Sitting for a long time will not only cause great damage to the cervical spine, but also affect the shoulder, wrist, knee, ankle and other joint parts. Experts point out that due to long-term sitting on the desk, using computers and driving, some 'sedentary people' have gradually become vulnerable to arthritis.
In recent years, there are fewer and fewer people engaged in heavy physical labor among patients with arthritis, and they are replaced by sedentary people. The wrists, elbows and shoulders of office workers and computers, and the knee and ankle joints of drivers are the most vulnerable joints. However, driving makes people gradually form "disuse" atrophy and degeneration of joints. Long time holding the steering wheel will also increase the incidence of carpal joint syndrome.
Doctors suggest that patients with osteoarthritis should take proper and proper exercise at ordinary times, such as walking, swimming, cycling and non weight bearing joint flexion and extension activities, so as to avoid doing the same action for a long time or fixing the joints in the same position. Climbing mountains, climbing stairs, squatting and standing up activities will aggravate the disease.
