Abstract

Purpose : The main purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of muscle strengthening exercise on balance ability of knee osteoarthritis. The subject were consisted of 30 women patients with knee osteoarthritis. Method : The strengthening exercise group with modality treatment. The strengthening exercise for 40 minutes per day and three times a week during 6 weeks period. Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire(SFMPQ) was used to measure patient's pain level. Patient Specific Functional Scale(PSFS) was used to measure patient's functional disability level. BPM was used to measure sway area. Global Perceived Effect Scale(GPES) was used to measure recovery or worse of patient's condition. Results : 1. SFMPQ was muscle strengthening exercise showed significantly decreased more than before treatment(p<.05). 2. PSFS was muscle strengthening exercise showed significantly increased more than before treatment (p<.05). 3. Sway area was muscle strengthening exercise showed significantly limited area more than before treatment(p<.05). 4. GPES was muscle strengthening exercise showed significantly increased more than before treatment(p<.05). Conclusion : This study will be used as exercise method of patient with osteoarhtritis.
