Can patella softening exercise by bike? Patients with chondromalacia patellae cannot ride bicycles. This is because one of the causes of chondromalacia patellae is that long-term exercise can make the knee joint bend and stretch rapidly, thus increasing the wear of the patella joint, such as riding a bicycle or skating, and this reason is a common cause of chondromalacia patellae. Therefore, patients with chondromalacia patellae must avoid the aggravation of the disease. Therefore, patients with chondromalacia patellae should not ride bicycles, which will aggravate the symptoms, accelerate cartilage aging, and lead to the symptoms of patellar arthritis in advance.
3 Can chondromalacia patellae run? Running is not recommended for patients with chondromalacia patellae. Because after suffering from chondromalacia patellae, there are several kinds of exercises that can't be done. The first movement is the continuous flexion and extension of the knee joint. This is like running and cycling. The second is the exercise that causes continuous pressure on the knee joint and patella joint, such as squat. The third is to let the knee joint bear pressure and friction for a long time, such as mountaineering. Therefore, doing the above three kinds of exercises will aggravate the process of chondromalacia of patella, and then cause certain accelerated wear on knee joint and patella.
4 Can chondromalacia patellae dance? Chondromalacia patellae can dance, but dancing is not recommended, because after suffering from chondromalacia patellae, it is necessary to avoid activities that often cause knee flexion and extension, as well as some exercises that have pressure on knee joint, patella and articular surface of patella. Dancing, whether it is national standard, street dance or disco dancing, will first cause frequent flexion and extension of the knee joint. In addition, when the knee joint is in the semi-squat position, there will be some pressure between the patella and the patella joint. Therefore, patients with chondromalacia patellae are not recommended to dance, because it is difficult to master the degree and amount of exercise in dancing. If the amount of exercise is large or exceeds the acceptable range of chondromalacia patellae, it is easy to induce pain, swelling and dysfunction of chondromalacia patellae, and increase the risk of chondromalacia patellae aggravation.
