The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of balance ability in elderly women by the knee joint training. Thirty two elderly women aged 65 to 80 had been participated in this study. AII the patient were treated 3 times session weekly for 5 weeks. The participants were divided randomly as group 1 (n = 8) , group 11 (n = 8), group 111 (n = 8), and group IV(n = 8).
In group of participants were non treatment. In group 11 of participants were exercised only QSE(Quadriceps Setting Exercise). In group 111 of participants were exercised using Thera band. In group IV of participants were exercised both QSE and using Thera band. For 5 weeks , three(group 11 , 111 , IV) exercise group took the training an hour in each 3days of a week and we raised the intensity of exercise of three groups following two weeks from the start. We compared the group 1 with the other groups.
The results obtained are as followings First, Experimental group 11 , 111 , IV were showed significant difference, especially experimental group IV was only showed greatest significant difference in comparision with group 1 in change of quadriceps strength , pressure pain threshold , one leg stance test, timed up and go test, WOMAC according to 5 weeks(P< .001).
In conclusion this study showed that group IV compared to group I had significantly change than group 11 and group 111 compared to group 1 in all test. Therefore, this study revealed that quadriceps intensive training has the affirmative ifluence on function of knee joint in elderly adults.
