Podcast: Breaking Down Barriers to Evidence-Based Osteoarthritis Care with Laura Churchill
10 April 2023 - RESTORE Team Podcast | Rehabilitation research optimizing older adult movement and quality-of-life
In today's podcast, we sat down with Dr. Laura Churchill to discuss her research related to breaking down barriers for osteoarthritis care. Articles discussed include:
- The development and validation of a multivariable model to predict whether patients referred for total knee replacement are suitable surgical candidates at the time of initial consultation
- A qualitative dominant mixed methods exploration of novel educational material for patients considering total knee arthroplasty
- Primary care physicians’ perceptions of the utility of novel education materials for patients with knee osteoarthritis
