Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disorder having a significant economic impact on our health system world wide. Osteoarthritis is known to be most frequent in the lower extremity, especially the knee joint, where pathological joint impact and shear forces as well as posttraumatic risk factors cause early cartilage degeneration and “joint aging" . The predominant symptoms are pain, a decreased joint range of motion (ROM) and stiffness,  muscle weakness around the adjoining joints and atrophy, joint effusion and swelling, and physical disability. Osteoarthritis can often times lead to secondary problems as causing difficulties with mobility and imbalance. Osteoarthritis symptoms can make it difficult for an older adult to climb stairs or even get out of a chair. Additionally, osteoarthritis can make it hard for an aging individual to complete daily chores like cleaning the house or walking the dog. Thankfully, there are a few practical tips you can follow if you start to feel pain creeping into your joints. As an example, partaking in exercises that strengthen the muscles around the aching joint will help to stabilize and protect the joint, thereby decreasing the pain. Furthermore, by practicing senior balance exercises you can improve your steadiness and reduce the risk of falling that accompanies joint pain and stiffness.
