Abstract：Objective To observe the effect of kneeling treatment on the biomechanics of lower limbs in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and evaluate its clinical effect. Methods Thirty patients with KOA in Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from May 2018 to January 2019 were selected and divided into treatment group and control group according to random number table method, with 15 cases in each group. The treatment group received kneeling treatment, while the control group did not receive any form of intervention. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) and BTE Primus Rs simulation test evaluation system were used to determine the clinical efficacy. Results After treatment, the WOMAC total score, WOMAC pain score, and the ratio of 60° peak flexion torque to peak extension torque in the treatment group decreased compared with before treatment, and the treatment group was lower than the control group, with statistical significances (all P < 0.05). After treatment, the range of motion of knee joint in the treatment group increased compared with before treatment, and the treatment group was higher than the control group, with statistical significances (all P ＜ 0.05). There was no significant difference in the peak strength of extensor muscle between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion Kneeling training therapy can improve the balance of joint mobility and muscle flexion and extension in patients with KOA, and then effectively relieve the symptoms of knee pain.
