Abstract

Introduction: study of movement disorders and their impact mainly among elderly population needs more emphasis as longeivity is increasing every year globally WHO projected 60% of the population above 60 years, to be geriatrics was the alarm for neurological, musculoskeletal disorders among geriatric subject.

Materials & Methodology: This original research study with a 6 year follow up was conducted in Chennai from April 2012 till August 2018. An octogenarian with dyskinesia gait disturbances, decreased reaction time was treated with physioball based exercises and home programme. Dyskinesia scale were measured and analyzed

Results: an improved dyskinesia scale by P<.05

Conclusion: with regular adherence to physiotherapy home exercises medication by neurophysciain, support from family members, an improved functional activities with reasonable independence and dignified quality of life were the major findings which can be applied on similar subjects.

Keywords: PD, Dyskinesia, Brady Kinesia, DBS, WHO.
