KNEE SUPPORT KHUSUS: SOLUSI UNTUK PASIEN NYERI OSTEOARTRITIS LUTUT
Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis is a musculoskeletal disorder that can cause pain, limited mobility, and reduced physical function. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of using a special knee support in reducing pain among patients with knee osteoarthritis. A pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted among 50 patients with knee osteoarthritis pain receiving physiotherapy services in the Karanganyar Regency area. Pain intensity was measured before and after the use of the special knee support using the Visual Analog Scale. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test following a normality test. The results showed a reduction in pain intensity after the use of the special knee support, with all respondents experiencing a decrease in pain scores. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant difference in pain intensity before and after the intervention. The use of a special knee support had the potential to serve as a non-pharmacological intervention to help reduce pain and improve comfort among patients with knee osteoarthritis.
