The use of manual therapies (chiropractic manipulation, massage) and movement therapies (yoga, tai chi) by people with arthritis may relate to their personal characteristics, and the reported emotional and physical health outcomes may differ by type of therapy.
To describe personal characteristics and predictors of manual and movement therapy use for people with arthritis, and to compare the use of manual versus movement therapy to improve physical and emotional health outcomes for people with arthritis.
CAM respondents with arthritis were identified from the 2012 National Health Interview Survey (n = 8229). Data were analyzed to determine the overall percentages of CAM users, and to examine the associations between use/nonuse using multivariable linear regressions.
White, well-educated, physically active females were more likely to use both types of therapy. Movement therapy users reported positive emotional health outcomes twice as much as manual therapy users and 10% more reported positive physical health outcomes.
While both movement and manual therapies can have positive effects on people with arthritis, it appears that active therapies are more beneficial than passive therapies.
关节炎患者使用手法治疗（脊椎按摩疗法、按摩）和运动疗法（瑜伽、太极）可能与其个人特征有关，且报告的情绪和身体健康结果可能因治疗类型而异。
描述关节炎患者使用手法和运动疗法的个人特征和预测因素，并比较使用手法与运动疗法来改善关节炎患者的身体和情绪健康结果。
从 2012 年全国健康访谈调查（n=8229）中确定有骨关节炎的 CAM 受访者。对数据进行分析，以确定 CAM 使用者的总体百分比，并使用多变量线性回归检查使用/不使用之间的关联。
白人、受过良好教育、身体活跃的女性更有可能同时使用这两种疗法。运动疗法使用者报告的情绪健康结果阳性的比例是手法治疗使用者的两倍，而报告的身体健康结果阳性的比例则高出 10%。
虽然运动和手法治疗都对关节炎患者有积极影响，但似乎主动治疗比被动治疗更有益。
