Research progress in the treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis

Abstract

Osteoarthritis in the knee is a disease that is chronic and degenerative. It occurs more frequently between the elderly and the obese populations, and the prevalence rate of women is higher than that of men. With the accelerated aging of the population, the prevalence of knee osteoarthritis has also increased, which has brought greater pressure to the patients themselves and society. In recent years, although through the efforts of researchers, there have been a variety of treatment methods for knee osteoarthritis in the clinic, researchers have not yet found a complete cure for knee osteoarthritis. This paper introduces the research status of therapeutic modalities, exercise therapy and traditional therapy in the therapy of knee osteoarthritis by investigating previous research, aiming to promote the level of knee osteoarthritis therapy.
