Effect of Articular Needling Therapy Combined with Proprioceptive Training on Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis by CHEN He, LI Xuemei, KUANG Xuehui, YU Jin

“…Before and after treatment, visual analog scale (VAS) score was used to evaluate the pain degree of knee joint; Western Ontario and McMaster University osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) was used to evaluate knee joint function; average trajectory error of the affected limb and Berg balance scale (BBS) score was used to evaluate balance function of lower limb.ResultsCompared with that before treatment, VAS score, WOMAC and average trajectory error of the affected limb of the both groups after treatment decreased significantly, while BBS score increased significantly, the difference was statistically significant(P&lt;0.05). Compared with the control group, VAS score, WOMAC and average trajectory error of the affected limb of the observation group after treatment were lower, while BBS score was significantly higher, the difference was statistically significant (P&lt;0.05).ConclusionsArticular needling therapy combined with proprioceptive training can effectively improve pain of knee joint, knee joint function, and balance function of lower limb of KOA patients.…”
