<Diagnostic criteria for arthritis>
- Clinical and radiological findings of knee osteoarthritis diagnosis criteria
: Knee pain and imaging abnormal spots and one or more of the following 3 items
1. Age> 50 years
2. Less than 30 min.
3. Fricative sounds due to movement
- Classification criteria

2. Knee pain, age of 40 years or older, less than 30 minutes,
Kellgren and Lawrence's Imaging Classification of Osteoarthritis of the Knee
Grade 1: There was a suspicion of narrowing of the joint space compared to normal, and a slight degree of tumbling of the tibia or femur was observed.
Grade 2: The joint space is clearly narrower than the normal and the bony pole is clearly visible.
Grade 3: Moderate multiple bony spurs were observed, narrowed joint space, and osteogenesis and deformation of bone shape were observed.
Grade 4: Severe bony spurs were observed and the space between the joints was markedly narrowed. Severe osteogenesis and severe deformation of the bone morphology were observed.
? arthritis of other causes (rheumatoid, gouty, infectious)
? When knee joint replacement is performed on the knee
? If you have history of ultrasound or extracorporeal shock wave treatment or intra-articular injection therapy for the last 6 months
? External knee impact, disease status such as surgery or cancer
? If you can not proceed with the evaluation of pain or questionnaire to carry out the research due to the deterioration of cognitive function
? Others who are inadequate participation in clinical research as judged by other researchers
? Contact dermatitis, difficult to apply physical therapy device or gel to skin
? Pregnant and lactating women
? People with diabetes and other peripheral senses
