ABSTRACT
This experimental research aimed to examine the effects of Thai herbal
massage on knee joint pain, knee joint stiffness, electromyogram biofeedback levels
and activity of daily living in older adult with knee osteoarthritis. The sample
population was 70 elderly Thais with knee osteoarthritis receiving Thai herbal
massage treatment at Baan Wat Kampaeng Health Promoting Hospital selected by
using simple random sampling, 35 persons in the experimental and 35 in the control
group. In this regard, the control group received Diclofenac, 25 mg 3 times a day after
meals for 7 days, consecutively. The experimental group received Diclofenac 25mg 3
times a day after meals together with 1 hour Thai herbal massage treatment for 7 days,
consecutively. The instrument used to test the effects of Thai massage was an
electromyogram biofeedback (EMG) machine, and data was analyzed by descriptive
statistics, independent t- test, and paired t-test.
The results revealed that after the experiment, the mean of the
experimental group of knee joint pain, knee joint stiffness, and difficulty of activity of
daily living in older adults with knee osteoarthritis was smaller than the control group
with statistical significance (p<.001). The mean of the experimental group for
electromyogram biofeedback was smaller than the control group and was statistically
insignificant (p>.05). This study shows that Thai herbal massage can alleviate knee
joint pain, knee joint stiffness, electromyogram biofeedback levels, and activity of
daily living in older adults with knee osteoarthritis. Moreover, older adults with knee
osteoarthritis felt benefits from herbal compression. So, these results show that a Thai
herbal ball compress could complement pharmacologic treatment for relieving pain
and joint stiffness, and increase comfort in older adults with knee osteoarthritis.
Herbal ball massage can be combined with modern medicine as a nursing intervention
for knee osteoarthritis.
