Osteoarthritis of the Knee
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition where the protective cartilage in the knee gradually wears down over time. This leads to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion that can make everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, or standing from a chair more challenging. It is one of the most common causes of disability among older adults.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that primarily affects the cartilage, the smooth tissue that cushions the ends of bones in joints. As cartilage breaks down, bones may rub together, causing pain, stiffness, and loss of function. Osteoarthritis is particularly common among older adults, affecting millions of people worldwide.
Joint Pain
Joint pain is a common complaint, especially among older adults. It can significantly impact quality of life, limiting mobility and causing discomfort. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for joint pain is essential for maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle.
Stiffness
Stiffness, often characterized by a limited range of motion in joints, is a common complaint, particularly among older adults. It can affect various joints, including the knees, hips, shoulders, and back. While it can be a normal part of aging, stiffness can also be a symptom of underlying health conditions.
