Knee Osteoarthritis is the most frequent articular disease. It may cause disability and handicap.
to assess the effect of a home based exercice programme in a Tunisian population having knee osteoarthritis, associated with medical treatment and education.
Prospective study during three months, including 34 Tunisian patients with knee osteoarthritis. A clinical and functional assessment of the patients was made using respectively the visual analogic scale for the pain, the Lequesne index, the Functional Independence Measure and the womac function score for the function, the HAQ and SF 36 for the assessment of the quality of life.
Visual analogic scores for pain were reduced in the exercise group. Lequesne index scores reduced significantly in the exercise group and were unchanged in the controls. Quality of life was greater in the exercise group compared with the controls.
Home based exercise programme contributes to relieving pain, maintaining function and to ameliorate the quality of life of people having knee osteoarthritis.

评估一项针对突尼斯膝关节骨关节炎患者的家庭锻炼计划,该计划结合了药物治疗和健康教育。
为期三个月的前瞻性研究,纳入34名突尼斯膝关节骨关节炎患者。分别使用视觉模拟评分法评估疼痛、Lequesne指数、功能独立性测量以及Womac功能评分评估功能,使用健康评估问卷(HAQ)和SF-36评估生活质量,对患者进行临床和功能评估。
运动组的疼痛视觉模拟评分降低。运动组的Lequesne指数评分显著降低,而对照组则无变化。与对照组相比,运动组的生活质量更高。
