Book excerpt: Objectives: The objective of this study is to compare effects of aquatic exercise and land-based exercise on postural sway and physical performance in elderly with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: The assessor-blinded randomized controlled trail was done. Elderly women with mild to moderate osteoarthritis, age 60-75 yrs were recruited. Postural sway viewed by COPx or anterior- posterior (A-P) amplitude, COPy or medio- lateral (M-L) amplitude, Total Area or XY area in during double and single leg stance while eyes opened and closed measured by the Force platform (Bertec # FP 4060-08), functional outcome tested by Modified WOMAC and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), pain scale tested by Visual Analog Scale (VAS), leg muscle strength tested by chair stand, and leg muscle flexibility tested by sit and reach test were measured before training as baseline and 6 weeks after training. The patients were randomized into two groups. Aquatic group exercised in therapeutic pool of King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital and Land-based group exercised at home, 45-60 minutes per day, 3 times a week, for 6 weeks. Results: The reduction of postural sway in aquatic group was significantly more than land-based group at p 0.05. ANCOVA showed that WOMAC, KOOS scores and sit and reach test after 6 weeks training were significantly improved after exercise in both group but were not significantly different between groups at p 0.05, except that chair stand was significantly increased and VAS was significantly decreased in the aquatic group more than the land-based exercise group at p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Old age is increasingly becoming the focus of research and development in Europe. Concerning orthopaedics and sports medicine, the elderly especially are considered as frail patients who need support to maintain the health of their musculoskeletal systems. For this reason, several interventions regarding physical activity have been investigated in recent years in order to understand whether some programs of physical activity are better than others as conservative treatments for degenerative musculoskeletal pathologies (i.e., osteoarthritis, rotator cuff arthropathy, and lower back pain). Furthermore, several investigations have been carried out to understand the best preoperative and postoperative protocols of physical activity to improve the results of orthopaedic surgery. The aim of this Special Issue was to collect the updated evidence concerning these topics in the form of a collection of systematic reviews of the literature.
Book Synopsis The Comparison of Balance Outcomes Between an Aquatic Vs. Land-based Exercise Program in Older Adults with Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) by : Gioella Chaparro
Download or read book The Comparison of Balance Outcomes Between an Aquatic Vs. Land-based Exercise Program in Older Adults with Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) written by Gioella Chaparro and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Balance improvement has been well documented in healthy older adults after participating in aquatic or land-based exercise programs. Aquatic exercise is frequently recommended for people with arthritis. While various effects of aquatic exercise have been studied, limited research has investigated its effects on balance among people with osteoarthritis (OA). The purpose of the study was to compare balance outcomes between aquatic and land-based exercise programs in older adults with knee OA. A total of 14 participants (Mean age 75.65 ± 8.2, 13 females, and 1 male) with knee OA were assigned to an aquatic exercise group or a land exercise group. The aquatic group participants completed a 45-minute Arthritis Foundation Aquatic Program (AFAP) 3 times a week for 12 weeks while the land exercise group performed the Arthritis Foundation Land Program (AFLP). Outcome measures were assessed by using a computerized posturographic balance test equipment, a psychometric balance measure, the activities-specific balance confidence (ABC) scale, a dynamic balance measure, the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), a pain assessment measure, the visual analog pain scale (VAS), and the a functional balance measure, the functional reach test (FRT). All tests were performed pre and post-intervention. Within group analyses using paired t-tests showed that the AFLP had no statistically significant changes between pre and post in any of the outcome measures. The water group showed significant changes between pre and post in the TUG and Limits of Stability (LOS- NeuroCom Test). MANOVA showed no group-interaction in any of the balance measures. As a total group, there were significant differences found between pre and post in the FRT, TUG, and LOS. The findings indicate that aquatic or land exercise programs can help older adults with knee OA. Exercising in either program will show benefits in reaction time and in functional and dynamic balance.
