Method: Forty-one subjects were sampled according to research criteria, and divided into two groups: 21 out of experimental group and 20 out of control group. The patients having treatment of total knee replacement arthroplasty were out of the hospital. After surgery executed, it took 8days for them to recovere their health conditions since 10th day, the experimental group received the home care exercise program per regularly four days interval.
Results: 1) After applying home care exercise program, the total score on the WOMAC Index for the control group was 3.09±.76. The score of the experimental group was 3.55±.55 which is statistically higher than that of the control group. (P= .007). 2) After applying home care exercise program, the score of the quality of life for the control group was 3.09±.50. The score of the experimental group was 3.46±.35 which is statistically higher than that of the control group. (P=.007).
