Impact of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy Combined With Traditional Exercises on Knee Osteoarthritis Pain, Range of Motion, and Functional Activities- A Review Article

The common musculoskeletal disorder known as knee osteoarthritis (OA) is marked by a decreased range of motion (ROM), joint discomfort, and limited functional ability. Although traditional exercise therapy is still the mainstay of managing osteoarthritis, improving outcomes is frequently the goal of supplementary therapies. One possible supplementary strategy that has gained traction is Pulse electromagnetic field therapy or PEMF. This review examines the effects of PEMF therapy in conjunction with conventional exercises on pain, knee ROM, and functional activities in knee OA patients. We explore recent evidence, discuss mechanisms, and evaluate the clinical relevance of combining traditional workouts with PEMF treatment.
