Veterinary acupuncture charts were developed based on the concept of transpositional points whereby human acupuncture maps were adapted to animal anatomy. Transpositional acupuncture points have traditionally been placed in specific locations around the horse's coronet and distal limb believed to be the closest approximation to the human distal limb points. Because the horse has a single digit and lacks several structures analogous to the human hand and foot, precisely transposing all of the human digital points is not anatomically possible. To date there is no published research on the effect of acupuncture treatment of the equine distal limb points. This paper presents a modified approach to equine distal limb point selection based on what is known from research on other species about the neuroanatomic method of acupuncture. A rationale is presented for modification of traditional equine ting points as well as additional points around the hoof and distal limb that do not appear in the standard textbooks of equine acupuncture. The anatomy and physiology of the equine foot likely to be affected by acupuncture are briefly reviewed. Modified neuroanatomic points are proposed that may be more accurate as transpositional points. As an example of clinical application, a neuroanatomic approach to acupuncture treatment of equine laminitis is presented.
兽医针灸图谱是基于穴位移位的概念发展而来的，即将人体针灸图谱适用于动物解剖学。传统上，穴位移位被放置在马的冠状带和远端肢体的特定位置，这些位置被认为是最接近人体远端肢体的位置。由于马只有一个蹄子，并且缺乏一些与人类手和脚类似的结构，因此不可能将所有的人体数字点都准确地移位。迄今为止，关于针灸治疗马的远端肢体点的效果的研究尚未发表。本文提出了一种基于其他物种的针灸神经解剖学方法的改良的马远端肢体点选择方法。提出了修改传统马 Ting 点以及马蹄和远端肢体上的其他点的理由，这些点在马的针灸标准教科书中没有出现。简要回顾了可能受针灸影响的马脚的解剖学和生理学。提出了可能更准确的作为移位点的改良神经解剖点。作为临床应用的一个例子，提出了一种基于神经解剖学的马跖骨痛的针灸治疗方法。
