Signs and symptoms of Beat Knee |
| Beat Knee (Bursitis) is a condition caused by inflammation of the Bursa.
The Bursa is a sack containing fluid that allows the surfaces in the joints to move smoothly.
There are conditions which result in acute inflammation of the tissues under the skin of the
affected joint. Beat Knee results from constant kneeling and is particularly prevalent among coal
miners. Beat Elbow is also common within the mining community, and can result from
crawling in mining seams, or from holing and boring. |
|
| Symptoms include itchy and dry skin, which may become cracked and sore.
This condition is usually caused by prolonged external friction or pressure at or about the knee,
usually found in workers who kneel too much. |
