Effect of traction therapy on muscle satellite cell proliferation and differentiation in a rat model of knee stiffness.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In the rat knee stiffness model, the duration of traction treatment is mostly 20-40 min; however, relatively few studies have been conducted on longer traction treatment of extended knee stiffness in rats. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the efficacy of prolonged traction and its mechanism of action in extended knee stiffness in rats.

Methods

The model of extended knee joint stiffness was established in rats and treated with powered flexion position traction. On the 10th and 20th days respectively, passive range of motion (PROM) assessments and musculoskeletal ultrasound were conducted. Rectus femoris muscle tissues were taken for Western blotting (WB) to detect the expression of muscle satellite cells proliferation and differentiation signaling fa
