And these changes are silent and soundless, unless the articular cartilage wear or joints completely free of small fragments caused by pain, or the body will not feel strange.

Especially the knee joint, when standing, almost all the weight, walking 4 times the weight of the body, climbing, upstairs, the weight of the weight of 7 times. Weighing 50 kilograms, the knee is under 350 kilograms of pressure while climbing. In medicine, this is called shear force, just like a pair of scissors. The longer the arm length, the greater the shearing force, and the knee joint and hip joint are burdened with heavy shear force when climbing. The cartilage of these two joints, once worn, is not repairable.
