Can knee arthritis practice Tai Ji Chuan?
1, can you practice Tai Ji Chuan for knee arthritis?
The stress characteristics of Tai Ji Chuan's lower limbs are concentrated in the knee joint. When a person stands, the knee joint bears twice the weight, but with the gradual squat of the body, the pressure gradually increases. In the range of knee flexion of 60-90 degrees, the pressure of patellofemoral joint is the largest, which can reach 6 times of body weight in an instant. So playing Tai Ji Chuan has the greatest influence on patellofemoral joint.
Knee osteoarthritis can be characterized by simple medial interosseous arthritis, lateral interosseous arthritis and patellofemoral arthritis, and can also be characterized by biventricular arthritis or triventricular arthritis. If combined with patellofemoral arthritis, playing Tai Ji Chuan will increase the pressure of patellofemoral joint, thus aggravating the symptoms of knee joint pain. For this kind of patients, we don't recommend Tai Ji Chuan for fitness. We can take a walk or swim instead.
Knee arthritis is a disease based on degenerative diseases. Most of them are middle-aged and elderly people, and their symptoms are swelling and pain in their knees, pain in going up and down stairs, and pain and discomfort in sitting up and walking. There will also be swelling, bouncing, effusion and other patients. If not treated in time, it will cause joint deformity and disability. Knee joint diseases such as synovitis, ligament injury, meniscus injury, knee joint loose body, popliteal cyst, chondromalacia patellae, goose foot bursitis, genu varus, etc.
