Introduction
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common causes of disability due to limitations of joint movement. Exercises that increase balance, flexibility, and range of motion are recommended for patients with OA. The applied ancient boxing exercise, which is the kind of exercise adapted from traditional boxing posture. The applied ancient boxing exercise is low impact, suitable for balance training and good coordination. The objective of the study was to investigated the effect of the applied ancient boxing exercise on the muscle strength of lower extremities and an quality of life (QoL) in patients with OA who live in Waritchaphum, Sakon Nakhon.
Methods
This research study was a randomized control trial. Twenty subjects recruited from the community and randomly allocated into two groups, control group (CG) and the experimental group (EG). The CG (n=10) received health education and the EG (n= 10) performed the ancient boxing. Both group had their anthropometric measurements blood pressure, resting heart rate, five time sit to stand test (FTSST) and QoL at before (week 0), week 4 , week 8 and immediately after the completion of program (week 12).
Results
The EG had a significantly greater FTSST than CG after 4 weeks (p<0.05) while QoL had no statistically significant difference when compared between group (p>0.05). According, either as week 8 and week 12 the EG had a statistically significant difference of FTSST which compared with CG (p<0.05). In contrast, QoL had no statistically significant difference which compared with CG (p<0.05).
Discussion
The applied ancient boxing exercise could be improved muscle strength of lower extremities but no affected to QoL after 4 weeks of program which may be due to subjects with chronic OA knee, there is no violence to the lifestyle. However, researchers have also seen the benefits of this study in terms of preventing the progression of patients with OA. Future studies should continue to be focused on patients with OA in the higher levels to improve the quality of life of residents in the following areas.
