Knee and Hip Disorders
Millions of Americans are impacted by chronic hip conditions, such as hip arthritis. As the hip is one of the largest joints in the body, any discomfort or malfunction can make everyday tasks such as putting on shoes or walking very difficult. For some individuals with severe hip conditions, it becomes impossible to continue working.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) defines a disabling knee condition as one that causes a functional loss resulting in the inability to ambulate effectively. This may happen for many reasons, such as loss of range of motion, inability to bear weight on the knee, or amputation of the lower leg.
Injuries to the hips and knees can greatly impact mobility and the ability to perform day-to-day tasks. Ultimately, a serious hip or knee injury can make it impossible to work and difficult to support yourself or your family. Individuals whose injuries are expected to prevent them from working for 12 months or longer can seek Social Security Disability benefits.
