The disadvantages of climbing stairs are:

When climbing stairs, the knee joint should bear 3-4 times the weight, which makes the injury worse. Moreover, when climbing stairs, the curvature of knee joint increases, and the pressure between patella and femur increases accordingly, which will aggravate the pain of knee joint. Therefore, elderly people with knee joint diseases should take the stairs as little as possible, especially don't lift heavy objects up and down the stairs, and should take the elevator.

Attention should be paid to climbing stairs for exercise:

Climbing stairs to exercise, we must first combine our own actual situation. Middle-aged and elderly people have different degrees of osteoporosis, and some obese people have greater pressure on the knee joint. So these people must master the relationship between speed and duration. At first, the speed should be slow. If you persist for a period of time, you can gradually speed up or extend the time, but not too violently, otherwise it will increase the burden on the heart and lungs. If you find discomfort when climbing stairs, you should stop exercising immediately. It is particularly important to note that people with old knee injuries should try not to climb stairs. At the same time, we should master the correct exercise methods. When going downstairs, in order to prevent the pressure on the knee joint from increasing, the forefoot touches the ground first, and then the whole foot touches the ground to cushion the pressure on the knee joint. After climbing the stairs, you can massage your knees locally. Usually, it is best to do squats, stand up, static semi-squats and other exercises, so that the knee joint can be fully exercised to prevent stiffness.

Note: when climbing stairs, you don't need to wrap and bind your calf. Normal people or young people will not wear them when climbing stairs, but they can also achieve the effect of strengthening muscles and bones, which is a panacea for losing weight and bodybuilding. However, elderly people with knee joint diseases should take the stairs as little as possible.
