Abstract：Objective To observe clinical effects of rehabilitation training combined with impulse magnetotherapy in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis ( KOA ).Methods Thirteen patients ( 17 males and 13 females,range: 45-65 years ) with KOA were divided into two groups according to the random number table method: control group (n=15 ) and observation group (n=15 ).Both groups were treated by impulse magnetotherapy.Observation group had rehabilitation training.The function of knee was evaluated before and 8 weeks after the therapy by Lysholm score.Results These Lysholm scores in two groups ( control group: 71.27±7.49; observation group: 81.54±7.46 ) were higher than that before the treatment ( control group: 60.47±7.63; observation group: 59.54±7.37 ) with statistical signiifcance (P＜0.05 ).Lysholm evaluation and clinical effects of the observation group were signiifcantly better than that of the control group with statistical signiifcance (P＜0.05 ).Conclusions Rehabilitation training combined with impulse magnetotherapy performs better than simple impulse magnetotherapy,even both of them are effective in the treatment of KOA.
