Abstract:Background
Extensor training improves the quadriceps contraction intensity of knee osteoarthritis. But the duration of effects is limited. This study aimed to assess whether electroacupuncture (EA) with extensor training (EA + E) has better short-and long-term effects than simple extensor training (E).
Methods
Fifty-four patients were categorized into EA + E and E groups. Elastic shear wave imaging was employed to ascertain the quadriceps elastic modulus v… Show more
