Application of Acupotomy in a Knee Osteoarthritis Model in Rabbit08:40

Application of Acupotomy in a Knee Osteoarthritis Model in Rabbit

In this protocol, a knee osteoarthritis model was prepared using the modified Videman method, and the operation procedures and precautions of acupotomy are detailed. The effectiveness of acupotomy has been demonstrated by testing the mechanical properties of quadriceps femoris and tendon and the mechanical and morphological properties of...

Glycemic Impact on Knee Osteoarthritis Symptoms on Physical, Radiographic, and Inflammatory Markers among Individuals Aged 50 and Over with Diabetes07:22

Glycemic Impact on Knee Osteoarthritis Symptoms on Physical, Radiographic, and Inflammatory Markers among Individuals Aged 50 and Over with Diabetes

Here, we present a protocol to assess glycemic control using capillary blood glucose (CBG) and glycated hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) levels. This study investigates the impact of hyperglycemia on knee osteoarthritis (KOA) symptoms, physical performance, physical activity level, radiographic severity, and inflammation in older adults with...

The Lower Body Positive Pressure Treadmill for Knee Osteoarthritis Rehabilitation

Here, based on a clinician’s point-of-view, we propose a two-model lower body positive pressure (LBPP) protocol (walking and squatting models) in addition to a clinical, functional assessment methodology, including details for further encouragement of the development of non-drug surgical intervention strategies in knee osteoarthritis patients. However, we only present the effect of LBPP training in improvement of pain and knee function in one patient through three-dimensional gait...
