Common orthopedic injuries at home
Injuries can happen anywhere even at home. Major
injuries don't need to happen only at the
workplace or due to accidents on the road or at
play. Injuries, pain, niggles and discomfort can
occur even at the safest of locations like your
home and occur during the most normal routines
that you do home. Joint injuries are the most
common injuries that can because even by
prolonged immobility or too much movement.
Nowadays ninety percent of the population of the
globe is either at home or confined to the walls
of their workplace due to Corona. The visit to
gyms, gardens, public places, vacation
destinations and sports arena are restricted due
to Corona, so lot of rigorous activities have
been curbed. Even then there is a high chance of
hurting your joints while just sitting around at
home or doing your normal easy routines at
home.  Activities that require a lot of
squatting or bending of the knee at acute angles
are a cause of some minor or major injury to your
knee. The activities that an Indian household
that could cause discomfort and injury to your
knee are listed below
3

• sweeping and mopping the floor
• long hours of laptop work on the couch or sofa
• climbing ladders for cleaning of higher places
• washing clothes in a squat position
• praying on the knees or with crisscrossed legs
• blunt trauma due to impact with furniture
• getting up from low sitting positions
• sudden motion while playing with children
• kitchen work involving standing for long

Any of the above activities could cause minor to
major pain in the knees which may be due to
overuse of the knee joint and also acute abnormal
angles they are subjected to while doing these
activities.  Similarly, a lot of injuries to
your ankles, wrist and shoulders could also be
caused by the daily normal routines at home.
Injuries that could mar your ankles could be
4

• twisting while walking on the uneven terrain of
  your home garden
• slipping and spraining while watering plants
• slipping or unbalancing in the bath
• sprain while climbing or descending stairs or
  ladders
• twisting while mopping or sweeping
• accidents while playing with children

These may need only normal home remedies to
subside but can also get serious if the gravity
of the injury is more and the pain is aggravating
or persisting for a longer time.
Shoulder or wrist injuries may be caused more by
lifting heavy weights and due to pulling or
pushing of stationary objects. The shoulder could
also be injured due to lack of movement. Some
discomfort causing episodes to your shoulder and
wrist may be

• long usage of mobile
• continuous use of laptops
• lifting buckets of water
• moving furniture
• fall due to slippery floor
• handwashing a lot of laundries
• lack of exercise to shoulders

These actions could cause twists, sprain or
fracture in your wrist or shoulder. Immobility
can be a very big factor in causing frozen
shoulders as at home you can go into a very
sedentary lifestyle.
