These prevalent health issues, which are more common in older adults include: falls, cognitive impairment and delirium, depression, and polypharmacy. The presence of these conditions may influence overall ability to tolerate therapy as well as quality of life and potentially survival.
As already mentioned, arthritis is a condition that causes inflammation and stiffness around the joints. There are several different types, but osteoarthritis is the most common.
In addition to pain, individuals may also experience swelling, tenderness, grating or crackling sounds when moving the affected joints. These symptoms may “come and go”, and often affect small joints in the hands or knees and hips.
The condition develops as, over time, joints are exposed to a constant low level of damage. In most cases, your body repairs the damage itself and you do not experience any symptoms.
