Investigating the effects of mechanical traction and high intensity laser therapy on pain, muscle activity, and functional balance in knee osteoarthritis

These findings suggest that the combined application of MT+HILT may serve as an effective conservative strategy to improve pain management, functional capacity, AROM, and balance, potentially contributing to a reduced risk of falls in individuals with KOA.
