This 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 $393,883 to Wake Forest University to conduct research on predicting the incidence of knee osteoarthritis (OA) in at-risk female populations. The study aims to determine if baseline measures of maximal knee extensor muscle power, sit-to-stand task performance, and countermovement jump performance can predict the development of structural knee OA over a 48-month period. The research will leverage data and resources from the parent Osteoarthritis Prevention Study (TOPS) clinical trial. Outcomes could help clinicians identify high-risk patients using simple muscle power assessments that can be performed in clinical settings, potentially leading to improved prevention strategies for this disabling condition. The award began on May 14, 2025 and is scheduled for completion by April 30, 2029.
