Clinical Observation of Soft Tissue Balance Technique in the Treatment of 30 Cases of Severe Knee Osteoarthritis of the Elderly
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of soft tissue balance technique in the treatment of severe knee osteoarthritis of the elderly.Methods:Sixty elderly patients with severe knee osteoarthritis were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group,with 30 cases in each group.The control group was treated with traditional massage methods,while the treatment group was treated with soft tissue balance technique.Both groups were treated for 4 weeks,observing their clinical efficacy,as well as the HSS and VAS scores before and after treatment.Results:In the treatment group,14 cases were recovered,10 cases were significantly improved,5 cases were effective,and one case was ineffective,with a total effective rate of 96.67%;in the control group,7 cases were recovered,5 cases showed significant improvement,10 cases were effective,and 8 cases were ineffective,with a total effective rate of 73.33%.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P＜0.01).After treatment,both HSS and VAS scores in the two groups improved compared to before treatment(P＜0.01);and the treatment group was better than the control group(P＜0.01).Conclusion:The conservative treatment of severe knee osteoarthritis of the elderly with soft tissue balance technique is simple,practical,and effective,suitable for clinical promotion.
