Change in visual analogue scale after intervention
Decrement (clinical improvement) in visual analogue scale (VAS) immediately after intervention. The participant's knee discomfort was measured using a VAS. Participants were asked to score their level of pain on a 100-mm horizontal line, ranging from 0 to 100.
