Abstract
The avascular necrosis of the femoral head is an increasing cause of the musculoskeletal disability, with diagnostic and therapeutic problems with global increase in prevalence of obesity and its impact on this already painful condition limiting functional activities including walking, self-care etc. are analysed in this study. Aim and Objectives: The aim and objectives of this case study report was (i) to analyse reduction in obesity and its influence on a subject with Avascular Necrosis. (ii) To evaluate clinical and subjective impact with exercises on this subject. Materials and Methodology: Treated with exercises for his obesity and orthopaedic complaints with a frequency of two sessions a week. Each session lasts for 25 – 30 minutes. The intensity of the exercises were at 70% of the maximal heart rate. Results: There is reduction in waist circumference (p < 0.01) and pain level (p < 0.05) as evidenced statistically following exercises, thereby improving cadence and range of motion. Conclusion: The recorded outcome of this research on the effectiveness of conservative physiotherapeutic management on an obese subject with Avascular Necrosis subject, there by delaying in undergoing surgery for the same, benefits of which can be extended on similar obese subjects and with other musculoskeletal disorders.
