- - The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of muscle energy technique (MET) combined with conventional physical therapy for patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) who underwent mesenchymal stem cell transplantation, comparing it to conventional therapy alone.
- - Conducted over 11 months, the trial involved two treatment groups receiving three weekly sessions, assessing pain and function through various scales, with significant statistical analysis used to determine results.
- - Findings indicated that while both treatment approaches improved knee pain and function, the MET combined with conventional therapy resulted in more significant improvements in knee pain, range of motion, and functional limitations.
