Musculoskeletal Research and Rehabilitation
We are leaders in the discovery, development and delivery of breakthroughs to ease the burden of bone and joint disease. Our research aims to raise awareness of musculoskeletal health and identify modifiable risk factors for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions.
Through our discovery, translational and implementation programs, we are ensuring that the research evidence about new interventions and treatments is put into practice. Our ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life for those suffering with painful and disabling musculoskeletal conditions.
