Very simply, arthritis is the loss of cartilage, which is what cushions a joint. In the knee, it serves as a pad that helps any time we walk or do any sort of physical activity, keeping the knee mobile and running smoothly. Arthritis can make it difficult to get around as the result of less cushioning.

A stroke is sudden damage to part of the brain from a problem with a blood vessel. About 90% of the time, that’s due to a blood clot or blockage, which chokes off oxygen or nutrients to part of the brain, and the other 10% of the time that can be bleeding into an area of the brain. Thrombectomy is a procedure that opens up an artery to break down or pull out a blood clot.
