Objetivo: Comparar os efeitos de diferentes protocolos fisioterapêuticos no tratamento da osteoartrite de joelho em idosos. Desenho do estudo: Estudo randomizado, controlado, prospectivo, analítico, paralelo e aberto. Sujeitos: 49 participantes, com idade superior igual ou superior a 60 anos e com diagnóstico clínico de OA do joelho. Métodos: Os pacientes foram randomizados em um dos três grupos: Fisioterapia aquática (GI), Fisioterapia Terrestre (GII) e um Grupo Controle (GIII). Os programas de exercícios consistiram em duas sessões semanais, durante dois meses. Todos os participantes foram avaliados antes e após da aplicação dos programas (teste de caminhada de seis minutos (TC6'), índice de massa corporal (IMC), questionário Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) e Timed up & Go Test (TUGT). Resultados: Ao término do estudo, restaram 45 pacientes. Após análise dos dados, constatou-se melhora estatisticamente significante de todas as variáveis em GI e GII quando comparado ao GIII (p<0,05), enquanto entre GI e GII não houve diferenças significantes (p>0,05). Conclusão: Os protocolos de fisioterapia aquática e terrestre resultaram em significativa melhora dos sintomas de dor, rigidez, atividade física, redução do risco de quedas e melhora da capacidade funcional de idosos com OA de joelho / Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA), a chronic degenerative disease of high prevalence, is the most common joint disorder, affecting 6% to 12% of the adult population and more than a third of people over 65 years old. Objective: To compare the effects of different physiotherapy protocols in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis in the elderly. Study Design: A randomized study, controlled, prospective, analytical, parallel, open-label. Subjects: 49 participants aged 60 years and over, with clinical OA of the knee. Methods: Patients were randomized into one of three groups: Aquatic Physiotherapy (GI), Land Physiotherapy (GII) and Control Group (GIII). Exercise programs were performed twice weekly for a period of two months. All participants were assessed before and after program implementation (six-minute walk test (6MWT), body mass index (BMI), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and Timed up & Go Test (TUGT). Results: At the end of the study, 45 patients remained. After analyzing the data, we found a statistically significant improvement of all variables in GI and GII when compared to GIII (p <0.05), while among GI and GII there were no significant differences. (p> 0.05). Conclusion: The protocols of land and aquatic therapy resulted in significant improvement in symptoms of pain, stiffness, physical activity, reducing the risk of falls and improves the functional capacity of older adults with knee OA

The effect of a dance and music programme on the functional ability of the residents of an old age home in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-NatalGqada, Nomusa Constance January 2016 (has links)
Dissertation submitted in compliance with the requirements for the Master’s Degree in Technology: Nursing, Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa, 2016. / Life expectancy has increased rapidly since the beginning of the twentieth century and people aged 65 and older form the fastest growing segment of the population. With the onset of old age, comes social, physical and psychological challenges that result in morbidity and loss of independent life. For some of the socially and economically marginalized elderly this often means living in a long term facility. This study determined the effect of a dance and music programme on balance and function in the residents of a selected old age home in Pietermaritzburg.
Aim of the study
The study determined the effect of a dance and music programme on the balance and functional ability of the residents of the old age home.
Methodology
A pre-test/post-test experimental design was used in this study. The eligible participants were randomly assigned to two groups, the experimental and the control groups. The experimental group participated in the 12 week programme of a dance and music programme offered twice weekly while the control group received standard care. Both groups’ functional abilities and balance capabilities were assessed before and after the intervention.
Results
The results revealed that dance and music programme did not statistically improve balance and function. Function improved in the experimental group post-test compared to the pre-test. Positive feelings expressed during the classes indicate that the intervention had a positive effect on the participants.
Conclusion
The dance and music programme improved function. It is recommended that residents of the geriatric home be offered this dance and music programme as a long term activity. / M
