Welcome!
The goal of the lab is to better understand risk factors, mechanisms and pathomechanics related to lower extremity musculoskeletal disorders, especially knee osteoarthritis (OA). The ultimate goal of the laboratory is to provide evidence for and to design rehabilitation treatments for knee OA.
