This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), provides $1,197,166 to Rhode Island Hospital to evaluate a neuromuscular mechanism that may explain differences in functional outcomes between two anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery procedures. The overarching objective is to leverage patients enrolled in the BEAR-MOON clinical trial to compare neuromuscular activity patterns and joint motion between the Bridge-Enhanced ACL Restoration (BEAR) procedure, which preserves the ACL neural structures, and standard ACL reconstruction surgery, which severs these structures. The grant supports an ancillary study that will apply machine learning to classify neuromuscular activity, compare knee joint motion during landing, and determine the relationship between neuromuscular patterns and joint motion abnormalities. The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston received a $263,058 sub-award to collaborate on this research.
