ABSTRACT

Arthritis is a term often used to mean any disorder that affects the joints. Symptoms generally include joint pain and stiffness. Other symptoms may include redness, warmth, swelling, and a decreased range of motion of the affected joints. A joint is where two or more bones come together, such as the hip or knee. Arthritis is a general term, derived from the Greek words arthro-meaning "joint," and -itis, meaning "inflammation," which literally means joint inflammation. It is a condition that affects joints, the tissues that surround the joints, and other connective tissue. It can cause pain and inflammation, making it difficult to move or stay active. It was on this basis that the paper concluded that arthritis is a disease that affects the joints. Joint disease is the most common form of arthritis, affecting nearly one-third of people over age 65. It is characterised by joint pain and mild inflammation due to deterioration of the articular cartilage that normally cushions joints. Arthritis causes disabilities among adults, including depression and effects on the musculoskeletal system. One of the recommendations was that individuals, specifically adults, should be engaged in regular exercise to keep the body, bones, and joints active and healthy.
