Exploring the Immediate Benefits of Multi-Focal Low-Level Laser Therapy on Quadriceps in Knee Osteoarthritis Patients

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common condition, especially in older individuals, causing notable pain and decreased functional abilities. Despite the positive outcomes seen with low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in reducing pain and improving function in knee OA patients, its use on a broader area like the quadriceps muscle has not been extensively studied. A recent research project sought to assess the immediate impacts of multi-focal LLLT on the quadriceps muscles of individuals with knee OA, with a specific focus on pain reduction and enhancement of functional performance.

Exploring Low-Level Laser Therapy for Knee Osteoarthritis in Elderly Patients: A Promising Alternative

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common problem in older patients, frequently resulting in substantial discomfort and reduced strength that hinders everyday activities. Conventional therapies like autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections and total knee replacement surgery may not be suitable for these individuals, particularly those on antiplatelet or anticoagulant medications or those with poor physical health. Prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can also result in negative gastrointestinal consequences. Therefore, there is an urgent requirement for alternative interventions to relieve knee OA symptoms in the elderly.
