Ultrashort Wave Therapy Combined with Physical Therapy in the Treatment of 40 Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis

Objective To observe the clinical effect of ultrashort wave therapy combined with physical therapy on knee osteoarthritis（KOA）.Methods 80 patients with knee osteoarthritis admitted during March 2008 and August 2009 to our hospital were randomly divided into control group（n=40,54 knees） and treatment group（n=40,57 knees）.The treatment group was treated with ultrashort wave therapy and rhysical therapy,while the control group was treated only with ultrashort wave therapy.The clinical effect was observed by LEQUESNE Scoring after therapy.Results 5 weeks after treatment,the LEQUESNE score in the control group was significantly lower（5.78±1.02）,when compared with that before treatment（7.39±1.87）,and the difference was statistically significant（P0.01）;the LEQUESNE score in the treatment group was significantly lower after treatment（3.61±1.01） when compared with that before treatment（7.43±1.58）（P0.01）;the score in treatment group was significantly lower when compared with that in control group after 5 weeks therapy（P0.05）.Conclusion A combination of ultrashort wave therapy and physical therapy is efficient and satisfactory in treating knee osteoarthritis and can reduce the incidence of disability.
