“…In fact, for one participant the pool temperature of 26° Celsius (78.8° F) was sufficient reason to pull out of this study. The importance of water temperature in our study agrees with Bunning & Materson (1991) who reported that compliance to an aqua-based exercise program decreases among people with OA when the water temperature drops below 29° Celsius (84.2° F). It is likely that the warmer pool temperature during the HYD sessions contributed to participants scoring this session highest for relaxation.…”

“…Moderate increases found in mean JC (8%) and ASI (3%) from baseline to the pre-exercise test may reflect normal variability in disease symptoms, since no treatment changes occurred during this time. In contrast, the reductions in JC (39%) and ASI (41%) are similar in magnitude to the changes found in disease symptoms in adults with arthritis following some common medications (37).…”

Objective. To investigate the effects of an 8-week, 24-session weight-bearing physical conditioning program on disease signs and symptoms in children with chronic arthritis.Methods. In a within-subjects, repeated measures design, 25 subjects, ages 8 -17 years, with chronic polyarticular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), were assessed at study entry, after an 8-week control period, and after an 8-week exercise period, for 1) disease status, based on joint count (JC) and articular severity index (ASI) (sum of scores for joint swelling, pain on motion, tenderness, and limitations of motion); 2) worst pain during the past week, using a 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS), and 3) aerobic endurance, using the 9-minute run-walk test of the Health Related Physical Fitness Test battery. The 60-minute conditioning program included warm-up (10 minutes), low-impact aerobics (25 minutes), strengthening (15 minutes), and cool-down and flexibility exercises (10 minutes). Subjects exercised twice a week at their rheumatology center and once a week at home, using a commercial exercise videotape supplied by the investigator. Results. Significant improvement was found in the ASI (Friedman analysis of variance [ANOVA]), JC, and 9-minute run-walk test (repeated measures ANOVA) from the pre-to post-exercise tests. Mean VAS pain scores decreased 16% from study entry to the post-exercise test. Statistically significant improvement (reliable change index Ͼ 1.96) occurred in 80% of subjects on the ASI and 72% on the JC. Conclusion.Children and adolescents with chronic polyarticular JRA can improve their aerobic endurance through participation in weight-bearing physical conditioning programs without disease exacerbation or increased pain, and may achieve decreased joint signs and symptoms through increased physical activity.

“…Specifi c ways of fostering adherence among people with osteoarthritis include education programs such as the Arthritis Self-Management Program by Lorig, Mazonson, and Holman (1993;Weinberger, William, Boohere, & Katz, 1989). Others include the use of recreational exercise (Minor et al, 1989), and the use of a pool or any other exercise format that promotes socialization may similarly improve adherence to a recommended exercise regimen (Bunning & Materson, 1991). Another related and successful approach for people with knee osteoarthritis is the supplementation of a home-exercise program with a class-based exercise program as outlined by McCarthy et al (2004).…”

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease that disables many aging adults. People with OA are often asked to adhere to prescribed exercise regimens that must be undertaken in the presence of pain and other disease-related symptoms. We conducted a review of literature that focused on what is known about exercise adherence and the factors that infl uence exercise adherence among people with OA. Results revealed multiple determinants of exercise adherence; however, these determinants have not been carefully studied in the context of exercise adherence and OA. Almost all studies of exercise adherence among people with OA are short-term and do not use validated measures of adherence. Moreover, poor adherence is the most compelling explanation for the declining impact of the benefi ts of exercise over time. We conclude that interventions to enhance self-effi cacy, social support, and skills in long-term monitoring of progress are necessary to foster exercise adherence among people with OA.
