  • I am a seventy year old powerlifter, i was diagnosed needing knee replacements three years ago because of loss of cartilage because of osteoarthritis. I was told not to squat or do any load bearing exercises just as you are saying. However, I continued to do squats, leg extensions and also deadlifting and found that far from causing me problems they have enabled me to keep strong and healthy. I actually have less pain when I have done them than before i started, so it works for me.

  • Please understand that padded running shoes only serve to support bad form in running... knees shouldn't receive much impact if you are landing on the ball of your foot as opposed to heel strike running. Barefoot running is key to strengthening the muscles of the leg that help to prevent arthritic pain, if running can be tolerated at all. Of course, I am not a doctor just a soldier with arthritis.

  • @nycsep

    but most elderly patient are almost immobile having knee osteoarthritis pain, and as i am a medical student so i think if such patient swim without the supervision of a swimming instructor it may cause a trauma to him and can cause complete immobility of the knee joint due to tendonous or ligamentous stretch or injury.

    so its better to advise such kind of patient to exercise on bicycle machine or a do the light leg raises type of light exercises.

    thanks for replying...

  • i have just discovered that jogging on thick flat grass works with good sneakers ... there is some bounce as where a hard surface would not work .

  • Clumsy. You should have done multiple takes.

  • Hi Susan!

    how an osteoarthritic patient can swim while he is unable walk on the floor?

    secondally teach us some new exercises other then those conventional techniques which we all know?
