We’re excited to share a key update on our project’s progress! The PROTO WP4 team has successfully evaluated and enrolled the first patient after confirming pathological gait mechanics. This marks a significant step forward in advancing care for patients at risk of knee osteoarthritis. In our first year, we developed a machine-learning approach to identify…

Our study “Personalized digital training intervention to reduce inflammation by correcting pathological movement patterns in pre-stage knee osteoarthritis (OA)” has been officially registered and is now available on the public webpage of the German Clinical Trials Register at https://www.drks.de/DRKS00034958.

At the ATiO Conference 2024, Prof. Tobias Winkler showcased the innovative PROTO Project,  aiming to transform the treatment of early-stage osteoarthritis with advanced anti inflammatory therapies and personalized interventions.   The ATiO Conference is a unique and exclusive gathering of key opinion leaders from all  fields and professions in the realm of advanced therapies in…

Felix Eckstein and Wolfgang Wirth from PMU wrote a summary of 30 years of quantitative cartilage and bone imaging research, for the special issue of Osteoarthritis and Cartilage journal to celebrate its 30 year anniversary.

PROTO researchers Matej Skrobot, Georg Duda and Nicholas Brisson will be presenting their novel machine learning-based classification of pathological gait in persons with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) at the OARSI 2024 congress.

PROTO partners met in Salzburg on 27th February 2024 for the First Annual meeting to share the advancements achieved in the first year and discuss on the challenges ahead. The event gathered all partners,  leaders in various fields such as orthopaedics, omics, cellular immunology, molecular biomarkers, physiology, biomechanics, and stem cell biology, other than the project management…

New Open Access publications by PROTO Partners go to publications

The workshop was subtitled “The many roles of imaging for a multifaceted disease” and was chaired by Patrick Omoumi, MD, PhD, Head of Musculoskeletal Imaging, Lausanne University Hospital as well as by Julien Favre, PhD, Head of Swiss Biomotion Lab, Lausanne University Hospital. A pre-congress workshop dealt with the topic of biomechanical assessment and included…

Given the methodological challenges in determining risk factors of structural progression in established osteoarthritis (collider bias), and the need for early prevention, studies on the age-related change in cartilage thickness and properties in “healthy” joints, exposed to various risk factors, are of great interest. Scientists at the Institute of Anatomy and Cell Biology at Paracelsus…
