Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of water exercise program on physical fitness, pain and quality of life (QoL) in patients with osteoarthritis.
Methods: Thirty- four old women were divided into the exercise (EG, n=18) and control groups (CG, n=16) after 6-week self-help education program. The EG carried out 6-week supervised water exercise program (60min/day, 2days/wk). Physical fitness, pain, and QoL were assessed by Senior Fitness Test Manual (Rikli & Jones, 2005), Pain rating scale (0-10) and World Health Organization QoL BREF (Min et al., 2000), respectively.
Results: Both EG and CG increased upper and lower-body strength (all, p＜.05), which were measured by arm curl and chair stand, respectively. For flexibility test, the EG increased upper and lower body (all, p＜.05). Balance of the EG increased (p＜.05), but not in the CG. Pain significantly decreased in the EG post training (p=.000). However, both EG and CG did not significantly improve for QoL.
Conclusion: Six weeks of water exercise program did induce significant improvement in physical fitness and pain control in patients with osteoarthritis.
