and an earth electrode for production of a second electrical skin contact,means for producing a positive constant current which flows by attached electrodes from the measurement electrode over the body to the earth electrode, and a negative constant current which flows from the earth electrode to the measurement electrode,means for ascertaining of a first potential difference between the measurement electrode and the earth electrode, when a positive current flows, and a second potential difference between the measurement electrode and the earth electrode, when a negative constant current flows, andmeans for determining of bioelectrical parameters from the ascertained first and second potential difference.
