Rheumatology International May 10, 2018
Paolillo FR, et al. - Authors assessed the synergistic effects of ultrasound (US) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) with or without therapeutic exercises (TE) in women with knee osteoarthritis. For all groups, the number of sit-to-stands was significantly higher. Nonetheless, compared to the placebo group, the change between pre-treatment and post-treatment (delta value) was greater for the US + LLLT and TE + US + LLLT groups with a significant intergroup difference. Findings suggested that after 3 months of US + LLLT with and without TE, patients presented with reduced pain and increased physical functionality.