Book Synopsis Effects of Aquatic Treadmill Exercise on Mobility of People with Knee Osteoarthritis by : Jaimie Roper
Download or read book Effects of Aquatic Treadmill Exercise on Mobility of People with Knee Osteoarthritis written by Jaimie Roper and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gait, pain, and self-efficacy alterations in osteoarthritis (OA) patients may be precursors for pathological alterations and are important variables to examine in an aquatic therapy study aimed at improving mobility. A greater understanding of these alterations will be useful for the treatment of OA and the prevention of OA progression. The purpose of this thesis was twofold: to review the effects of certain land and aquatic therapies on gait kinematics and mobility of people with osteoarthritis, and to examine the effects of short-term aquatic treadmill exercise on gait kinematics, perception of pain, and mobility in OA patients. A direct comparison of water versus land treadmill exercise was used to determine the acute effectiveness of aquatic therapy on gait kinematics, pain, and self-efficacy. Fourteen participants diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee performed three consecutive exercise sessions for each mode of exercise. Gait kinematics, pain, and self-efficacy were measured before and after each intervention. Angular velocity gain score during stance for left knee extension was significantly higher for aquatic treadmill exercise compared to land treadmill exercise by 38.1% (p = 0.004). Similarly, during swing, the gain scores for angular velocity were also greater for left knee internal rotation and extension by 65% and 20%, respectively (p = 0.004, p = 0.008). During stance, the joint angle gain score for left hip flexion was greater for land exercise by 7.23% (p = 0.007). Similarly, during swing, the angular velocity gain score for right hip extension was significantly greater for aquatic exercise by 28% (p = 0.01). Only the joint angle gain score for left ankle abduction during stance was significantly higher for land exercise by 4.72% (p = 0.003). No other joint angle gain scores for either stance or swing were significantly different for either aquatic or land treadmill exercise (p = 0.06-0.96). Perceived pain was 100% greater for land than aquatic treadmill exercise (p = 0.02) and self-efficacy gain scores were not different between conditions (p = 0.37). The present study demonstrated that an acute training period on an aquatic treadmill did influence joint angular velocity and arthritis-related joint pain. Although acute effects of training (i.e., pain, angular velocity) improve after aquatic rather than land training, it is unclear whether or not aquatic exercise is a better long-term alternative to land exercise, and further longitudinal research is needed to examine gait kinematic changes after an increased training period of aquatic exercise.

Book Synopsis Impact of Passive Range of Motion Exercises and Stretching in Knee Osteoarthritis Pain During Walking by : Dominique Marchelle Ottonello
Download or read book Impact of Passive Range of Motion Exercises and Stretching in Knee Osteoarthritis Pain During Walking written by Dominique Marchelle Ottonello and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA), is globally prevalent source of disability for the elderly. This degenerative malady progresses with age and has no cure. It manifests in gait changes and affects overall quality of life. Exercise therapy has been shown to improve knee joint range of motion, stiffness and pain due to KOA. This improvement is due in part to the direct relationship between muscle strength and joint stability. The purpose of this study is to examine how a passive range of motion (ROM) exercises and stretching regimens affect gait-alterations and associated pain from KOA experienced during walking.Nine KOA subjects were recruited from a local orthopedic clinic and the Fel's longitudinal study, with a final sample size of 7 subjects completing the trial. Subjects performed self-paced walking trials before and after a 4-week long, bi-weekly set of passive ROM and stretching exercises. A trained pre-physical therapy student administered the therapy. Data necessary to assess gait before and after the intervention was acquired via standard gait analysis. Participants rated their pain before the intervention, at the fifth trial and after the intervention ended.Subjects experienced significant changes in walking speed, stride-length, cadence, peak knee flexion in stance, peak knee flexion in swing and knee flexion/extension (KFE) ROM in swing. Pain did not significantly decrease, remaining largely unchanged. These data supported our hypothesis that a combination of passive ROM and stretching would result in increased ROM and improved patient gait. Our hypothesis that pain would be significantly decreased was not supported. To improve effectiveness of rehabilitation, further research is needed to elucidate the effects of exercise therapy on osteoarthritis-based pain during ambulation.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of an aquatic exercise program on balance among community-dwelling older adults. SUBJECTS: Twenty-one subjects over the age of 65 who were residents of the Loomis Village Retirement Communities in South Hadley, Massachusetts. Exclusion criteria included: medical conditions that affect physical activity, had physical therapy, were seeing a chiropractor, or currently had any other kinds of therapy such as acupuncture, massage, or occupational therapy. Inclusion criteria for subject selection required that each subject be 65 years or older, an independent ambulator with or without an assistive device, independent in all activities of daily living, and able to respond to verbal cues. All subjects signed informed consent forms and received written medical clearance from their primary care physicians. METHODS: Study was a mixed factor model with the treatment condition as a between-subject factor, and test session as a within-subject factor. Twelve subjects volunteered to participate in the aquatic gr6up (age M=8l.58years, SD 4.58). Nine subjects volunteered to participate in the control group (age M=82.44 years, SD 4.93). All participants were pre-tested using the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), Functional Reach Test (FRT), and Survey of Activities and Fear of Falling in the Elderly (SAFE). Aquatic group subjects participated in a 6-week program of aquatic exercise. Members of the control group were instructed not to change their daily routine. All participants were then re-tested using the TUG, FRT, and SAFE at week 7. ANALYSES: SPSS 12.0 was used to analyze data. Descriptive statistics and frequencies were obtained to provide a profile of the sample characteristics. Data were analyzed with independent and paired t-tests. Change scores were calculated relative to baseline measures. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the group sat pre-test in all dependent variables (p>.01). There was also no significant difference in the change of any of the dependent variables between the groups at post-test (p>.01). The TUG and FRT scores had a moderate negative correlation at both pre-test and posttest. Results of a post-hoc power analysis yielded a power of .8%. CONCLUSIONAND RELEVANCE: Results did not support those obtained by previous researchers, who found that aquatic exercise had a positive effect on balance. The limited power of the study suggests that a significant difference may have existed between the groups at post-test, but was not detectable with the sample size of this study. Limitations of the study included: limited sample size, nonrandomized groups, lack of reliability of SAFE scores, participant confusion during SAFE administration, highly active exercise group, and short study period. Despite the lack of a statistically significant difference between groups, an improvement in both TUG and FRT scores was observed in the aquatic exercise group. Suggestions for future studies include: larger sample size with randomized groups; longer time period of exercise intervention; outcome measures appropriate to population; and research needed to develop more appropriate fear of falling assessment tools.
