Influences of acupotomy intervention on biomechanical characteristics of tension, creep and stress relaxation of patellar ligament in rabbits with knee osteoarthritis
Acupotomy intervention can impact the biomechanical characteristics of patellar ligament, so it has some effect on knee osteoarthritis. We induced the KOA model by fixing the left legs of the model rabbits and treated them with the method of acupotomy intervention. After the treatment, we tested the tension, creep and stress relaxation data of patellar ligament to study the effect of acupotomy on the biomechanical characteristics of patellar ligament. The results showed that acupotomy intervention can signi...
