Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the effect of aquatic exercise and education on fall risk factors in older adults with hip osteoarthritis (OA).

METHOD

Seventy-nine adults, 65 years of age or older with hip OA and at least 1 fall risk factor, were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups: aquatics and education (AE; aquatic exercise twice a wk with once-a-wk group education), aquatics only (A; 2 wk aquatic exercise) and control (C; usual activity). Balance, falls efficacy, dual-task function, functional performance (chair stands), and walking performance were measured pre- and postintervention or control period.

RESULTS

There was a significant improvement in fall risk factors (full-factorial MANCOVA, baseline values as covariates; p = .038); AE improved in falls efficacy compared with C and in functional performance compared with A and C.

CONCLUSION

The combination of aquatic exercise and education was effective in improving fall risk factors in older adults with arthritis.

摘要

目的

评估水上运动和教育对老年髋骨关节炎（OA）患者跌倒风险因素的影响。

方法

79名65岁及以上患有髋OA且至少有1个跌倒风险因素的成年人被随机分为3组中的1组：水上运动与教育组（AE；每周进行两次水上运动并每周进行一次小组教育）、仅水上运动组（A；为期2周的水上运动）和对照组（C；日常活动）。在干预或对照期前后测量平衡能力、跌倒效能、双重任务功能、功能表现（从椅子上站起）和步行表现。
