Abstract

 Obesity remains a major predisposing factor for osteoarthritis, this subject with left hemiparesis and dyskinesia. Physiotherapy, resisted exercises using Physioball and inversion therapy in a two year follow up with  a drop in obesity, improved quality of life and the need to undergo total knee replacements are avoided remains the major outcome of this case study.

Keywords: TKA – Total Knee Arthroplasty, OA – Osteoarthrosis, ROM – Range of Motion.
