New publication of digital gait measures related with pain and function

Our latest publication presents wearable-sensor derived digital measures of gait that are related with worsening pain and those related with worsening physical function in people with knee osteoarthritis. We used ensemble machine learning for this longitudinal study in a large cohort. Published in Arthritis Care and Research. 

New publication on bone length and risk of total knee replacement

In work led by the Kolachalama Lab at BU School of Medicine, we explore how subchondral bone length, a novel MRI-derived measure, can predict the need for total knee replacement due to osteoarthritis. Published in Skeletal Radiology.
