Abstract
|
|
|
Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of an exercise program using isometric and isotonic thera band exercises.
Methods: Data were collected from 30 total knee replacement patients hospitalized in the orthopedics department at ’B’ hospital (control=15, experimental=15). The control group performed isometric exercises for one week while the experimental group performed three or more rounds of both isometric and isotonic exercises, including Thera-Band® exercises, everyday for four weeks.
Results: The experimental group improved significantly in muscular strength (Z=-1.99, P=0.047) and self-efficacy (Z=19.48, P=0.000), and showed lower levels of depression than the control group (Z=8.60, P=0.003). However, no difference was found in pain experience between the two groups.
Conclusions: Exercise programs using the isometric and Thera-Band® resistance training improve muscular strength and self-efficacy and relieve depression in total knee replacement patients.
