Many people, especially seniors, suffer from knee pain when climbing stairs. In this article, we will look at the causes and symptoms as well as helpful exercises and aids. Often, in advanced age, joint diseases or arthritis are the cause of knee pain. However, an accident or fall can also be the reason for knee pain when climbing stairs.
It is important that the knee is less stressed and somewhat protected to counteract worsening. However, those affected should not completely avoid movement and activity. In the long run, this can lead to further illnesses.
The increased age: With advancing age, the ability of the cartilage to regenerate itself decreases, causing the cartilage tissue to break down.
With persistent overloading of the knee joints, painful bacterial inflammations, tendonitis, or sometimes even bursitis can occur.
Especially high-performance athletes who move and jump a lot often put too much strain on their knee joints, which can lead to chronic knee pain. Once the knee starts to hurt, the joint load should be stopped.
To stay active, you should choose joint-friendly sports to avoid knee pain and knee osteoarthritis.
Overloading or misloading of the patellar tendon mainly affects athletes (for example, soccer players).
The patellar tendon is heavily stressed and overloaded by the fast and frequent changes of direction. This leads to uncomfortable knee pain due to chronic overloading.

Last Wednesday, the TOPRO Step stair climber was installed in the Aure care home. An aid for climbing stairs. (This is a translation based on an article by Ivar Torset, originally published in Nordvestnytt on March 16, 2017).
COPD, a disease that is little known to the public, is nevertheless one of the most common lung diseases worldwide. But what exactly is COPD, also known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?
Jakob Rønningen had no objections when the stair climber was ready for use in the care home. “The device looks good and is robust. I felt safe,” he said after walking up and down the stairs once.
With the help of the TOPRO Step stair climber, he can now go up and down the stairs on his own. Previously, Peder (8) had to crawl up the stairs and could only go up and down the stairs to his nursery at home with the help of his parents.
In Norway, around 50 people die every year from falling down stairs. In addition, around 30,000 people require medical assistance after a hip fracture or other injury. These were the hard facts faced by students at the NTNU School of Entrepreneurship (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) in 2012 and 2013. Halvor Wold and his fellow students spent a week studying the subject of falling down stairs and were struck by the extent of it.
Curved stairlifts can be quite expensive. This article describes prices, options and cheaper alternatives to curved stairlifts.
