This research investigates whether modifying movement-related sounds can reduce pain and fear in people with knee osteoarthritis. By replacing threatening joint noises with more positive auditory cues, it aims to retrain pain perception, improve rehabilitation outcomes, increase muscle activation, and help patients confidently return to everyday activities.

This research adapts fracture prevention guidelines for older adults receiving home care in Canada. By addressing unique risk factors through nutrition, exercise, and medication management, the study aims to reduce falls and fractures, helping individuals age safely at home and maintain independence for longer.

This research examines depression screening practices among physiotherapists treating back pain. Findings show screening is rare, indirect, and hindered by stigma, time pressure, and system constraints. The work highlights the need for validated tools, training, and policy change to normalise mental health screening and improve patient safety.

Why does exercise reduce pain for some people with knee osteoarthritis but not others? By examining psychological factors, educational messaging, and brain stimulation, the studies aim to enhance exercise-induced hypoalgesia and develop effective, drug-free pain-relief strategies that can transform knee osteoarthritis into a manageable condition rather than a lifelong disability.
