Muscle stiffness, pain discomfort in daily activities are cardinal symtoms on arthritis. To reduce these symtoms, a nonequivalent one-group pre & posttest experiment was carried out at a rural community health post area in kwangju province during eight weeks(from 25th of January to 20th of March, 2002) The subjects were sixteen old (60-80) with osteoarthritis. And to reduce the level of pain, discomfort in daily living and to increase that of life satisfaction, 25-30minutes of muscle-joint exercise followed by 25-30minutes of local heat therapy were done three times a week. The total experimental period extended at 12 weeks and the total 36 times it executed 1. The retrogression characteristic osteoarthritis elderly with local heat and a muscle joint exercise was the telegram which it receives and after receiving, the score of the paindaily activity function appeared to the lead, there was a difference which considers statistically, this constriction was supported.(Z=4.947, p<0.0001) 2. The retrogression characteristic osteoarthritis elderly with local heat and a muscle joint exercise was the telegram which it receives and after receiving, the score of daily activity function appeared lowly, there was a difference which considers statistically, this construction was supported.(Z=2.7226, p<0.0279) 3. The retrogression characteristic osteoarthritis elderly with local heat and a muscle joint exercise was the telegram which it receives and after receiving, there was not a difference where the quality of life considers statistically, this construction was rejected.(Z=-1.2087, p>0.2171)
