Those with arthritis can gain the most from a moderate mixture of exercise, including non-weight bearing aerobic exercise such as walking, biking and swimming. In fact, a report published online in Arthritis Care & Research showed that patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) can decrease their likelihood of developing functional limitations by walking more. The study showed that those who walked an additional 1,000 steps per day lowered their risk for further joint deterioration from arthritis by 16 percent. Those who walked a total of 5,000 to 7,499 steps daily cut their risk by half.

Exercise and OA go hand and hand...the more you move the healthier your body will be, the better it will be able to maintain itself.

With research ever changing the new field "Mechanobiology" is emerging to help give further insight into the tissues and cells involved in deteriorating joint space with OA
