膝骨关节炎(knee osteoarthritis,KOA)是骨关节炎中最多发的一种,主要表现为膝关节疼痛、肿胀、屈伸不利等,致畸率高,严重影响患者的生活质量。经筋系统主司周身关节运动,护卫经脉,与经脉系统共同维系人体正常体位和运动功能。“膝为宗筋之府”,膝痹病的发生与经筋密切相关,是经筋研究的重点部位,也是经筋疗法的优势部位,以经筋理论指导KOA的治疗值得在临床推广应用。本文对临床基于经筋理论的中医外治法进行归纳整理,期待为临床治疗KOA提供更科学有效的思路和方法。

Knee osteoarthritis(KOA) is one of the most common types of osteoarthritis,mainly manifested as knee pain,swelling,poor flexion and extension,high teratogenesis rate,which seriously affects the quality of life of patients.The meridian system is mainly responsible for the movement of the whole body joints,protecting the meridians,and maintaining the normal posture and movement functions of the human body together with the meridian system.
