Patients need to establish a reasonable activity routine, avoiding long and tiring walks, climbing, ascending and descending high stairs and various poor postures (prolonged standing, kneeling, squatting, etc.). Obese people should reduce their body mass as being overweight can increase the burden on the joints and increase wear and tear on the knee. It is also important to protect the joint during exercise by wearing knee pads and braces etc. to avoid knee trauma and excessive strain.
