Evaluation of a period of Traband training on knee Proprioception Changes in Older men with knee Osteoarthritis

Background and Osteoarthritis occur as a result of the destruction of the articular cartilage, and one of the oldest and most common diseases among the elderly. This study was done to Evaluation of a period of Traband training on knee Proprioception Changes in Older men with knee Osteoarthritis.
Population includes active older men with knee osteoarthritis in West Azerbaijan. 20 active man who paid at least twice a week to exercise, into two groups of 10 patients were randomly divided. Subjects for 8 weeks, three times a week program performed. Electro-goniometer was used to measure the knee Proprioception. To analyze data, independent t-test was used for evaluating results of between groups, and a Paired t test was used to check results from within groups.
Results of this study showed that, Comparison within groups, knee Proprioception (p = 0.0001) was a significant difference in the group Traband. In comparison between groups knee Proprioception (p = 0.013) there was a significant difference.
The Traband training significantly improves knee proprioception in active older men with knee osteoarthritis.
