Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Conference Paper Description
The prevalence of knee osteoarthritis (OA) is quite high among the elderly and significantly influence their mobility which is quite relevant to functional independence and health-related life quality. Acupuncture and acupressure are increasingly popular in treating many diseases including some musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders such as the knee OA. This paper aims to review the previous published researches on acupuncture and acupressure therapy for knee OA regarding the treatment mechanisms, effectiveness and characteristics to summarize and give therapeutic recommendations on knee OA in the elderly. Future directions will be provided for symptom management and functional maintenance in knee OA in order to improve the mobility and life quality of the old knee OA sufferers, so that the personal, societal, medical and financial burdens will then be correspondingly reduced.
