Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a joint-related condition, commonly affecting people above years old, and may cause them to experience difficulties whenever they use the affected joint. According to Huether and McCance (2016), weight issues and trauma are some of the common risk factors that increase the chances of suffering from osteoarthritis. Given Maddie’s age, it is understandable that she is suffering from her condition. Poor exercise levels are also risk factors and there are chances that Maddie is a victim of her own lifestyle as a young person.
