Effect of Articular Needling Therapy Combined with Proprioceptive Training on Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective To observe the clinical effect of articular needling therapy combined with proprioceptive training on patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Methods A total of 90 KOA patients in the Foshan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Guangzhou University of Medicine from February 2021 to October 2022 were randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 45 cases in each group. The control group received routine treatments such as stretching therapy, joint loosening, muscle strength training and intermediate frequency therapy, with each treatment was 10 minutes a time, once a day, six days a week, lasting for four weeks. The observation group received articular needling therapy combined with proprioceptive training on the basis of the control group, articular needling therapy was performed 20 minutes a time, once a day, six days a week, lasting for four weeks; proprioception training was performed 10 minutes a time, once a day, six days a week, lasting for four weeks. Before and after treatment, visual analog scale (VAS) score was used to evaluate the pain degree of knee joint; Western Ontario and McMaster University osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) was used to evaluate knee joint function; average trajectory error of the affected limb and Berg balance scale (BBS) score was used to evaluate balance function of lower limb. Results Compared with that before treatment, VAS score, WOMAC and average trajectory error of the affected limb of the both groups after treatment decreased significantly, while BBS score increased significantly, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Compared with the control group, VAS score, WOMAC and average trajectory error of the affected limb of the observation group after treatment were lower, while BBS score was significantly higher, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions Articular needling therapy combined with proprioceptive training can effectively improve pain of knee joint, knee joint function, and balance function of lower limb of KOA patients.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
