It is conservatively estimated that by the year 2030 25% of the adult population will have arthritis and approximately 9.3% of the adult population will report activity restrictions, ultimately leading to disability (Cheng, Hootman, Murphy, Langmaid, & Helmich, 2010; Hootman & Helmick, 2006). Osteoarthritis is the most common form, of the disease, the knee the most common joint and the prevalence increases with age (Lubar et al., 2010).

520 $a It is conservatively estimated that by the year 2030 25% of the adult population will have arthritis and approximately 9.3% of the adult population will report activity restrictions, ultimately leading to disability (Cheng, Hootman, Murphy, Langmaid, & Helmich, 2010; Hootman & Helmick, 2006). Osteoarthritis is the most common form, of the disease, the knee the most common joint and the prevalence increases with age (Lubar et al., 2010).
520 $a Pain is a predictor of increased functional limitations and future disability (Bookwala et al.2003; Fried, Bandeen-Roche, Chaves, & Johnson, 2000; Guccione et al., 1994; Miller, Rejeski, Messier, & Loeser, 2001) and the depression, sleep problems, and poor health outcomes (Bookwala, Harralson, & Parmelee, 2003; Oster, et al. 2005; Scudds & Ostbye, 2001; Zanocchi, et al., 2008) that often accompany osteoarthritis. Chronic pain (Schechtman et al., 1997, Scudds, et al., 2001), including knee pain (Andersson & Hovelius, 2005) is more prevalent in women and the differences are age related.
520 $a A cure for arthritis is not available, thus interventions must be targeted at the symptoms. Addressing pain, rather than the physical degeneration, may slow the development of functional limitations and disability. Although there are known intervention strategies available many interventions have negative consequences for older adults, or interact poorly with other therapies.
520 $a The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of self-performed acupressure on pain, mobility, disability, sleep, and depression. Acupuncture, manipulating acupoints with needles, is effective for osteoarthritis pain, physical functioning (Barnes, Bloom, and Nahin, 2008; Berman et al., 2004, 1999, 1996; Vas et al., 2004; Witt, et al., 2005), psychological functioning (Vas et al., 2004; Witt et al., 2005) depression, and sleep quality (Feng,2011). Unfortunately, acupuncture is expensive and inconvenient.
520 $a Self-performed acupressure uses pressure, rather than needles to manipulate acupoints. It is an easy, convenient and practical alternative to acupuncture. Both therapies manipulate acupoints, thus similar pain relief may be expected (Cherkin et al., 2009; Gunn, Milbrandt, Little, & Mason, 1980), but this has not been evaluated by research. Although osteoarthritis acupuncture studies lay the groundwork for acupressure, new protocols must be written or established protocols adapted and tested.
