ABSTRACT

The effects of a combined balance and resistance exercise program on knee joint pain (KJP) in community-dwelling older adults were determined. Twenty-eight participants with KJP were divided into an exercise group (EXG: n = 14, 77 ± 4 year) and a control group (n = 14, 77 ± 4 year). The EXG participated in 12 weeks of community-based training. The training program consisted of balance exercise and lower body resistance exercise using body weight. The EXG demonstrated significant improvements in KJP (46%), lower extremity muscular strength (5–26%), Chair Stand (27%), Up and Go (9%), and Functional Reach (17%).
