The research was implemented for women who have rheumatism in order to observe changing general activity disorder patterns during PMT application. Participants were divided into two groups: Group 1 used applied PMT and Group 2 was the control group. Experimenters of each group were divided randomly and the treatment were conducted three times a week for a total of four weeks. Pain was observed through range of motion and AIMS which utilizes both VAS and goniometer. There was a significant difference between Group 1 and Group 2 when VAS was used. On the contrary, there was no difference in range of motion and AIMS. As a result, there existed similar pain among people who were applied PMT for four weeks; however, those who were not applied PMT didn't show any difference in pain.
