Differences in sensory-motor cortex activation patterns during level and stair walking in patients with knee osteoarthritis: protocol for a cross-sectional study
This study, based on "differential activation of the sensory-motor cortex under movement," innovatively observes the relationship between pain and functional impairment in KOA patients and activation levels in specific brain regions across different motor environments. This not only provides a basis for early prediction of KOA onset but also offers potential targets for clinical interventions in KOA. Ultimately, the results of this study may open new perspectives for the rehabilitation of chronic musculoskeletal diseases.
