Abstract

A degenerative condition called knee osteoarthritis (Knee OA) causes excruciating discomfort and stiffness, which impair movement and make the knee joint disabled. When a person’s age increases, they are more likely to experience worsening symptoms and a higher prevalence of overweight knee OA. Pain, morning stiffness, oedema, decreased ROM, crepitus sound, joint damage, and extreme fatigue of muscles are the major symptoms. The incidence of knee osteoarthritis was observed to range from (22% to 39%) generally. In India, it is 28.7%. In this study considering extracorporeal shock wave therapy’s (ESWT) efficiency in treating individuals with knee OA, most studies in our review reported that extracorporeal shock wave therapy usefulness in knee OA.
