INTRODUCTION
The World Health Organization (WHO) report recognized knee torment, as the eighth driving reason for non-lethal weight on the planet in 2000, representing 2.6 percent of the complete year lost because of disability (Bhatia et al., 2013). Knee torment is an extremely normal event in the older grownup populace. The knee is the biggest and most complex joint in the body. Wounds and illnesses of the knee are regular wellsprings of handicap, agony and lost days from work. Uneasiness might be related to a wide range of infections. The agony can in luence the capacity to move around, take an interest in a day by day exercises and rest serenely (Bhuvaneswari et al., 2020). The reasons for torment, for the most part, start in the knee joint. Normal reasons for knee torment are osteoarthritis, A torn meniscus (Lin et al., 2004). Rheumatoid joint in lammation or In lammatory Arthritis, Gout, Knee joint disease, Tendonitis or Bursitis. Osteoarthritis is the most widely recognized reason for knee torment in the older grown-up. Osteoarthritis is the mileage kind of joint in lammation that we are largely dependent upon (Gauthaman and Saleem, 2009). The rate is marginally higher in ladies than men. Expanding paces of corpulence and diminished paces of activity have brought about a pestilence of osteoarthritis in our general public (Hsu et al., 2013). Most patients experience a moderate, steady expansion in agony and expanding. Actually, there is regularly a bandy-legged appearance, particularly with weight-bearing. Inside the knee, a ix like loss of covering ligament on the inish of the bones permits the unresolved issues together. Normally the joint in lammation is additionally connected with a longstanding meniscus tear. Introductory treatment comprises rest, ice, anti-incendiary drugs, weight reduction and low effect practice program. Injectable greases up are accessible for joint in lammation knee and can brie ly decrease indications in moderate cases.
Dietary enhancements are regularly supported (glucosamine and chondroitin); however, have never been demonstrated viable in logical examinations. For serious joint pain, knee substitution medical procedure has incredibly high achievement and patient ful illment rates (Ingle and Nath, 2008). Entanglement of knee torment is not all knee is not kidding. Be that as it may, some knee wounds and ailments, for example, osteoarthritis, can prompt expanded agony, joint harm and incapacity whenever left untreated (American Geriatrics Society Panel on Exercise and Osteoarthritis, 2001). The extract (oil) acquired from the sesame seeds otherwise called sesamumindicum, is an incredible decision for kneading as it is stacked with a wide assortment of supplements, including nutrients and fundamental minerals, for example, calcium, copper and zinc, which advance digestion just as blood course. The sesame oil additionally helps the creation of red platelets in our body (Boring et al., 2015).
The presence of zinc improves the bone mineral thickness, hence upgrading the nature of bones, copper, then again, shows some critical calming properties, in this manner diminishing the torment and decreasing the growing related with joints. Simultaneously, it additionally forti ies the bones and joints. Sesame oil additionally contains omega-3 unsaturated fats, alongside some mono saturated fats, which are particularly useful for the soundness of our bones. Besides, this oil likewise advances the rate at which the bones develop a lot in the body. Not just that, it likewise accelerates the mending of bones, All these properties together make sesame oil very powerful as a skin drug, and an unmistakable ixing in the greater part of the agony is easing rub oils and treatments. In this manner kneading the joint with sesame oils and salves, subsequently rubbing the joint with sesame oil bene its in dimin-ishing the torment just as growing, and furthermore forti ies the bones (Mock and Cherian, 2008).
Likewise, lignans, for example, sesamin have been portrayed to alleviate torment. In this investigation, we utilized the Saman brand of sesame oil, which the past examination (Sadeghi et al., 2010), demonstrated the most noteworthy substance of sesamollignans in this brand. In light of late examination, sesamin is one of the dynamic mixes in sesame oil and legitimize the antinociceptive and mitigating properties of this item (Érika Monteiro et al., 2014). However, further investigations are important to comprehend the components of activity and correspond pharmacological movement with a compound piece of sesame oil (Nadler et al., 2004). The examiner came to realize that numerous older are experiencing joint agony, solidness and force the impact on exercises of day by day living. A high dreariness of knee torment needs reinforcing of geriatric medical care administrations both network and clinic-based. Thus, the investigator felt a need to undertake a study to assess the effectiveness of light pressure stroking massage with sesame oil in alleviating acute knee joint pain among elderly adults.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
A quasi-experimental approach and one group pre and post-test research design were used to conduct the study. The investigator obtained formal permission. The data collected from the 30 subjects from rural community area, Kondanchery, Chennai, who met the inclusion criteria through purposive sampling technique. The investigator obtained the written informed consent. Pre and post-test method was adopted. The demographic variable was collected by a structured questionnaire. The pre-test level knee joint pain was assessed with the Western Ontario Mac Master Scale. Followed by that light pressure stroking massage with sesame oil was given for 20 minutes. This intercession was planned for 6 meetings for 3 weeks. After the 3 weeks, the post-test was directed with a similar scale. The gathered information was investigated with descriptive and inferential statistics.

