Abstract: This study used a quasi-experimental research design to compare the effects of Ruesi Dadton exercise on balance ability and quality of life in middle-aged women with early stage knee osteoarthritis. The sample of 16 middle-aged women with early stage knee osteoarthritis, were equally allocated to an experimental group (n=8) and a control group (n=8). The research instruments consisted of the Ruesi Dadton exercise video, Berg Balance Scale (BBS), a self-administered (WHOQOL-BREF-THAI) quality of life questionnaire and satisfaction assessment form. The implementation and data collection were conducted from November, 2016 to June 2017. Statistics used for data analysis included the Wilcoxon signed rank test and Mann-Whitney U test. The research results revealed that, 1) after the experiment, in the experimental group there was a statistically significantly higher mean of balance ability (p<.05), 2) after the experiment, the mean balance ability of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p<.01), and 3) after the experiment, the means of quality of life in physical psychological social relationships and overall quality of life of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (p<.05). This research suggests that Ruesi Dadton exercise is one way to improve balance and quality of life in middle-aged women with early stage knee osteoarthritis.
