[Purpose] This study examined the effects of resistance exercise using the elastic band on the pain and function of patients with degenerative knee arthritis. [Participants and Methods] Thirty patients with degenerative knee arthritis were classified into an experimental group of 15 patients on whom resistance exercise using the elastic band was applied and a control group of 15 patients on whom conservative physical therapy was applied. Both groups received treatments three times a week for four weeks. Pain was measured by the visual analogue scale and function was evaluated by the Korean Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (K-WOMAC). [Results] The intragroup comparison showed significant decreases in the visual analogue scale and the K-WOMAC in both the experimental and control groups. In the intergroup comparison after treatment, the experimental group showed significantly lower visual analogue scale and K-WOMAC values than the control group. [Conclusion] The results suggest that resistance exercise using the elastic band is an effective intervention for the pain and function of patients with degenerative knee arthritis.
[目的] 本研究探讨使用弹力带进行抗阻训练对退行性膝关节炎患者疼痛及功能的影响。[参与者与方法] 30例退行性膝关节炎患者被分为两组，15例患者为实验组，接受使用弹力带的抗阻训练；另15例患者为对照组，接受保守物理治疗。两组均每周接受3次治疗，共治疗4周。采用视觉模拟评分法测量疼痛程度，并通过韩国西安大略和麦克马斯特大学骨关节炎指数（K-WOMAC）评估功能。[结果] 组内比较显示，实验组和对照组的视觉模拟评分及K-WOMAC均显著降低。治疗后组间比较，实验组的视觉模拟评分及K-WOMAC值显著低于对照组。[结论] 结果表明，使用弹力带进行抗阻训练是改善退行性膝关节炎患者疼痛及功能的有效干预措施。
