Pengaruh Terapi Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, Micro Wave Diathermy, dan Terapi Latihan Terhadap Permasalahan Osteoartritis Lutut

Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) called as also degenerative joint disease or hypertrophy arthritis. This disease is damage of joint cartilage growing is slow and relates to people old age. Problems clinic osteoarthritis at knee hardly komplek. With symptom klinis; pain in bone, joint inertia, limitation of motion scope of joint, krepitasi, weakness of muscle and muscle atrophy around knee joint, swelling, deformity and Instabilitas knee joint. Problems or clinic symptom osteoarthritis very often is pain in bone at knee. With existence of sigh of klinis can influence function of patient knee and can generate permasalahan/gangguan when having activity. Application physiotherapy in clinic there are some modality choices that is commonly use clinic to lessen symptom as result of OA knee, for example therapy TENS ( transcutaneus electrical nerve stimulation). micro wave diathermy ( MWD) and exercise therapy. This research aim to know therapy TENS, micro wave diathermy and exercise therapy to problems of osteoarthritis knee. This research applies method pra-eksperimental, with approach of one group pretest-posttest design. Number of samples at this research 30 samples, way of sampling applies method Sequential Random Sampel that is sample taken step by step based on arrival of patient at random matching with criterion inklusi and eksklusi.

Data obtained by normal distribution, statistical test applies test t - dependent test ( paired t-test). result of test is gotten total score WOMAC there is change that signifikan with value p = . 000 ( < 0,05 ). The resultly inferential there are therapy influence transcutaneoeus electrical nerve stimulation ( TENS), micro wive diathermy ( MWD), and exercise therapy to problems of osteoarthritis knee. Hopefully this research can continue and earns good for researcher, medical energy and or common public Keyword : osteoarthritis,tens,mwd and exercise therapy
