Abstract
A study was conducted to examine the effect of massage with aromatic ginger and orange essential oil on knee pain of elderly people, in selected old age home, Coimbatore. Quasi experimental one group pre test post test design was found to be appropriate to meet the objective of the study. Purposive samples of 40 elderly people were selected for the study. Western Ontario McMaster Scale (WOMAC) was administered to assess the level of knee pain. Aromatic ginger and orange essential oil massage was given for duration of 20 minutes per day for six sessions in scheduled timing over a period of three weeks. Post test was conducted to assess the level of knee pain after the intervention using the same scale. Appropriate statistical technique was employed to test the hypothesis. The result shows that there is significant reduction in knee pain among elderly people after the intervention. Thus, aromatic ginger and orange essential oil massage was found to be effective in reducing knee pain.
