Aging

Natural wear, wrinkles, gray hair, slow movement, wisdom, experience, fragile body, time.

Cartilage Breakdown 

Knee cartilage wears away, bones rub, pain increases, swelling, stiffness, reduced movement.

Joint Space Narrowing 

Cartilage loss causes bones to approach, reducing knee space, pain, stiffness, difficulty walking 

Ligament Weakening 

Knee ligaments lose strength, stretch, fray, causing instability, pain, swelling, reduced movement. 

Muscle Weakness  

Muscles lose strength and support, causing knee instability, fatigue, pain, and limited movement 

Repetitive Stress 

Repeated movements strain knee tissues, causing irritation, micro-tears, pain, swelling, and fatigue 

Excess body weight increases knee joint pressure, accelerating cartilage wear, causing pain, inflammation, stiffness, reduced mobilit 

obesity 

Inherited genes influence knee structure, cartilage strength, and susceptibility to osteoarthritis, increasing long-term joint degeneration risk 

Genetics

Previous Injury

Past knee injuries leave weakened tissues, scar formation, and instability, increasing stress and accelerating osteoarthritis development.
