Osteoarthritis Arthritis
Osteoarthritis is a progressive form of arthritis which is characterized by breakdown of the cartilage in joints [1]. Osteoarthritis is abbreviated as OA and is also known as degenerative joint disease. Osteoarthritis will cause pain in the joints with activity. The knees and the hips are common joint locations that are affected with osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is common in people over 60 years of age, but it can affect younger people when they have had joint injury or surgery [2].
Osteoarthritis develops over decades, offering a long window of time to alter its course potentially. The etiology of osteoarthritis shows strong associations with highly modifiable risk factors such as mechanical overload, obesity and joint injury. Osteoarthritis
