Research Abstract

The present study examined the short-and long-term effect of water-based exercise program on functional fitness, health-related QOL among frail elderly women with lower-limb pain. Elderly women aged 65 years or older with confirmed knee and/or low back pain participated in a 12-week water-based exercise program. The findings indicate that the water-based exercise program can not only improve functional mobility and lower muscular strength, but also enhance general health perception and reduce bodily pain perception on health-related QOL among elderly women with lower-limb pain.
