Gout is a crystal arthritis caused by disorder of purine metabolism or reduced uric acid excretion. Clinical manifestations are characteristic acute arthritis due to hyperuricemia and uric acid crystals deposition, gout stone formation, gouty chronic arthritis, and uric acid nephropathy, uric acid urinary tract stones, and in severe cases, joint disability and renal insufficiency. In the acute phase of gout, the patient’s affected joints show inflammatory reactions such as redness, swelling, heat and pain. In addition to standardized medication, physical factor therapy is an effective method: 1. cold compresses; 2. semiconductor laser; 3. heatless short wave; 4. pulsed magnetic therapy; 5. 1-2 level joint loosening. The chronic phase is prone to dysfunction such as muscle atrophy and joint contracture. The goal of physical therapy is to restore muscle volume and function and regain normal joint mobility. The measures that can be used include: 1. medium-frequency electrical stimulation; 2. negative pressure attraction interference electrical therapy; 3. arthrodesis grade 1-4; 4. distraction training; 5. microcaloric short wave.
