|
Purpose : This paper aims at investigating the pain managementin the activities of daily living by using stretching and
elastic band exercise. 20 communitydwelling farmers participated in the program divided into two groups: Exercise group
(n=10, 61.29±±4.07 yearold) and Control group (n=10, 62.13±±10.91 yearold).
Methods : This research employed structuralized survey method from July to August, 2014, by applying 6 kinds of activities of daily living causing the inconveniencies from pain and used Visual Analog Scale to see the most painful intensity in a day.
Results : In the exercise group, 12 times of stretching and elastic band exercise were implemented for 4 weeks. As a result, no significant differences appeared between the two groups in the demographic characteristics and pain characteristics. In 4 weeks after the exercise application, the tests of long walking (≥≥10 min), squatting and pickup, and sitting to floor on the exercise group respectively showed more improved effects than those prior to the treatment. And the degree of pain in a day also showed significant improved effects compared with them.
Conclusion : The stretching and elastic band exercise is considered not only to decrease the pain but also to be an effective intervention method to improve the activities of daily living of regional farmers.
