Neuromuscular effects of warm needle acupuncture versus mild moxibustion in knee osteoarthritis: An active-controlled randomized trial
Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is associated with neuromuscular dysfunction and impaired quadriceps activation. This study compared the short-term neuromuscular effects of warm needle acupuncture (WNA) and mild moxibustion (MM). M...

Immediate and 30-min effects of active versus passive scapular correction on clinical and sensorimotor outcomes in individuals with neck pain and scapular dysfunction: A double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled trial
Background: Scapular correction has been demonstrated to improve pain, cervical range of motion (CROM), joint position error (JPE), and pressure pain threshold (PPT) in individuals with neck pain. However, whether active or passive scapu...
