For two decades, Yael Duvdevany suffered terrible knee and joint problems. The retired nurse from Mount Sinai Hospital in New York was diagnosed with osteoarthritis, a chronic disease that causes the cushioning (cartilage) between the bone joints to wear away, leading to pain and stiffness. It can also cause new pieces of bone, called bone spurs, to grow around the joints …
But over the last year, Duvdevany has experienced a physical rebirth and today can go for long walks and even two-hour workouts without feeling knee pain. She credits a unique walking system invented by two Israeli physicians specializing in orthopedic rehabilitation for her new condition.
