Noninvasive Characterisation of Foot Reflexology Areas by Swept Source-Optical Coherence Tomography in Patients with Low Back Pain

<table>The medial view of lumbar vertebrae reflexology area “abcd” where ab = cd = 3 cm; ad = cb = 1 cm. Each of A, B, C, and D is the reference point for this reflexology area, where the line CD is perpendicular to “AB”.  A: tip of big toe; B: midpoint of posterior surface of calcaneum; C: anterior border of medial malleolus; D: 1.5 cm below Sustentaculum tali. E is the perpendicular bisector of “ad” and F is that of “bc”.</table>
