Abstract

Background:  Osteoarthritis is one of the leading causes of disability and increases the global burden of disease  Objectives: 1). To determine the incidence of osteoarthritis of the knee and related factors in the elderly 2). To evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation by exercise methods. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study on 325 elderly people who came for examination and treatment at U Minh Medical Center by convenient sampling method. Result: Theincidence of knee osteoarthritis in the elderly was 72.3%. A statistically significant association was found between osteoarthritis of the knee and a history of knee joint injury, severe labor subjects, and knee joint pain duration of more than 5 years. After conducting a motor therapy intervention in 235 patients after 30 days of treatment, the VAS score decreased by an average of 2.07 points, the Lequesne score in the intervention group was 6.86 points lower than the average control group, and the WOMAC score in the intervention group was 27.33 points lower than the average control group. Conclusion: Knee joint rehabilitation method effectively improves VAS pain level and improves the patient's motor function.
