Abstract

The paper presents the materials of the study of the influence of osteopathic treatment on the "starting pains" and the volume of knee joint movements in patients with bilateral stage II gonarthrosis. Forty-two patients aged 45 to 55 years participated in the study. According to results of the study against the background of combined (osteopathic + allopathic) treatment an increase in flexion-extension amplitude in the knee joints (by 17.5º in the right knee and 20º in the left knee joint) was registered compared to the group receiving only allopathic treatment. There was a statistically significant decrease in the level of pain in both groups.
