Current projects

We are conducting a research project on how fear of movement, physical activity, and pain are related in people with knee osteoarthritis.

We are conducting a research study investigating knee angles and forces that act on the knee during balance tasks and walking of those with and without generalized joint hypermobility (very flexible joints).

We are conducting a research study exploring how hip, knee and ankle joints work together while bicycling in people with and without knee pain from osteoarthritis.

Completed projects

Optimizing bicycle setup is important for individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The first step includes determining the bicycle saddle position that minimizes forces acting on the knee. This investigation will be done on a sample of health adults.

Knowledge of patient-specific material properties of the articular cartilage at the knee joint is required for accurate model predictions of cartilage response to external loads in healthy, aging, and diseased states.

Fifty-three individuals with clinical and radiographic knee osteoarthritis were followed for an average of 2.5 years.
