What are the rehabilitation guidelines for knee osteoarthritis

In order to get effective recovery from knee osteoarthritis, we should pay attention to care in life. First of all, proper exercise is indispensable. Exercise is a good way to help us prevent and improve joint diseases. At the same time, we should also pay attention to some warming of the knee joints. No matter what season it is, we should avoid cold wind and pay attention to keeping warm. Air conditioning should not be used for a long time, especially in summer.

1. Proper exercise

1. For osteoarthritis of the knee, if you want to recover better after treatment, proper exercise is definitely a good method.

2. But what constitutes appropriate exercise? It is indeed difficult to strike the right balance. How to say it? You know, theoretically, proper mechanical load stimulation can induce the knee joint to adapt and develop in a positive direction, which is a protective factor; however, inappropriate exercise (excessive exercise) will damage the knee joint. This risk factor will stop the recovery of the knee joint or even cause it to deteriorate.

3. So, how to say this? There is no way at the moment. We can only base our opinion on life experience. It is better to exercise less than to over-exercise. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. If you have excellent medical resources to support you, they will worry about the issue of the "degree" of exercise.

2. Keep your knee joints warm

1. In summer, if you wear shorts and want to go out to cool down, it’s okay to go out, but your knee joints may get cold, because you are directly facing the summer breeze, which is more comfortable as it gets closer to the evening, but your knee joints may not be able to bear it (as for noon, I guess no one goes out to enjoy the cool air); if you stay at home, it’s also very dangerous to turn on the air conditioner randomly. After all, since it’s so hot in summer, you won’t bring special "protection" for your knees, and the possibility of getting cold is greatly increased.

2. The situation in winter is better for people who know that they need to protect their knees and wear knee pads because of the cold weather. But for those who have no protection, the situation is bad. The degree of cold knees in winter and summer is definitely different. Even if you catch a cold in the summer, the symptoms will not be very serious, and may even heal on their own without much problem. However, if you catch a cold in the winter, the symptoms of osteoarthritis may appear immediately, and this is not an exaggeration.

3. Reduce unreasonable exercise and avoid bad posture

This is an issue that requires attention. There are so many types of sports. Running is the most convenient but it does not mean it is the best choice. On the contrary, long-term running will definitely damage the knee joints. If you want to choose to exercise, why can't you swim, ride a bicycle, etc.! Long-term running, jumping, squatting, or even climbing stairs are not reasonable, because this will put the knee joint in a "weight-bearing position" for a long time, which puts a lot of pressure on the knee joint.
