The control group was treated with strength training, and the experiment group was additionally treated with electroacupuncture. The Ankle Osteoarthritis Scale (AOS), American Foot and Ankle Society's Ankle and Hindfoot Scale (AOFAS-AHS), and the 3D Motion Analysis System were used before and after the intervention to assess the clinical outcomes and changes in kinematic parameters in the AOA patients before and after therapy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After treatment, the differences in intra-group comparisons and inter-group comparisons of AOS scores, AOFAS-AHS scores, stride length, stride length, single-support phase, and gait variable scores (GVS) of ankle dorsiflexion-plantarflexion of the patients in the experiment group were statistically significant; the differences in inter-group comparisons of GVS scores of hip rotation of the patients in the experiment group were statistically significant; and the differences in the gait profile scores (GPS) and gait deviation indices of the patients in the experiment group were statistically significant.
