Abstract
Background: Ergonomic hazards are the most important causes of knee osteoarthritis (OA) in aged para rubber farmers. Ergonomic management comprising working condition improvement and muscle strengthening exercise has been well-documented in terms of workers’ health benefit. However, those interventions were not adequate to sustain the advantage. Few studies have demonstrated the effect of integrating participatory ergonomic management (PEM) in Non-Weight-Bearing Exercise (NWE) and Progressive Resistance Exercise (PRE) and none has focused on aged para rubber farmers with knee osteoarthritis. This study investigated the effect of PEM-NWE, PEM-PRE and standard treatment (STG) on self-care and functional ability in the aged population.
