ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to determine whether exercise using a reformer has a positive effect on balance and walking ability in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty due to aging. In this study, 30 patients were randomly assigned to the experimental group and 15 patients to the control group using random tables. As an intervention method, the experimental group exercised with a reformer for 6 weeks and the control group did slide exercise. As measuring tools, the stand-up and walk test was used to measure balance ability, and the 10-meter walk test was used measure walking ability. Independent sample tests were conducted for each group analysis, and corresponding sample tests were conducted for in-group analysis. As a result of this study, there was a notable change in the balance in the group comparison of the experimental group(p<0.05). There were notable changes in gait in the experimental group and the control group(p<0.05). There was a statistically notable change in the balance and gait after intervention in the experimental group(p<0.05). These results suggest that the group applying the reformer has a positive effect on the balance and gait ability of patients undergoing total hip replacement.
