http://healthfirstmagazine.blogspot.com/2016/09/stem-cell-therapy-for-knee-pain.html
The knee joint is the largest synovial joint in the body. It is composed of three bones: the femur, tibia, and patella. The knee joint has two articulations: the tibiofemoral joint between the femur and tibia, and the patellofemoral joint between the patella and femur. The knee joint is a compound synovial joint, with the tibiofemoral joint being a hinge type and the patellofemoral joint being a plane type. The knee joint is surrounded by ligaments such as the ACL and PCL, and contains a synovial fluid within its capsule. It also contains menisci that act as cushions and increase stability.
The knee joint is a synovial joint that allows for flexion and extension. It involves the lower end of the femur articulating with the upper end of the tibia and the posterior surface of the patella. The joint is surrounded by a fibrous capsule with thickened medial and lateral collateral ligaments. Within the joint cavity are two cruciate ligaments and two menisci that help stabilize the joint. The knee joint receives nerve supply from four sources and has an interconnecting network of blood vessels around it to provide circulation.
Osteoarthritis is a common joint disease that affects many sites in the body including the hands, knees, and hips. The incidence of osteoarthritis is increasing due to an aging population and rising obesity rates. There are many risk factors for osteoarthritis including age, female sex, genetics, obesity, joint injury, and abnormalities in joint shape. Local factors in the joint environment like muscle weakness, malalignment, and excessive or injurious joint loading can also increase the risk or progression of osteoarthritis. Accurately diagnosing and grading osteoarthritis involves both clinical assessment and radiographic evaluation using scales like the Kellgren-Lawrence grading system.
This document provides an overview of osteoarthritis of the knee, including definition, risk factors, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment options, and surgical considerations. It defines osteoarthritis as cartilage failure induced by genetic and biomechanical factors. Risk factors include age, obesity, injury history. Clinical diagnosis is based on symptoms of pain and stiffness, physical exam findings of crepitus and limited range of motion. Treatment includes weight loss, exercise, braces, medications like acetaminophen, NSAIDs, and injections. Surgery such as arthroscopic debridement or joint replacement may be considered for advanced cases.
The knee joint is the largest and most complicated joint in the body. It allows for both flexion and extension as well as some rotational movement. The knee joint is formed by the articulation of the femoral condyles and tibial plateaus. It contains two menisci that act as shock absorbers and help with joint lubrication. Stability is provided by ligaments like the ACL, PCL, MCL and LCL as well as dynamic stabilizers like the quadriceps muscles. Proper functioning of the knee relies on the intricate interplay of its bony architecture and soft tissue structures.
Osteoarthritis and total joint replacement.ppt (1)Ali Ismail
Osteoarthritis and Total Joint Replacement: Risk Factors, Prevention, and Treatment, and the Effects on Sensory Mechanisms Encountered by Osteoarthritic Total Joint Replacement Patients. This document discusses osteoarthritis, including risk factors like age and obesity, common symptoms like joint pain and stiffness, diagnostic methods like x-rays, and treatment options like physical therapy, medications, joint replacements and resurfacing. It also covers changes to sensory systems like vision and balance that can increase fall risks for osteoarthritic patients and accelerate the need for joint replacement surgery.
Osteoarthritis is characterized by cartilage loss, synovial thickening, and bone changes. It commonly affects the knees, hands, and hips. While age is a risk factor, osteoarthritis has both inflammatory and mechanical components and is influenced by hereditary, constitutional, and environmental factors like obesity and joint injury. Excess weight places mechanical stress on cartilage and adipose tissue may contribute through inflammatory cytokines. Osteoarthritis is now considered a distinct disease entity rather than simply wear and tear of aging.
The knee joint is a complex synovial joint formed by the fusion of the femur, tibia, and patella. It allows for flexion, extension, and rotation. The knee joint is supported by numerous ligaments including the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments. It contains menisci to deepen the tibial surfaces and distribute weight. The knee joint has a synovial membrane and 13 bursae to reduce friction.
