home-based exercise, resistance band, cartilage degeneration, glycated haemoglobin control, diabetes mellitus
Brief summary
Whether elastic band resistance exercise (EBRE) as a home-based rehabilitation routine can control the glycated heamoglobin (HbA1c) level and improve the muscle strength, dynamic balance, and physical function in older patients with comorbid T2DM and knee OA?
Detailed description
Design: Randomised controlled trial. Participants: Seventy patients diagnosed with T2DM together with knee OA. Intervention: Patients in the experimental and control group were instructed by clinical staff to perform home-based exercises and followed up through phone calls. The experimental group performed exercises using an elastic resistance band with 10 repetitions/set × 5 sets/day × 3 days/week. The control group underwent active joint range-of-motion exercises and isometric contraction exercises. The intervention regimens lasted 12 weeks.
