T.B.-6
  Location 3 cun proximal to the dorsal wrist joint space (‘dorsal wrist crease’), in a depression between the radius and the ulna, radial to the tendon of the extensor digitorum communis muscle. How to find As the location of the dorsal wrist crease varies, the wrist joint space should be used for orientation instead (➞ 3.3.3). By moving the patient’s wrist in a relaxed way, the joint space becomes more easily palpable. From the joint space, measure 3 cun in a proximal direction. At this point, the extensor digitorum communis muscle will often lie midway between the ulna and the radius. T.B.-6 is located in a depression close to the border of the radius, on the radial side of the muscle. Located on the same level is ➞ T.B.-7, in a depression between the ulna and the extensor digitorum communis muscle. ➞ P-5 is also located on this level, but on the anterior aspect of the forearm.
