Congratulations Stan Drummen on your 1st paper. Walking for knee #osteoarthritis resulted in large improvements in symptoms without detrimental effects on MRI knee structure. @ReseachMenzies CHESM Saliu Balogun Kim Bennell Prof Rana Hinman Michele Callisaya Benny Antony

Excellent work Sam Kayll & team. I love the infographic too.

Just published: Zoledronic acid was not protective against total knee replacement in patients with knee #osteoarthritis over 7 years. Menzies Institute for Medical Research Laura Laslett Catherine Hill anita wluka Benny Antony acrjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar…

Learning about placebo & nocebo effects at the #OARSI2024 Rehab Discussion Group with David Hohenschurz

New RCT data STEP-9 presented at #OARSI2024 Diabetes and weight loss drug semiglutide 2.4mg s.c. weekly yielded ~10% MORE weight reduction and ~14 point MORE WOMAC pain reduction after 1 year vs placebo in obese knee OA patients. Both groups had lifestyle changes. OARSI

The METHODS trial was highlighted during the #OARSI2024 clinical year in review! 🙌 Catherine Hill anita wluka Benny Antony thelancet.com/journals/lance….

Zoledronic acid did not protect against TKR, and might even increase the risk of joint replacement in the first 2 years of treatment. #osteoarthritis Menzies Institute for Medical Research Laura Laslett Catherine Hill anita wluka Benny Antony youtu.be/kCKffMFHaok?si… via YouTube

Prevention is important. Any period of strength training in your past has a modest protective effect from later radiographic #osteoarthritis, knee pain, and symptomatic #osteoarthritis acrjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar…

It is great to see this work published. Well done Dr Natalie Collins (she/her) and team. GLA:D® is feasible, safe, and acceptable to Australian public patients with knee #osteoarthritis. Public hospital patients reported improvements similar to previous GLA:D® cohorts. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38670811/

An outdoor walking program for knee #osteoarthritis improved acute movement-evoked pain flares. Lower baseline physical performance and pain flares during walking may have contributed to lower attendance. Menzies Institute for Medical Research Stan Drummen sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Higher abdominal fat, especially in women, was linked to chronic multisite pain. Thank you Feng Pan for including me in this important work. #ChronicPain #osteoarthritis #obesity Menzies Institute for Medical Research rapm.bmj.com/content/early/…
