CCCR Speakers Series: Dr. Kharma Foucher; “Physical activity limitations in osteoarthritis: Biomechanical underpinnings?”

April 5, 2023 @ 9:30 am - 10:30 am

“Physical activity limitations in osteoarthritis: Biomechanical underpinnings?”

Summary: Insufficient physical activity is a major problem in people with osteoarthritis. While barriers to physical activity are multifactorial, most research has focused on behavioral factors.  This talk will discuss recent work exploring biomechanical and energetic correlates of physical activity in women with hip or knee osteoarthritis, and the extent to which they may be modifiable.
