Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Ultrasound therapy will be applied by a qualified physiotherapist at 1 W/cm² intensity and 1 MHz frequency in pulsed mode, for four weeks. Evaluations will be conducted at baseline and after treatment completion, using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain assessment, WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index for physical function, and a 2-minute walk test to measure walking performance.
This study aims to provide scientific evidence on the optimal ultrasound treatment duration for knee osteoarthritis, contributing to improved rehabilitation protocols. The findings will be prepared for publication in an international peer-reviewed journal.
