Official Title: Effects of Ultrasound-guided Genicular Nerve Block in Knee Osteoarthritis Patients on Proprioception and Static Balance
Brief Summary:
Genicular nerve block (GNB) is a novel and promising interventional method for pain in knee osteoarthritis (KOA).However ,it contains afferent fibers that receive impulses from proprioceptive and deep sensory receptors located in the joint capsule, ligaments, muscles, tendons and periosteum.These proprioceptive stimuli are effective on joint position and biomechanics, protect the joint from injuries and help maintain balance.This study aims to evaluate Pproprioception and static balance after ultrasound-guided GNB…
