Objective : To invent an innovative elastic chair to stretch the knee joints for exercise in elderly patients with osteoarthritis. And study the effects of using an elastic chair to stretch and compare the knee joints' degrees of flexion and extension motion of the knee joints before and after the experimental with the control groups.
Method : It is quasi-experimental research. The subjects were elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis admitted to the Department of Thai Traditional Medicine. Nikhom Nam Un Hospital, Sakon Nakhon Province. 40 cases of subjects, were selected by purposive sampling. The research instruments were a range of motion meter and an innovative knee stretcher chair. Data were collected using an interview form. Presented as mean, percentage, and standard deviation. Data were analyzed using Paired t-test and an Independent t-test comparing the mean results of both groups.
Results : The results showed that the mean scores for the severity of osteoarthritis in the experimental group had the scores of osteoarthritis assessment before and after the trial was 22.43 ± 1.65 and 32.07 ± 2.62 respectively, with a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) also the mean pain scores were 4.25 ± 0.34 and 2.13 ± 0.17 respectively, with significantly different decreases (p<0.05). Moreover, after the fifth experiment, it was found that the experimental group could straighten and flex the knee more significantly different from the control group (p<0.05), which was probably the result of using the stretching chair innovation. It could help to manage the knee regularly.
Conclusion : This innovation was an alternative for the elderly. It can be used in conjunction with a doctor's treatment plan to help the elderly reduce pain and improve the degree of flexion and extension of the knee joint.
