Osteoarthritis Knee Screening Program is a medical package designed to detect early signs of knee osteoarthritis through careful assessment and testing. Osteoarthritis is a condition where the protective cartilage within the knee joint gradually wears down, causing stiffness, pain, swelling, and reduced movement. Without early care, the condition may progress over time and lead to significant discomfort that interferes with daily activities. This program provides a structured way to evaluate knee health and identify any changes before they become more advanced. Early detection allows the doctor at our affiliated hospital to recommend suitable care such as lifestyle adjustments, exercise planning, medication, or physiotherapy. The goal is to slow the progression of the disease and maintain knee function for as long as possible.

The benefits of this program include relief from uncertainty, access to professional medical advice, and the opportunity to begin treatment at the right stage. With early management, pain can be reduced, mobility preserved, and future joint damage minimized. Many patients also gain confidence in making healthier lifestyle decisions, such as weight control or low-impact exercise, that support long-term knee health. Osteoarthritis Knee Screening Program therefore plays a key role in preventing worsening symptoms and protecting overall quality of life.

Osteoarthritis Knee Screening Program begins with consultation by the doctor at our affiliated hospital. During this stage, medical history, risk factors, and current symptoms are discussed in detail to create an overall picture of joint health. The consultation usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the depth of discussion.

After the consultation, a physical examination is carried out to check for tenderness, stiffness, swelling, and range of motion in the knee joint. Imaging such as X-rays may then be performed, which can take 30 to 60 minutes. The results are generally available within 30 minutes after scanning.

The complete program can be finished within half a day including results analysis and further recommendations. The benefits of this structured process include early detection of knee osteoarthritis, accurate diagnosis, and timely guidance for treatment or lifestyle adjustments. Since the program is non-invasive, there is no downtime, and normal daily activities can be resumed immediately after the assessments. This makes it convenient while still providing long-term value by helping to protect knee function and improve overall quality of life.
