• “Locomotive syndrome” is the generic term for disability-free life expectancy and locomotiveorgan health in advanced people, in other words, becoming bedridden or demented and thus requiringnursing care.The main cause of locomotive syndrome has two reasons ; one is spontaneous disability relatedto aging and the other one is locomotive organ disease, such as joint disorders, spinal disorders, osteoporosisor rheumatoid arthritis.We describe the hip joint and the knee joint in this paper because these two joints are criticaljoints to stand and walk.Hip jointThe hip joint is the biggest joint for human, and the most important part in supporting thebody weight and walking smoothly.The hip join is the type of spheroidal or ball and socket joint where the femoral head and theacetabulum covered the cartilage tissue. The hip joint is supported by the ligaments, the tendonsand muscles. Hip osteoarthritis is caused by deterioration of articular cartilage.Medications are one of the treatment with hip osteoarthritis for the mild cases.Total hip replacement is a surgical procedure which is the new acetabular and femoral componentsimplanted for the severe cases.Knee jointThe knee joint is between the femur and the tibia or between the femur and the patella. Theknee joint is a hinge joint having flexion and extension motion.The ligaments surrounding the knee joint offer stability. The muscles are also supporting thebody weight and walking smoothly.The knee pain frequently arises due to osteoarthritis. The causes of osteoarthritis are excessivemotion and combination such as muscle weakness and overweight.Knee osteoarthritis treatments are aimed at decreasing pain, preserving or improving jointfunction, and limiting joint deformity and disability. Effective osteoarthritis treatments includemedications, injections and joint surgeryIt is important that we aware of diseases of the locomotive organs, people require knowledgeabout how to keep those organs in good health.
