4/4
Delighted to share our new open‑access article in this month's Physiotherapy journal, on the lived experience of arthrofibrosis after total knee replacement.
Our study offers an in‑depth look at what patients actually go through and what needs to change.

Contributions continued:
• Exercise was central to rehab, with strong patient commitment, yet other potential treatments were rarely discussed.
• Findings highlight the need for person‑centred, holistic approaches that support understanding, agency, and active involvement.

Friday was a great day of networking with other cohort members from our Data Science with Machine Learning and AI course with @Cambridge_PACE. Thanks to the panellists and lecturers who spoke with us, as well as all the enthusiastic course members who attended.
Had a positive day attending the Level Playing Field Midlands Forum, especially sharing my matchday experiences with members of @NFFCDSA & @NFFC.
Also, I learnt I should join @NFFCDSA.
🤝 There were so many great discussions at Meadow Lane, during today's Level Playing Field Midlands Forum!
Thank you to everyone who joined us and our hosts @Official_NCFC.
I also emphasised the importance of patient information.
We found that exercise prescriptions and recommendations from healthcare professionals were the leading factors motivating patients to use exercise as a form of treatment for knee osteoarthritis. 3/3

I discussed our research involving patients with knee osteoarthritis.
The fear of making their painful symptoms worse is a barrier to many individuals participating in exercise. In most cases, this is unwarranted, and exercise can be used as a beneficial form of medicine 2/3

Excited to begin the Data Science with Machine Learning & AI Career Accelerator with @Cambridge_PACE and @fourthrev this week!
Looking forward to exploring how AI and ML can drive innovation in healthcare over the next year.

🎉 Thanks to @UoAEpi for hosting last week's UK-RiME annual showcase! Eight leading UK epidemiology centres came together to advance MSK research and celebrate early-career researchers. Special thanks to @VersusArthritis for making this network possible!
Amazing venue for day two of UKRiME in Aberdeen hosted by @UoAEpi. Looking forward to learning more about the great musculoskeletal epidemiological research in the UK.
@CT4NLive I am waiting at the city hospital for the medilink and 4 buses haven’t turned up. One has just passed but was out of service as she could pick me up so it’s going to be an hour I’ve waited here. Is there an accident somewhere? should I get a taxi?
Our systematic review of non-surgical interventions for arthrofibrosis following knee joint replacement has just been published in @ClinicalRehab.
We found a lack of evidence to support any specific interventions for arthrofibrosis post-arthroplasty.
