Healthy diet: change poor eating times and eating habits, consume more fresh vegetables and fruit, and pay attention to calcium supplements to prevent osteoporosis.
Weight loss: being overweight increases the burden on the joints and a standard body weight should be maintained.
Avoid joint damaging activities: avoid long distance running, climbing, going up and down high rise stairs and prolonged poor posture (prolonged standing, squatting).
Protect the joints: wear knee pads and elastic sleeves, wear the right size of sports shoes and avoid high heels.
In addition to the above, patients in the acute phase can use walking sticks and walkers to assist with movement to reduce the burden on the joints.
