Osteoarthritis (OA) is degeneration of articular cartilage and can cause pain and reduced quality of life. Two of the most common areas to develop OA are the knees and hips. There is expected to be ~700% increase in knee joint replacements by the year 2030. In the United States alone, it affects over 27 million people. Some of the common risk factors include things such as previous injury, overuse, muscular weakness, obesity, ageing, and genetics. Currently, there is no cure for OA, so prevention is crucial.
