Himchan Hospital 'Joint Health Quiz Event'Delivering How to Manage Knee Joints in the Field
Jul 09, 2024
Himchan Hospital will hold a 'Powerful Joint Health Quiz" event to deliver information on how to manage knee joints during the hot and humid rainy season.
As much as in winter, the summer rainy season is a difficult time for patients with degenerative knee arthritis. During the rainy season, low atmospheric pressure increases knee pressure and stimulates tissue nerves, causing severe pain.
In addition, the discharge of water in the body is not smooth in humid environments, so the joint sac may swell. Due to the cold wind of the air conditioner, body temperature drops and muscles around the joints become stiff, reducing friction between bones and hardening joint fluids that act as lubricants, causing pain.
Therefore, during the summer rainy season, it is recommended to adjust the indoor temperature to 25 to 28 degrees so that there is no difference of more than 5 degrees from the outside temperature and to keep the humidity below 50%. At this time, it is better to cover the knee area with a blanket and keep it warm. In addition, doing simple stretching frequently without strain on the joints helps relieve pain.
This event will be held in the form of a quiz to find out the good habits of keeping joint health during the summer rainy season. To participate, follow the official Instagram of Himchan Hospital and leave the correct answer in the comments on the event post. The event period will run for two weeks from July 9 to 23, and a drink voucher will be provided through a lottery among the correct answers.
