Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of the cartilage, it is very common in the
population generally persons performing activities that require repetitive joint or impact
movements, due to multifactorial causes encompassing intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors.
Intrinsic risk factors are age, sex and genetics on the other hand in the extrinsic is identify
previous injuries, level of activity and high impact sports. It has been shown that physical
activity has some benefits such as reduction of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes type
2 in the same way positively affects bone mineral density and weight control.
For who should avoid high impact activities can provide education about OA and
seek alternative treatments such as swimming or biking. Symptoms may include
pain in the common line, edema, crepitation, decreased range of movement and
deformity.
For people who should avoid high-impact activities can find alternative treatments
such as swimming or biking, avoiding the presence of symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS
To mitigate the risks and optimize the operation, there are strategies for
strengthening and biomechanical analysis.
