We are excited to announce the publication of our latest review article in the Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology :  "Elderly Hip Osteoarthritis: A Review of Short-Term Pain Relief Through Non-Weight-Bearing Therapies" by Olivia Norato, Sarah Velez, Arbonor Lleshi, Gordon Lam, Marlon Morales, Glory Udechi, Edwin Cung, and Jean-Philippe Berteau 📅 Published: April 8, 2025 🔗 Read the full article here 🔍 What’s the Study About? Hip osteoarthritis (OA) can be especially debilitating for older adults, interfering with everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, and even standing up from a chair. Our review explores the benefits of non-weight-bearing (NWB) interventions , such as manual therapy (MT) and aquatic therapy (AT) , as strategies for short-term pain relief in this population. By focusing on older adults (60+ years) , including individuals with higher BMI who face increased joint loading, we examined how reducing gravitational stress on the ...

We are excited to announce the publication of an important contribution to the field of physiotherapy, authored by Dr. Jean-Philippe Berteau: a * Systematic Narrative Review * exploring the latest modalities for managing pain in hip and knee osteoarthritis. This comprehensive review sheds light on the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions aimed at alleviating the burden of one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions worldwide. Berteau, Jean-Philippe Paul PhDa,b,c,*. Systematic narrative review of modalities in physiotherapy for managing pain in hip and knee osteoarthritis: A review. Medicine 103(39):p e38225, September 27, 2024. | DOI: 10.1097/MD.0000000000038225  Overview of the Study Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip and knee is a common and often debilitating condition, affecting millions of people globally. As the prevalence of OA rises with aging populations, so does the need for effective, evidence-based treatments to manage its symptoms, particularly chronic pai...

🔬 Exciting Update from our Lab !  Our latest research, published in Laboratory Animal Research, delved into the impact of simulated microgravity on juvenile mice's skeletal systems and assessed the effectiveness of a bone-loading intervention. Results revealed notable bone alterations under simulated microgravity despite intervention attempts. Additionally, our study introduced innovative Raman Spectroscopy data, enhancing our understanding of bone mechanics. These findings advance our knowledge of bone adaptation in unique environments and underscore the importance of continued research in this field.
