Effect of Myoelectric Biofeedback Combined with Resistance Training on Knee Joint Function in Elderly Patients with Osteoarthritis
Objective:To investigate the effect of myoelectric biofeedback combined with resistance training on knee joint function in elderly patients with osteoarthritis.Method:A total of 102 elderly patients with osteoarthritis admitted to Jiujiang NO.1 People's Hospital from January 2020 to January 2023 were selected and randomly divided into two groups.The control group(n=51)received resistance training treatment,and the observation group(n=51)combined with myoelectric biofeedback treatment.The clinical efficacy,pain score,knee joint function and isokinetic muscle strength parameters of the two groups were compared.Result:The total effective rate of observation group was 90.20%,which was higher than 74.51%of control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).8 weeks of intervention,the visual analogue scale(VAS)score and the modified Western Ontario and McMaster University osteoarthritis index(WOMAC)score in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,and the Lysholm knee joint score scale(LKSS)score was higher than that in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).8 weeks of intervention,isokinetic muscle force parameters peak moment(PT),total work done(TW)and work fatigue(WF)in observation group were higher than those in control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:The effect of myoelectric biofeedback combined with resistance training in elderly patients with osteoarthritis is significant,which can effectively reduce the degree of knee pain,improve knee flexion and extension muscle strength and activity function.
