What is Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease where protective cartilage gradually breaks down, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It primarily affects weight-bearing joints like knees and hips. Though initially manageable, it can progress to severe joint damage affecting daily activities. UC-MSC regenerative therapy may offer supportive treatment options.
Why It Develops
Cartilage Breakdown
Joint cushioning wears down faster than repair.
Joint Inflammation
Tissue around joints becomes inflamed causing pain.
Bone Changes
Bones under cartilage become harder and change.
Mechanical Wear
Years of joint use cause gradual damage.
Why It Matters in Malaysia
Growing Problem
20% of Malaysian adults aged 45+ suffer from osteoarthritis.
Regional Leader
60% of knee OA cases in Southeast Asia from Malaysia.
Rising Admissions
15-20% increase in hospital admissions for OA from 2019-2022.
Recognizing the Signs
Joint pain after activity or movement
Morning stiffness lasting 30+ minutes
Joint tenderness when pressed
Grinding or cracking sounds in joints
Reduced range of motion and flexibility
