What does the term "arthrosis" refer to?

Joint inflammation
Joint movement
Diseased joint
Movement restriction in joints

The correct answer is: Diseased joint

The term "arthrosis" specifically refers to a diseased joint, particularly in the context of conditions that affect the quality and function of the joints, such as osteoarthritis. It encompasses the changes that occur in the joint's cartilage, structure, and surrounding tissues that lead to pain, stiffness, and often visible changes in the joint itself. Understanding "arthrosis" in this context is crucial for recognizing various joint conditions and diagnosing related problems, as it impacts treatment strategies and physical therapy approaches. This term is distinct from those relating to inflammation, movement, or restriction, which are associated with different medical conditions such as arthritis (joint inflammation) or joint dysfunction without necessarily indicating a disease state.
