Osteoarthritis vs. Rheumatoid Heber dens nodes Treatment O The process underlying osteoarthritis cannot be reversed, but symptoms can usually be effectively managed. O Exercising and weight loss is one of the most beneficial ways to treat osteoarthritis. Study 1 O Purpose: To assess how dance based exercise and Tai Chi can improve quality of life with people with arthritis. O Methods: 19 people (n=10 controlled group, n=9 sedentary). O Results: The data reveal that dance-based exercises and Tai Chi may be very useful rehabilitation strategies for people with different forms of arthritis. Study 2 O Purpose: This study demonstrate the benefits of moderate-intensity exercises on physical activity and mental health in RA patients compared to their sedentary counterparts. O Methods: 22 patients (n=11 training group and n=11 sedentary group). O Results: The sedentary group showed negative affects due to lack of exercise. Study 3 O Purpose: To assess balance and function on subjects with knee osteoarthritis and look at the influence of physical exercise. O Methods: Subjects were divided into three groups: Group 1 (n = 15), symptomatic knee OA; Group 2 (n = 11), asymptomatic knee OA; and Group 3 (n = 16), knee OA and no intervention. O Results: Group 1 showed a significant difference in pain and functional domains. Group 2 showed significant differences in decreased time on the Step Up/Over test and postural sway increased.
