Abstract

Joint pain is a major problem that will affect daily activities in the elderly. One of the ways to reduce joint
pain in the elderly is to do joint motion physical exercises. Stiff joints, limited movement, slow acting
time, unsteadiness when walking, poor balance, circulatory disorders, vision problems, hearing problems,
touch problems, and joint pain lead to reduced activity in daily living ADL. This study aims to analyze the
effect of daily activities on reducing joint pain. This research utilized a quasi-experimental with one group
pretest– posttest design. Pain scale used the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). ADL was measured using the
Katz S index. The population of this study was elderly aged 60-74 years. The samples were selected using
a purposive sampling technique, totaling 26 people in the treatment group who met the inclusion criteria.
The independent variable in this study was performing daily activities (ADL), and the dependent variable
was the elderly with complaints of joint pain. Paired Simple T-test to assess significance in the pre-
treatment and post-treatment groups. There were 24 elderly who experienced a decrease in joint pain. The
results showed that there was a significant difference after carrying out the activity (p = 0.001). ADL is
effective in reducing joint pain in the elderly.
