Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Adults aged between18 - 60 years. Healthy volunteers with no known musculoskeletal, neurological, or vascular pathology BMI between 18.5 and 25 kg/m to avoid excess fat affecting sensor readings Willing to provide informed consent No history of upper limb injury, surgery, or deformity.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Pregnant or lactating women Participants with metallic implants, pacemakers, or prosthetics in the upper limb Diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, neuropathy, Raynaud s disease, or vascular disorders Individuals with skin conditions or wounds at sensor application sites Participants with high anxiety or movement disorders preventing steady measurement Subjects who are currently undergoing any therapy (e.g., corticosteroids, physiotherapy) affecting circulation

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Accuracy and reproducibility of upper limb Marma identification measured by positional deviation (mm), thermal asymmetry, impedance variation, and anatomical correlation via ultrasound.Timepoint: single study visit.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Thermal, bioelectric, vascular, and sensory variations at detected Marma sites compared with adjacent non-Marma areas.Timepoint: single study visit.
