The subjects in experimental group participated in exercise with joint massage therapy for 4weeks, thirty minute at once, five numbers per week. Pain and health status was measured by pain numeric rating scale, joint flexibility(upper extremity range of motion, sit and reach flexibility, knee joint range of motion), muscle power(grip strength, lower extremity muscle power), vital sign(systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, pulse), daily life activity, perceived health status.
Data was analyzed by frequency, descriptive statistics, paired t-test, with SPSS WIN 12.0 program.
Result: The 1st hypothesis is not supported. Mean pain score is down from 4.25 to 3.97, but no significant, The 2nd hypothesis is partially supported. Lt upper extremity flexibility is no significant, Lt upper extremity flexibility is no significant , Lt knee joint flexibility is significant(t=2.525, p=0.023), but Rt knee joint flexibility is no significant. Waist flexibility(sit and reach flexibility) is no significant. The 3rd hypothesis is not supported. Lt grip strength, Rt grip strength, lower extremity muscle power are no significant. The 4th hypothesis is not supported. Systolic pressure decreased from 126.25 to 124.37(t=0.362, p=0.723), diastolic pressure decreased from 82.50 to 78.12, pulse decreased from 75.68 to 75.31, but no significant. The 5th hypothesis is not supported. In daily life activity score, knee pain is decreased from 2.71 to 2.62, but no significant. Stiffness is decreased from 2.71 to 2.56, but no significant.
