matters needing attention

Joint disease can lead to limited joint activity and muscle atrophy. Functional exercise can restore and maintain joint function. Pay attention to the timing, type and intensity of functional exercise.

If necessary, the patient should rest in bed until the joint swelling and pain are improved.
