수중운동이 퇴행성슬관절염 환자의 근활성도 및 통증 변화에 미치는 영향

초록

This study carried out aquatic-exercise program for 8 weeks targeting 15 elderly women who were diagnosed degenerative arthritis, and analyzed muscular activities and pain variables before and after exercise. As a result, the following conclusions were obtained. 1. As for variables in muscular activities, the muscular activities were indicated to be more after exercise than before exercise by section in all the muscles of the right Rectus Femoris Muscle, the right Vastus Lateralis Muscle, the left Rectus Femoris Muscle, and the left Vastus Lateralis Muscle. A little difference was shown only statistically. The statistically significant difference was shown(p<.001) in right-foot support time(150%), left-foot swing phase(170%) for the right Vastus Lateralis Muscle, and in right-foot swing phase(175%) for the left Vastus Lateralis Muscle. The statistically significant difference was shown(p<.01) in right-foot support time(150%), right-foot swing phase(201%), and left-foot support time(140%) for the right Rectus Femoris Muscle, in right-foot swing phase(192%) and left-foot support time(144%) for the right Vastus Lateralis Muscle, in right-foot swing phase(137%) and left-foot support time(145%) for the left Rectus Femoris Muscle, and in left-foot support time(135%) and left-foot swing phase(175%) for the left Vastus Lateralis Muscle. The statistically significant difference was shown(p<.05) in left-foot swing phase(168%) for the right Rectus Femoris Muscle, in right-foot support time(219%) and left-foot swing phase(209%) for the left Rectus Femoris Muscle, and in right-foot support time(153%) for the left Vastus Lateralis Muscle. 2. As for the variables in pain, the pain reduced more after exercise(2.93±1.94) than before exercise(5.07±2.12). The statistically significant difference was shown(p<.001). The following conclusion was obtained by synthesizing the above results. The execution of aquatic exercise in the degenerative knee osteoarthritis patients was indicated to be much conducive not only to reduction in pain, but also to enhancement in muscular strength. The degenerative knee osteoarthritis patients can be said to be effective to take aquatic exercise given the exercise of enhancing muscular strength.