This document provides an overview of osteoarthritis (OA), including its etiology, diagnosis, and treatment options. It discusses how OA is the breakdown of articular cartilage in a joint. Risk factors include mechanical damage from injury or excess weight, genetics, and residual effects from other arthritic conditions. Diagnosis involves assessing symptoms, physical exam findings, and imaging like x-rays. Conservative treatment includes weight loss, physical therapy, bracing, topical NSAIDs, nutraceuticals like glucosamine and chondroitin, and injections. Surgery is not usually recommended when OA is the sole diagnosis.
This document discusses patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). PFPS is characterized by anterior knee pain that is most common in young, active populations. It is typically caused by an imbalance of forces across the patellofemoral joint from issues like increased Q-angle, foot overpronation, and weakness of the vastus medialis obliquus muscle. Symptoms include pain around or behind the kneecap that is aggravated by activities involving knee bending like squatting or going up and down stairs. Treatment focuses on reducing pain/inflammation, addressing contributing biomechanical factors, and strengthening exercises for the quadriceps muscles.
1) The patellofemoral joint is complex with requirements for normal function dependent on the congruent relationship between the patella and trochlear groove. Developmental or acquired alterations to the joint surface geometry are associated with patellar instability, chondromalacia patella, and anterior knee pain.
2) Trochlear dysplasia, patella alta (high riding patella), and excessive lateralization of the tibial tuberosity are the most important factors predisposing to patellar instability. Trochlear dysplasia can be classified into types A through D based on the shape of the trochlear groove.
3) Measurements of the patella, tro
Chondromalacia patellae, also known as runner's knee, is a softening and roughening of the cartilage under the kneecap caused by mechanical overload of the patellofemoral joint. Symptoms include pain in front of or beneath the kneecap that is aggravated by activity like climbing stairs. Examination may reveal tenderness under the kneecap edge or crepitus with knee movement. Conservative treatments include rest, ice, strengthening exercises, and anti-inflammatory medication. Surgery to realign or elevate the patella may be considered if conservative treatments fail after 6 months.
This document summarizes the pathomechanics of patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). It describes the anatomy and biomechanics of the patellofemoral joint. Abnormal tracking of the patella, such as lateral displacement or tilt, can increase stress on the joint and cause pain. Contributing factors include remote factors like weakness of the vastus medialis obliquus muscle, tightness of the lateral retinaculum, and pronated or supinated feet. Addressing these intrinsic and extrinsic factors can help reduce patellofemoral joint loads and pain.
This document discusses patellofemoral disorders, including their anatomy, biomechanics, pathology, and treatment. It describes the anatomy of the patella and trochlea, as well as medial and lateral stabilizers. Biomechanics discussed include joint reaction forces, contact areas and pressures. Pathologies include traumatic injuries, atraumatic causes like chondromalacia and malalignment syndromes. Treatment depends on factors like age, cartilage damage, and underlying causes; it ranges from conservative options to various surgical procedures. The take home message is that patellofemoral disorders require careful evaluation of the whole limb and conservative treatment first before considering surgery.
1. biomechanics of the knee joint basicsSaurab Sharma
This document provides an overview of the biomechanics of the knee complex. It describes the knee as the largest and most complex joint, consisting of the tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joints. The knee functions to flex and extend the leg, support body weight, and facilitate locomotion. Key components include the articular surfaces, menisci, capsule, collateral and cruciate ligaments, muscles, bursae, and plicae. The document outlines the roles and mechanics of each of these structures, as well as common injuries associated with the knee.
This document discusses the biomechanics of the patellofemoral joint. It describes the anatomy of the patella and its articulation with the femur. As the knee flexes and extends, the patella translates and rotates in complex motions to maintain contact within the femoral groove. The patellofemoral joint experiences high stresses from quadriceps forces, especially between 30-90 degrees of flexion when contact area is increasing. Several mechanisms help minimize stresses on the joint.
3. biomechanics of Patellofemoral jointSaurab Sharma
The patellofemoral joint is one of the most incongruent joints in the body. It depends on static structures like the lateral lip of the femoral condyle and the length of the patellar tendon for stability. Forces through the joint increase significantly during activities like squatting or ascending stairs. Pathologies of the patellofemoral joint can include osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, meniscal tears, and patellofemoral pain syndrome resulting from an imbalance of forces through the joint.
