Chronic arthritis is a condition that affects the joint and its surrounding tissues, including bones, cartilage, ligaments, and muscles, and it becomes more common with age and weight gain. This condition causes pain and stiffness and can lead to disability. It often affects large joints such as the knee and hip, making walking a daily challenge. Therefore, choosing the right footwear becomes one of the treatments.
Shoes are the only point of contact between the body and the ground. Many people with hip and knee arthritis struggle to walk due to pain and stiffness. The latest research by Australian scientists from the University of Melbourne indicates that the type of shoe can significantly affect daily comfort and pain levels.
