Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common age-related joint conditions affecting elderly individuals. It occurs when the protective cartilage between joints gradually wears down, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced movement. The condition commonly affects the knees, hips, spine, and hands. Elderly patients may find it difficult to walk, climb stairs, sit for long periods, or perform household activities comfortably.
