[0002] Arthritis is a common disease characterized by joint pain, swelling, and stiffness. Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative or inflammatory disease characterized by knee pain, swelling, and functional impairment, and is common in middle-aged and elderly people. Based on etiology, it can be classified into osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gouty arthritis, etc. Different types require targeted treatment and care. Canes or assistive walking devices with support structures are usually needed to reduce the burden on the joint. During treatment, multiple methods such as medication, physical therapy, and rehabilitation exercises are often used in combination to relieve pain, restore joint function, and slow disease progression. However, with current technology, for patients with mild knee osteoarthritis, using canes or assistive walking devices can only reduce the burden on the joint and cannot effectively correct the knee joint, potentially leading to recurrence or worsening of the condition and affecting the quality of recovery for patients with knee osteoarthritis.
