Abstract:Background
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent joint disorder among musculoskeletal conditions. Non-surgical treatment is the conventional therapy for knee OA (KOA). Given the simplicity, feasibility, and effectiveness of physical therapy, it has become a widely used treatment. Ultrasound therapy is recommended for the treatment of pain and dysfunction caused by OA. However, a lack of scientific evidence of high-quality ultrasound treatment of OA still remains. Therefore, we want to analyze whether a co… Show more
