Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Proprioception is critical for older adults to maintain their balance and prevent falling. However, massage is a convenient intervention that its beneficial effect on the proprioception is suggested.
UNASSIGNED: This study aimed to determine whether one session of stimulating massage of the muscles around the knee joint improves position sense in older adult men.
UNASSIGNED: Twenty healthy older adults participated in this blind, randomized, crossover trial. The two treatment phases were massage and rest. The washout period between interventions was a 1-week interval. The massage protocol was as follows: deep effleurage, petrissage, and tapotement for 5 minutes for the anterior (tensor fascia lata, quadriceps, sartorius, and gracilis) and posterior (hamstrings) muscles of the knee (10 minutes in total).
UNASSIGNED: Outcome measures were absolute, constant, and variable errors (AE, CE, and VE). Participants were assessed immediately before and after the intervention by a blinded investigator. Independent t-tests were used for statistical analyses. Massage reduced absolute error (2.77°, p = 0.01).
UNASSIGNED: The finding of this study confirms the beneficial impact of the massage on the joint position sense in healthy older adult men.

摘要：
■本体感受对于老年人保持平衡和防止跌倒至关重要。然而,按摩是一种方便的干预措施，建议其对本体感觉的有益作用。
■这项研究旨在确定一次刺激膝关节周围肌肉的按摩是否可以改善老年成年男性的姿势感。
■20名健康的老年人参加了这个盲人，随机化，交叉试验。两个治疗阶段是按摩和休息。干预之间的冲洗期为1周间隔。按摩方案如下：深度脱毛，Petrissage,并对前部（张肌筋膜，股四头肌,Sartorius,和gra肌）和膝盖的后部（腿筋）肌肉（总共10分钟）。
■结果指标是绝对的，常数,和变量错误(AE，CE,和VE）。参与者在干预之前和之后立即由一名盲人研究者进行评估。统计学分析采用独立t检验。按摩减少绝对误差(2.77°,p=0.01)。
■这项研究的发现证实了按摩对健康的老年成年男性的关节位置感的有益影响。
