Objective:To explore the effects of 6-week Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation(PNF)training on joint pain,physical stability and stair gait in the elderly with knee osteoarthritis(KOA).Methods:36 volunteers from the community were randomly assigned to the PNF group and the control group.The PNF group received PNF training,and the control group participated in health education lectures,all for 1 hour each time,3 times a week,for 6 weeks.Data was collected before and after 6-week intervention,including pain score,physical stability,active joint range of motion(ROM),joint angles and joint moment,respectively.Two-way ANOVA with repeated measures was used to evaluate the intervention effects.Results:Compared with the pre-intervention,the PNF group significantly reduced the pain score;shortened the time of Timed Up&Go test;increased the Berg Balance Scale score,the active ROM,the peak hip adduction moment;and decreased the peak knee adduction moment after the intervention.Conclusion:PNF intervention can effectively relieve joint pain,improve physical stability and stair gait,which can be popularized in KOA clinical treatment.
