Abstract：Knee pain is a common clinical disease,and Tuina manipulation in traditional Chinese medicine possesses distinctive advantages in treating knee pain.Professor YE Yong summarized the knowledge associated with the theory of sinews and integrated it with relevant research in modern biomechanics.He posits that the stability of the knee joint is closely linked to the"foot-knee-hip-lumbar"mechanical chain.Arch collapse,quadriceps imbalance,meniscus injury,weak hip abduction,and straightening of the lumbar curvature are significant causes of knee pain.Therefore,Professor YE Yong employs dynamic assessment of the"foot-knee-hip-lumbar"mechanical chain to guide the treatment of knee pain.He integrates Tuina manipulation at each stage of the treatment to reverse compensatory patterns at multiple levels and achieve favorable therapeutic outcomes.One proven case is attached.