Book Synopsis The Effects of a Resistance Training Program on Muscular Strength, Range of Motion, and Ankle-brachial-index in an Osteoarthritic Geriatric Population by : Katrina Jane Hall
Download or read book The Effects of a Resistance Training Program on Muscular Strength, Range of Motion, and Ankle-brachial-index in an Osteoarthritic Geriatric Population written by Katrina Jane Hall and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around 80% of people with osteoarthritis (OA) have some degree of movement limitation, which is one of the leading causes of disability in older adults (1,6). OA results in a decline in physical activity, functionality, cardiovascular function, quality of life, and an increase in joint pain (7,13,25). However, exercise has been found to improve many factors of OA. Muscular strength and neuromuscular function, range of motion (ROM), and possibly ankle-brachial-index (ABI) are factors that could be improved through exercise, especially resistance training (RT). The purpose of this study was to investigate the affects of a RT program on muscular strength, range of motion, and ankle-brachial-index in an osteoarthritic geriatric population. Fourteen older adults of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Senior Centers volunteered and were divided into two groups. Muscular strength was measured through manual muscle testing, ROM was measured through goniometry, and ABI was measured by taking systolic blood pressures in the arms and legs. All of the variables were measured before and after the intervention. The intervention group (n= 8) participated in resistance-training three days per week, which included five lower body machine weights, four ankle exercises with resistance bands, and three functional exercises. Both groups participated in twenty minutes of cardiovascular (CV) activity at an intensity determined by the six-minute walk test. The program was four weeks in length. No differences were observed between groups or across time for muscular strength, range or motion, and ABI. Linear least square analysis showed statistical significance in the relationship between change in hip abduction strength and ABI in all subjects (p= 0.03), and change in knee extensor strength and ABI in all subjects (p= 0.04). Trends towards significance was seen with changes in hip abductor strength (p= 0.6), knee extensor strength and interaction with ABI (p= 0.08), and hip abductor strength and interaction with ABI (p= 0.08) in intervention groups. More research is needed due to the low sample size, and short study duration. However, the current study suggests that a four-week resistance training program for the lower-body can possibly improve muscular strength, and possibly ABI.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to objectively investigate the physical and psychological outcomes following aquatic exercise in individuals with TKA. Introduction: Previous studies have served as a good starting point to assess the potential advantages of water-based rehabilitation. However, most current studies have failed to analyze an all-inclusive assessment of knee range of motion, strength, functional balance, and psychological measures following aquatic exercise in TKA. Therefore, this case study is unique in that it will look at comprehensive rehabilitation outcomes, both physical and psychological measures, and analyze the trend of recovery in each outcome. Methods: 3 participants status post TKA were recruited. One participant participated in conventional treatment with additional aquatic exercise (C+A), one participant participated in conventional treatment with additional land exercise (C+L), and one participant participated in conventional treatment only (C). Each aquatic intervention lasted approximately 1 hour in the aquatic therapy pool. Pre-and post intervention as well as bi-weekly data collection included knee range of motion using a goniometer, strength assessments using a handheld dynamometer, functional balance measurements using the Balance Master, psychological measures using 2 questionnaires: Assessment of Quality of Life, Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, and subjective pain level assessed using a Numeric Pain Rating Scale. Microsoft Excel was used for data analysis and Time-Series Graphs were illustrated to make visual comparisons of changes over time between each participant. Results: C+A achieved earlier improvements in knee extension ROM and balance outcomes compared to the other two participants. C+A and C+L achieved greater improvements in most outcome measures compared to C participant. However, positive trends were found in all participants on most outcome variables. Discussion and Conclusion: Results indicate that exercising in water is safe, effective, and is an appropriate rehabilitative method for individuals post TKA. Although this was a case study with no statistical significance, clinical meaningfulness was shown through positive trends of recovery in knee ROM, balance, strength, and quality of life. While the improvements in this study cannot be directly attributed from this novice program, the positive results suggest that this rehabilitation approach should be further explored in future trials.
