伏脉推筋着骨寻，指间裁动隐然深。
—— 濒湖脉学 · 伏脉 · 体状诗
The hidden pulse must be sought by pressing through the sinew to the bone; only then does it stir faintly beneath the finger, concealed in the depths.
脉行于筋下，重按推筋着骨始得，甚则伏而不见。
The pulse travels below the sinew, obtained only by pressing all the way to the bone; in severe cases it is hidden and cannot be felt at all.
主邪闭、厥证、剧痛。邪气内伏，气血凝结，脉道潜伏不出；亦见于阳气暴脱之危候。
Indicates pathogenic blockage, syncope-reversal patterns, and severe pain. When pathogens lodge deep within and qi and blood congeal, the vessels hide from reach. It may also appear in sudden yang collapse.
