RE: Steemit Learning Challenge-S21W2; Knee Osteoarthritis"

in Steem-Agro8 days ago (edited)

Thank you for understanding the lesson and sharing your assignment; I hope that you will enjoy this week's lesson and try to implement it in your life if you see any such case.

Observations

Task 1 (2.9/3)
You have shared a good knowledge about knee osteoarthritis types on a different basis, especially based on severity. You shared about types in detail. But there are 4 grades of knee Osteoarthritis, not 3. I appreciate your effort.

Task 2 (2.7/3)
In the second question, you tell us about the physical examination, history taking, investigations performed and diagnosis. But you can add 1 or 2 ROM or ADL tests to confirm the diagnosis. X-ray and MRI are the best tests of choice to confirm the diagnosis. Good.

Task 3 (3.8/4)
You try the heel slides, calf & hamstring stretch, William Flexion ( knee to chest exercise), and Knee Isometric ( Knee flexion ). But while performing the stretching exercises, try to keep your leg straight. Don't bend towards your chest or upper body. Remember to always apply a heating pad before performing these exercises. I appreciate your efforts.

Overall you made a good attempt to answer all the questions. I appreciate your efforts. But next time try to avoid the above written suggestions. Keep learning and try to implement your knowledge to the people suffering from knee Osteoarthritis. If you feel fatigued after performing the first exercise, that means, you aren't actively using your muscles, especially not doing any workout or walking. Try to adapt anything to keep your muscles active and use them in daily activities more than usual so that you don't feel tired by doing such workouts. Thank you.
