The data were collected using Western Ontano Menchaster Artrhritis (WOMAC) and analyzed using Wilcoxon signed rank test and Mann-whitney test with level of significance p ≤ 0,05. Wilcoxon signed rank test result shown there were differences between pre-post test in the experimental (p=0,004) and control (p=0,011) group.
