Osteoarthritis Research
Osteoarthritis research at Kessler Foundation explores potential treatments for knee pain and interventions to improve knee mechanics.
Shockwave Therapy for Knee Arthritis
Study examines the effectiveness of a treatment called extracorporeal shockwave therapy on decreasing pain for people with knee osteoarthritis. The shockwave device emits high-frequency sound waves, which interact with different tissues in your body and can provide healing effects.
Using Robotic Exoskeleton to Examine Increased Mobility and Pain Relief in Knee Osteoarthritis
The purpose of this study is to learn how a knee exoskeleton may help to decrease pain and increase mobility for people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The knee exoskeleton uses motors that are controlled by a computer to assist straightening and bending of the knee while walking.
