Objective : The aim of this study is to test the effects of elastic band exercise accompanied by Swiss ball exercise on lower limb muscle strength, balance and pain in middle-aged women with osteoarthritis.
Design : A randomized controlled trial.
Methods : Thirty-five participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n＝18), which performed elastic band exercise combined with Swiss ball exercise, and the control group (n＝17), which performed elastic band exercise only. Both groups did a 30-minute session of exercise three times a week for eight weeks and were assessed for lower extremity muscle strength, static and dynamic balance, and pain levels before the first therapy session. All participating patients underwent outcome assessment after eight weeks of therapy without any additional treatment.
Results : The experimental group made a significant increase in muscle strength of the lower extremities, static and dynamic balance ability, and pain level (p＜0.05). The control group made a significant improvement in lower limb muscle strength, dynamic balance ability and pain level (p＜0.05) with no such improvement in static balance ability. The exercise group made a significant increase in static and dynamic balance ability and pain level compared to the control group (p＜0.05).
Conclusions : These results demonstrated that both Swiss ball exercise and elastic band exercise were effective for middle-aged women with osteoarthritis and found that elastic band exercise combined with Swiss ball exercise produced more significant effects on their balance and pain.
