Objectives Osteoarthritis is the most common musculoskeletal disease associated with aging, which has a significant effect on psychological factors and leads to a decrease in quality of life and life expectancy. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of aquatic exercise with theraband and water exercise with the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) approach on pain, kinesiophobia, and mood in older women with knee osteoarthritis.
Methods & Materials In this semi-experimental study, with a design pre and post-test, 45 older women (aged 60-70 years) with knee osteoarthritis were selected by the use of purposeful sampling and were divided into 3 groups (n=15); Water Exercise with Theraband, Water Exercise with the NASM approach and Control. The exercise protocol with Theraband and NASM approach was performed for eight weeks, three sessions per week and each session lasted about 60 minutes in the water. Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Tampa Scale kinesiophobia (TSK), and Brums questionnaire were used to estimate the study variables.To analyze the data, MANCOVA and post hoc Bonferroni tests were conducted using SPSS 26 software at a significant level (P≤0.05).
Results The average age, height, weight and BMI of the subjects were 66.2±4.11 years, 160.6±4.64 cm, 74.8±3.39 kg and 29.04±13.56 respectively. Morover, the study showed that pain (p=0.002, F=313.07), kinesiophobia (p=0.001, F=271. 4), and mood (p=0.001, F=49.66) improved significantly in both experimental groups. In addition, no difference was observed between the effects of two types of exercise on these variables (p≥0.05).
Conclusion These results showed the beneficial effects of training in the water with theraband and training in water with the NASM approach on pain, kinesiophobia, and mood. Therefore, these training methods are recommended as a suitable prevention and treatment method for these disorders in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
