Influence Of Wrist Ankle Acupuncture Combination With Thera-band Training On Flexion And Extension Muscle Function And Balance Of Knee Osteoarthritis

Objective:observation efficacy of Wrist Ankle Acupuncture (WAA) combination with Thera-band training (TBT) therapy knee osteoarthritis, discuss the mechanisms of WAA Cooperate with TBT therapy knee osteoarthritis by testing pain, isokinetic muscle strength and balance In order to better guide clinical.Methods:This study used a simple random control method, That will be included in 60 patients with knee osteoarthritis that conform to the inclusion criteria.60 cases were randomly divided into WAA cooperate with TBT group, simple TBT group of each 30 cases, and clinical observation. Before and after the treatment of patients with knee function assessment (including range of motion test, the isokinetic, dynamic fall risk index, the VAS pain score).Results1, The two groups after treatment than before treatment of motion, muscle strength, dynamic fall risk index and the VAS pain score has improved significantly(P<0.01).2, Clinical effect comparison:the WAA combination with TBT group:7 cases were cured,14 cases markedly effective,8 cases effective,1 cases invalid, the total effective rate was 96.7%; simple TBT group:4 cases were cured,9 cases markedly effective,14 cases effective,3 cases invalid, the total efficiency of 90%, the WAA combination with the TBT group more effective than simple TBT group (P<0.05).3, Comparing the joint activity, muscle strength, dynamic fall risk index and the reduce of VAS score of the two groups after treatment, WAA combination with TBT group is better than simple TBT group(P<0.05); after treatment, no significant difference (P> 0.05) compared to test results of joint activity.Conclusion:1, Application of WAA combination with the TBT is an Effective treatment for knee osteoarthritis, and can significantly improve the cure rate.2, with the WAA for blocking, reducing the pain of knee osteoarthritis is more significant, at the same time eliminate the pain factors in TBT interfere to procure flexor/ extensor training more effective, further improve joint stability.3, Through WAA combination with TBT, can effectively reduce the fall risk of knee osteoarthritis and Improve balance control ability.
