| How to choose a complementary medicine for your osteoarthritis with Dr Joanna Harnett | 01 Sep 2024 | 00:28:50 | |
This week on Joint Action, we explore the potential of natural ingredients in relieving knee osteoarthritis pain. We start with a short introduction to the ATLAS study, a clinical trial by Professor David Hunter and a team of researchers at The University of Sydney. The ATLAS study is testing a groundbreaking supplement combining curcumin, boswellia serrata extract, and more. Can this blend offer pain relief for people with knee osteoarthritis? To learn more or be part of the study, visit: www.osteoarthritisresearch.com.au/atlas-study-overview To help unravel the complexities of supplements and complementary medicines for osteoarthritis, we welcome Dr. Joanna Harnett, a Senior Lecturer at the University of Sydney's School of Pharmacy. Dr. Harnett discusses the most commonly used supplements for osteoarthritis, the evidence supporting their use, and important safety considerations. She also provides practical advice on selecting the right complementary medicine and emphasizes the importance of consulting healthcare providers. Whether you're curious about natural supplements or looking for guidance on managing osteoarthritis, this episode offers valuable insights to help you make informed decisions.

| Is knee injury prevention worth it? with Dr Andrew Ross and Associate Prof Chris Schilling | 18 Aug 2024 | 00:34:35 | |
In this episode of the Joint Action podcast, we explore how injuries to the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) in the knee can lead to osteoarthritis, especially in young people aged 15-25. Did you know that up to 20% of people who develop knee osteoarthritis do so because of a past injury? ACL injuries are a major culprit, and their impact can be life-changing.
We chat with Dr Andrew Ross, a physiotherapist and researcher, and Associate Prof Chris Schilling, a health economist, about how we can prevent these injuries in the first place. They share insights from recent studies showing that national injury prevention programs could save millions in healthcare costs, improve quality of life, and keep more people active in sports for longer.
We also discuss the challenges of getting these programs off the ground and why they’re so crucial - not just for individual athletes but for society as a whole. If you’re interested in how we can better protect our knees and prevent osteoarthritis, this episode is a must-listen!

| Hand osteoarthritis with Margreet Kloppenburg | 18 Oct 2020 | 00:40:23 | |
Hand osteoarthritis is a common musculoskeletal disease and associated with hand pain, stiffness, functional limitation and quality of life. For a long time, hand osteoarthritis was a "forgotten disease", resulting in a paucity of good quality clinical trials to help guide the management. However, in more recent years, hand osteoarthritis has gained more attraction and new data to support treatments has become available. On this episode we discuss:
Professor Margreet Kloppenburg is heading the Osteoarthritis Research Group of the Rheumatology Department of the Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, the Netherlands. She started research in the field of Osteoarthritis in the department of Rheumatology and made it one of its key research areas. The work of her group focusses on the causal role of systemic factors in osteoarthritis and on methodology to evaluate the course of osteoarthritis by MRI and radiographs, with special attention for hand osteoarthritis. Professor Kloppenburg has published over 200 peer-reviewed papers in the national and international literature. RESOURCES Journal articles

He is currently a National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia Fellow. Professor Menz's broad research disciplines are human movement, rehabilitation and rheumatology, with a particular focus on musculoskeletal foot problems in older people. His research extends from laboratory-based biomechanical studies through to analysis of epidemiological datasets and the conduct of clinical trials. Professor Menz has published over 300 papers in podiatry, gerontology, rheumatology and biomechanics journals. Professor Menz's current research focuses on the epidemiology and management of foot disorders in older people, with a particular emphasis on osteoarthritis.
