In Asia, one in six people suffers from arthritis at some stage in their lives, which is the number one disabling disease in the world. At present, it is estimated that there are more than 65438+ billion arthritis patients in Chinese mainland, and the number is still increasing. Fang said that arthritis can be well treated.
The origin of festivals
1998 In April, with the support of WHO, a seminar attended by more than 70 experts in the fields of orthopedics, rheumatology, osteoporosis, traumatology, physiotherapy and rehabilitation was held in Lund University, Sweden. At the meeting, Lars Lidgren proposed that 2000-20 10 should be the decade of bones and joints. 1999165438+10 In October, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan signed the official supporting document. In June 2000, 5438+1October 13- 15, WHO officially launched this activity in Geneva, with 750 medical institutions signing documents and 37 governments supporting the Ten-Year Osteoarthropathy Campaign. The World Health Organization decided to reduce the expected incidence of osteoarthritis by 25% through ten years' efforts. In April, 20001,China set up the fund of arthritis prevention education project of the Ministry of Health, and began to pay attention to this disease from the health administrative department. Every year, 65438+1October 12 is World Osteoarthritis Day, which aims to remind people to pay attention to the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis is a work that needs the common concern of the whole society.
Festival purpose
? World arthritis day? The purpose is to remind people that arthritis should be prevented, diagnosed and treated early to prevent disability.
Classification and symptoms of arthritis
Arthritis is one of the most common chronic diseases, with more than 100 types, among which osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the most common.
osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis can affect all parts of joints, causing muscle pain, inflammation or mobility problems. The disease is common in middle-aged and elderly people, and the incidence rate increases with age. According to statistics, 50% of people over 50 years old suffer from osteoarthritis, and 90% of people over 65 years old suffer from osteoarthritis. In addition to age, overweight, injury and diabetes are also risk factors for the disease.

Rheumatoid arthritis can invade articular membranes, cartilage tissues and bones, and its main symptoms are inflammation, including joint congestion, fever and pain. Different from osteoarthritis, the disease can affect the whole body health, and there are symptoms such as loss of appetite and general discomfort. The probability of women suffering from rheumatoid arthritis is three times that of men, and the onset age is 35-50 years old.
Incidence and goal of arthritis
Arthritis is usually considered as a senile disease. In fact, people of all ages, even children, may suffer from this disease. Relevant data show that the total incidence of arthritis in China is about 13%. Because there is no way for orthodox medicine to completely cure arthritis at present, everyone should pay attention to it, and arthritis should be prevented, diagnosed and treated early to prevent disability.
Matters needing attention in arthritis treatment
Because arthritis is a disease that needs long-term treatment. In addition to drugs to relieve pain, it is more important to the daily rehabilitation of patients' joints. Here are some precautions.
1. Do more physical massage.
Physical massage is helpful to strengthen patients' muscle strength and improve joint range of motion. However, we should pay special attention to the fact that massage is best operated by a specialist, and never blindly go to an informal small clinic for massage treatment. Because massage can't play a direct therapeutic role in the first place, if it is not treated properly, it will aggravate the condition. Old people often suffer from osteoporosis. If the massage is too hard, it will often cause fractures. Especially for the elderly with hyperosteogeny of cervical vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae, it is not easy to massage. Once a fracture is caused by improper massage, it is prone to nerve damage or even paralysis, and the consequences are unimaginable.
2. Pay attention to protect the damaged joints during exercise.
In daily life, don't let the joints keep a posture for a long time, and don't blindly do repeated flexion and extension. You can wear joint protection all year round if you have the conditions. In addition, special attention should be paid to avoid mechanical damage of joints and minimize the load and wear of joints. For example, patients with arthritis in knees and ankles should try to avoid going up and down stairs, squatting, standing, kneeling, climbing mountains and hiking for a long time, especially when the joints are swollen. In order to achieve the purpose of physical exercise, patients can choose swimming, cycling, gymnastics and other sports with light joint load, or they can use handles, crutches, knee pads, walkers, wedge-shaped insoles or other auxiliary facilities to assist joint movement.
3. Wearing shoes is also particular.
Wear the right shoes at ordinary times, thin flat shoes are not the best choice. Because when walking in flat shoes, the weight will fall on the heel too much, and the walking time will be longer. The uploaded impulse may cause pain and discomfort in heel, ankle, knee, hip, waist and other parts, which will have adverse effects on joints for a long time. Therefore, it is best to wear soft shoes with elastic soles, such as casual shoes with wedges, which can reduce the influence of gravity on joints and reduce joint wear.
4. Do more appropriate physical exercise.
Arthritis patients can do more appropriate muscle exercises, coordinate muscle movements, enhance muscle strength, relieve joint symptoms, enhance strength and endurance around joints, increase joint stability, maintain and increase joint range of motion, improve daily activities, and be conducive to the recovery and control of diseases. For example, patients with knee arthritis can exercise more quadriceps femoris. The weakening of quadriceps femoris ability will greatly affect the stability of knee joint. Therefore, strengthening the training of quadriceps femoris is beneficial to arthritis patients.
Prospect of arthritis treatment
The rehabilitation of diseases requires not only proper treatment, but also more attention to daily rehabilitation. In China, the treatment of arthritis is almost the same as these two methods: one is palliative therapy such as analgesia or traction; The second is to perform joint replacement surgery. However, people pay more and more attention to the side effects of chemical drugs and their surgical treatment. Not medicine? Came into being. With the advantages of adopting natural therapy according to the development of human physiology, many countries have established similar institutions to replace medical treatment, forming a new medical trend in the world. Chronic diseases such as arthritis especially need natural therapy.
In recent years, internationally renowned medical institutions, such as Japan Medical University, Independent Medical University, Xinglin University, and the Orthopedic Clinic of Edward Hospital in Urumqi, have studied the effect of sawtooth on cartilage regeneration and caused arthritis. Not medical care? Precedent According to the statistics of Japan Shark Cartilage Popularization Association, the human body can achieve the re-division and growth of chondrocytes within six months to one year by taking 7.5g/ day of pure natural white proud shark mackerel cartilage powder. At present, treating arthritis with Sparus serrata cartilage powder has become a new choice for most patients with arthropathy in Japan, and its advantages of promoting chondrocyte growth and better rehabilitation have also been accepted by the majority of patients.
With the continuous updating and humanization of medical concepts, the daily rehabilitation nursing of arthritis will become more and more popular, and advanced concepts such as alternative medicine will be more and more recognized by people.