Frequency and percentage distribution of demographic variables among elders
Out of 30 samples, Majority (40%) of the elderly adult were in the age of 41-45 years; females were 60%, (100%) were married, 93.3% were Christians, 23.3% had completed their schooling, 83.3% were non-vegetarian, 96.7% did not perform the exercise.   Figure 1 The duration of knee joint pain was 66.7%, 23.3% and 10% since 0-1, 1-3 and 3-5 years respectively. Figure 2 Regarding the type treatment, 20% had taken alternative. 33.3% external and 46.7% oral. Figure 3 In respect of body mass index 26.7%, 23.3% and 40% had <18.5, 18.5-25 and 25-30 respectively.    (Rabenda et al., 2006). The current examination demonstrated that the meantime of considered example was out of 30 samples, Majority (40%) of the old grown-up ere in the age of 41-45 years. What's more, the excess was above 35-40 years (33.3%) and having a place with 46-50years (26.6%). This inding is predictable with (Sarzi-Puttini et al., 2005) who revealed that the rate of osteoarthritis increases with age and the pervasiveness increments generously after the age of 50 years in lady and 55 years in men. Concerning, Puttini et al. referenced that knee osteoarthritis is regular in a lady than men. This is in accordance with the consequences of the current examination, which expressed that, 75% of considered example were females. Our examination inding likewise male and females were 40 and 60 rates individually. Present study viability of lightweight with seasame oil knead results shows that the mean pretest knee torment level was 1.9 with a standard deviation of 12.69 and the post-test mean was 0.59 with a standard deviation of 17.03 separately. The test centrality of was estimation utilizing combined t-test. The acquired t esteem is 6.84, which was critical p<.00001.  (Hsu et al., 2013) af irmed that one hundred and four patients were haphazardly selected two arms of the preliminary. Patients were treated by effective sesame oil or diclofenac for about a month. Result measures were knee torment through simple visual scale, Western Ontario and McMaster colleges osteoarthritis record survey, knee joints lexion analgesics. Patients were and a number of utilized analgesics. Patients were assessed at the gauge, 2 and afterwards a month after the mediation. It appears to be that the skin sesame oil was non-mediocre compared to diclofenac gel on the decrease of the knee OA agony and improvement of certain pointers of its function. In connection to the results of the diverse treatment modalities, it was presumed that redness happened in more than 33% of contemplated test in the wake of applying the warm treatment (Sadeghi et al., 2010).
This outcome corresponds with (Nadler et al., 2004) who summed up that warm modalities furnish critical relief from discomfort with low results (Saleem et al., 2011). The association between posttest knee pain level reduction score and their demographic variables. Statistical signi icance calculated using chi-square. Age (X 2 =6.075, p<.047955), Exercise (X 2 =2.9814, p=<.084228), Body max index (X 2 =10.0974, p<.017756). Were signi icantly associated with the posttest level of knee pain. It is summed up in an investigation (Coggon et al., 2001) that, a higher weight ile essentially associated with an expanded danger of joint substitution because of osteoarthritis. This is in concurrence with the discoveries of this examination that demonstrated that the mean weight list of the considered example was 37.65±5.6kg/m (Sarzi-Puttini et al., 2005). Likewise, (AlBlooshi et al., 2016) referenced that the weight record of the example was 36.75± 5.16k/m (AlBlooshi et al., 2016). Hence, there is a critical distinction in the degree of knee torment when lightweight stroking kneads with sesame oil was acknowledged.
