Key Points

To identify the structural anatomy of the fourteen dorsal vital points (Prusthagat Marma) via cadaveric dissection and correlate classical injury signs (Sushrutokta Viddha Lakshana) with modern anatomical findings.
Reviewed classical Ayurvedic texts and modern anatomical literature regarding Prusthagat Marma and Viddha Lakshana.
Performed cadaveric dissection to identify and map the underlying anatomical structures of the 14 Prusthagat Marmas.
Identified the specific anatomical and structural bases for Katikataruna, Kukundara, Nitamba, Parshvasandhi, Vrihati, Amsaphalaka, and Amsa Marmas.
Classical Viddha Lakshana aligned with modern trauma and neurological injury outcomes, demonstrating associations with hemorrhage, sensory deficits, motor dysfunction, muscle wasting, and postural impairment.
