This systematic review found that aquatic exercise-based interventions are effective for reducing pain and joint dysfunction, and improving quality of life among patients with osteoarthritis.
This systematic review examined papers published in Korean, English and newer publications that were not included in previous studies to assess the effect size of aquatic exercise-based interventions on pain, quality of life and joint dysfunction among patients with osteoarthritis. Six national and international databases were used to review literature (published up to 7 March 2019) on randomized controlled trials of aquatic exercise-based interventions in patients with osteoarthritis. For the 20 studies included, a meta-analysis showed that aquatic exercise produces 0.61-point reduction (n = 756; mean difference (MD) = -0.61; 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.90--0.32) in pain compared with a control group, and aquatic exercise was effective in reducing pain (n = 315; MD = -0.28; 95% CI: -0.50--0.05) compared with a land-based exercise group. Another metaanalysis showed that aquatic exercise produces 0.77-point improvement in quality of life (n = 279; MD = -0.77; 95% CI: -1.38--0.15) compared with a control group. Finally, a meta-analysis showed that aquatic exercise produces 0.34-point reduction in joint dysfunction (n = 279; MD = -0.77; 95% CI: -1.38--0.15) compared with a control group. For patients with osteoarthritis, aquatic-exercise-based interventions are effective for reducing pain and joint dysfunction and improving quality of life.
