The osteoarthritis patients who had the applied rehabilitation programme after SBTKA with intensive supervision of the physiotherapist for 1 month have obtained more improvements in balance and functional parameters, and it was demonstrated that their performances approached the healthy control group values. As a clinical relevance of our study, intensive supervision of rehabilitation programme should be provided to the patients after SBTKA surgery to accomplish early balance and functional improvements.

Our results showed that 92.8% adults had pain. Although shoulder has highest pain prevalance, severe pain was mostly described in lowback area. Knee pain was largely interfered work ability. An important percent of persons experiencing pain has recieved no treatment and first preference for treatment was drug. Inspite of high pain prevalence in our study, slightly uncomfortable pain severity and no need for treatment can be explain a result of individual differences in pain perception.

The ease of applying WBV furthermore supports its inclusion in daily treatment protocols for age-related decline in balance performance in women and improved balance and mobility measures associated with increased fall risk.
