Senior gymnastics – Improve your gait safety [Guide]

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.
