The effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields on the range of motion and knee circumference in patients with osteoarthritis. A pilot study.

Aim: To determinate the effect of PEMFs on range of motion and knee circumference in patients with OA of the knee. Patients and methods: Thirty-two patients with knee OA, aged 69.0 8.83 years were enrolled in the study. Average duration of the symptoms were 6.52 6.45 months. The patients were randomized in two groups: in 16 patients PEMFs (6 mT ; 12 Hz ; 30 minutes) was applied (20 times, 5 days a week) while other 16 patients received placebo (machine turned-off). All patients were engaged in quadriceps muscle strengthening exercises. A range of motion in more affected knee (measured by goniometer) and knee circumference (measured by centimetre tape) were obtained before the therapy, at the end of the therapy and one month after the therapy was finished. Baseline values did not differ between groups. No change in analgetics/NSAIDs was allowed during the study. Results: There was no significant difference in knee circumference between therapy and control group (t=-0, 87 ; p>0, 05). Similarly, no statistically significant difference was found in flexion (t=-1, 49 ; p>0, 05) nor in extension (t=1, 58 ; p>0, 05 ; df=28) in index knee between two groups. Conclusion: In our group of patients with knee osteoarthritis there was no statistically significant effect of PEMFs on range of motion and joint circumference. The drawback of the study was the small number of subjects. A larger study to confirm or contradict these results is warranted.