The knee joint is the largest and most complex joint in the body. It consists of three joints: the medial and lateral condylar joints between the femur and tibia, and the patellofemoral joint between the femur and patella. Key structures include the cruciate ligaments which provide stability, menisci which absorb shock and distribute force, and synovial membrane which lines the joint space. The document provides detailed descriptions of the articular surfaces, ligaments, bursae, and other anatomical structures that make up the knee joint.
Arthritis is a term used to describe over 100 medical conditions that affect the joints and cause pain and stiffness. The most common types are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis generally affects elderly patients and occurs when cartilage breaks down over time. Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory condition where the immune system attacks the joints. Some forms can affect younger people. The symptoms depend on the type of arthritis but may include pain, stiffness, swelling and fatigue. While there is no cure for most types of arthritis, treatments can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. These include medications, physical therapy, exercise and maintaining a healthy diet and weight.

The most prevalent kind of arthritis is osteoarthritis, also known as a degenerative joint disease (DJD). As people get older, they are more prone to acquire osteoarthritis. Changes in osteoarthritis often develop gradually over several years, with few exceptions. Dr. David Greene Arizona discusses osteoarthritis in this presentation.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that causes chronic inflammation of the joints. It most commonly affects small joints in the hands and feet. While the cause is unknown, it occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the synovium lining of joints. Women are more likely to develop it than men, and it often begins between ages 40-60. Complications can include osteoporosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, heart and lung problems. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation and preventing joint damage through medications, physical therapy, exercise and surgery if needed. Managing stress and lifestyle factors may also help relieve symptoms.

Osteoarthritis is a common form of arthritis where cartilage in joints breaks down over time. It causes pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility in joints like the hands, hips, and knees. While there is no cure, treatments can help manage symptoms and maintain activity. For mild cases, initial treatments include exercise, weight loss, heat/cold therapy, and over-the-counter pain relievers. For moderate to severe cases, stronger medications, cortisone shots, and surgery may be needed to relieve pain and disability. Joint replacement surgery can help severely affected patients resume an active lifestyle.
Effective homeopathic medicines for arthritis which gives a long term cure to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, joints pain, neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain
Homeopathic medicines are very highly effective in management of piles and the symptoms associated with it such as pain, bleeding, itching, etc. The point to be emphasized is that the relief of symptoms is obtained with absolute gentleness and without invasion or surgery of any kind. Besides, the condition has high backslide rate taking after surgical treatment, since surgery does not focus on the main drivers such as hereditary inclinations, periodic clogging, and so forth. Homeopathic drugs work at the root level and can change these hereditary inclinations accordingly decreasing odds of backslide and repeat of the condition essentially. Homeopathy treatment reduces the intra abdominal pressure. There are good medicines that relieve constipation which plays major role in developing piles.

It defines arthritis as inflammation of one or more joints and discusses common types like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and gout. It outlines signs, causes, who is affected, and treatments for these types. The document also discusses analgesics, corticosteroids, opioids and their use in managing arthritis pain and inflammation. Finally, it lists some common nursing diagnoses for arthritis patients and examples of nursing interventions.
Osteoarthritis is a common joint disease that affects older individuals. It involves the breakdown of cartilage in the joints. Symptoms include joint stiffness, swelling, and pain that worsens with use. X-rays can show cartilage loss and bone changes in the joints. Treatment focuses on education, activity modification, weight loss, medications like acetaminophen and NSAIDs, steroid injections, and sometimes surgery for severe cases. Lifestyle changes and less impactful exercises can help manage symptoms.

This document provides a comprehensive overview of osteoarthritis, including its definition, causes, risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, treatment options, self-care strategies, and the role of yoga and complementary therapies. It describes how osteoarthritis results from the breakdown of cartilage in joints, most often affecting the hands, spine, knees and hips. Risk factors include age, genetics, injury and obesity. Treatments include medications, exercise, weight control, and in some cases surgery.
This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.
