University of British Columbia and Arthritis Research Canada are currently recruiting participants for a virtual study called SOAR (Stop OsteoARthritis).

The goal of SOAR is to help people that have had a past activity-related knee injury improve their knee health and reduce their risk for osteoarthritis.

The program is entirely virtual and online and there is no cost to participate in the study.

Experienced a sport injury? Wondering if you're at risk for developing ? Arthritis Research Canada's scientists found evidence that various types of injuries increase the odds of after knee trauma. Learn more: http://ow.ly/6y7X50IFHJk Osteoarthritis Research Society International

Detecting osteoarthritis early could help manage it before symptoms even develop. That's why a team of researchers from University of Calgary whose project was funded by the generosity of Arthritis Society donors worked to identify a molecule that could play a role in cartilage damage leading to osteoarthritis. This could help doctors detect or treat it before the damage is done. How great would that be! https://bit.ly/3sSnUBb
