Joint care
Prevalent cases of OA increased to 527.81 million in 20191 worldwide.
Osteoarthritis is the single most common cause of disability in older adults. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a long-term chronic disease characterized by the deterioration of cartilage in joints which results in bones rubbing together and creating stiffness, pain and impaired movement. The disease most commonly affects the joints in the knees, hands, feet and spine and is relatively common in shoulder and hip joints. While OA is related to aging, it is also associated with a variety of risk factors, such as obesity, lack of exercise, occupational injury and trauma. Through various strategies spanning from physical therapy to medical devices, from drugs to surgery, the treatment of OA aims to relieve pain and improve function.
