Explanation

"Concrete surface" in a medical context typically refers to a hard, solid ground surface, like a sidewalk or a factory floor, that a person might regularly walk or stand on. Spending a lot of time on such surfaces can put extra stress on the joints, particularly the knees, because these surfaces don't absorb shock well. This can potentially worsen conditions like osteoarthritis, which is a type of joint disease that results from the breakdown of joint cartilage and underlying bone.
