Knee osteoarthritis is common, even among relatively young people. Exercise is an important part of treatment, and fortunately, many people with osteoarthritis remain physically active. A national consortium is currently conducting a cohort study aimed at gaining a better understanding of the physical stress and stress tolerance of people with knee osteoarthritis. The central research question in this project is: What level and type of physical activity is beneficial for the knee joint?
The focus here is on various sports groups, including runners, hikers, cyclists, and tennis players. A unique dataset has been collected, comprising data from questionnaires, physical examinations, MRI scans of the knee, and biomarkers from blood samples.
