Brief summary
In this study, the effectiveness of ESWT in the treatment of knee OA was investigated from the perspective of cartilage injury,and to prove that shockwave could delay the early and middle stage OA progression by improving cartilage condition
Interventions
The experimental group (group ESWT) guided by ultrasound: conventional rehabilitation training is given priority to with strength training, application of pain when necessary, under the guidance of ultrasound ESWT treatment control group (routine rehabilitation group) : conventional rehabilitation training is given priority to with strength training, oral pain when necessary, under the guidance of ultrasound ESWT treatment (shock energy flow density of 0)
