目的：评价水中运动和教育对老年髋关节骨关节炎（OA）患者跌倒危险因素的影响。方法：79名65岁或以上的髋关节OA患者，至少有一个跌倒风险因素，被随机分配到3组之一：水上运动和教育（AE;每周两次水上运动，每周一次组教育），仅水上运动（A; 2周水上运动）和对照组（C;日常活动）。平衡，福尔斯功效，双任务功能，功能性能（椅子站），和步行性能进行了测量前和干预后或控制期。结果如下：跌倒风险因素显著改善（全因子MANCOVA，基线值作为协变量; p = 0.038）;与C组相比，AE的福尔斯疗效改善，与A和C组相比，功能表现改善。结论：水上运动和教育相结合可有效改善患有关节炎的老年人跌倒危险因素。
Objective: To evaluate the effect of aquatic exercise and education on fall risk factors in older adults with hip osteoarthritis (OA). Method: Seventy-nine adults, 65 years of age or older with hip OA and at least 1 fall risk factor, were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups: aquatics and education (AE; aquatic exercise twice a wk with once-a-wk group education), aquatics only (A; 2 wk aquatic exercise) and control (C; usual activity). Balance, falls efficacy, dual-task function, functional performance (chair stands), and walking performance were measured pre- and postintervention or control period. Results: There was a significant improvement in fall risk factors (full-factorial MANCOVA, baseline values as covariates; p = .038); AE improved in falls efficacy compared with C and in functional performance compared with A and C. Conclusion: The combination of aquatic exercise and education was effective in improving fall risk factors in older adults with arthritis.
