Each group had a treatment for 45 minutes per day and three times a week during 8 weeks period. Was used to measure recovery or worse of patient’s condition, muscle assessment questionnaire(MAQ) was used to measure patient’s muscular strength, Endurance, coordination/balance, KWOMAC was used to pain, stiffness, and physical function, and BPM was used to measure velocity, anterior-posterior.
Results : This study results in following conclusions. 1. MAQ score was significantly decreased in modality group(p<.05). 2. KWOMAC score was significantly decreased in modality group(p<.05). 3. BPM were score was significantly decreased in modality group(p<.05).
