To verify the action of non-pharmacological interventions, whole body vibration exercise (WBVE) and auriculotherapy (AT) on the management of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) analyzing the handgrip strength (HS).
One hundred twelve participants with KOA were allocated in (a) WBVE group with peak-to-peak displacement of 2.5 to 7.5 mm, frequency from 5 up to 14 Hz, acceleration peak from 0.12 up to 2.95 g (2 d/weekly for 5 weeks), (b) AT group, points of both ears (Kidney, Knee-correspondent point and Shenmen) were stimulated with seeds, (c) WBVE + AT group and (d) respective control groups. HS was assessed in all the participants, in acute and cumulative responses.
The intervention with WBVE alone and combined with AT improved (P < 0.05), in a cumulative response, the HS.
WBVE alone or combined with AT might promote biological effects that interfere with the HS in individuals with KOA.
通过分析握力,验证全身振动运动(WBVE)和耳穴疗法(AT)等非药物干预措施对膝骨关节炎(KOA)的作用。
将 112 名 KOA 患者分为(a)WBVE 组,其峰峰值位移为 2.5 至 7.5 毫米,频率为 5 至 14 Hz,加速度峰值为 0.12 至 2.95 g(每周 2 天,共 5 周);(b)AT 组,双耳的穴位(肾、膝相应点和神门)用种子刺激;(c)WBVE+AT 组和(d)各自的对照组。所有参与者均评估握力,包括急性和累积反应。
单独使用 WBVE 以及联合 AT 的干预措施均改善了(P<0.05)握力,累积反应中握力增加。
单独使用 WBVE 或联合 AT 可能会产生生物学效应,从而干扰 KOA 患者的握力。
