SUMMARY:Tools for Your Toolkit: Biomechanical Treatment for Knee Osteoarthr
 itis (Hosted by EFCIE)
DESCRIPTION:Tools for Your Toolkit: Biomechanical Treatment for Knee Osteoa
 rthritis\, featuring Dr. Gillian Hatfield (UFV) and Jesse Charlton (UBC)\n
 Hosted by the Esposito Family Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship\n
 In this talk\, Dr. Gillian Hatfield and Jesse Charlton will discuss the bi
 omechanical risk factors for knee osteoarthritis progression\, and what cu
 rrent non-invasive and non-pharmacological treatment options are available
  for individuals with knee osteoarthritis. These conservative\, biomechani
 cal treatments include shoe orthotics and gait modification. The link betw
 een muscle activity and knee loading will be discussed\, as will future re
 search directions in this area.\nRegister today!\n\n\nDr. Gillian Hatfield
 \, Assistant Professor\, School of Kinesiology\, UFV\nGillian Hatfield gra
 duated with a PhD in Biomedical Engineering in 2013. She also holds a phys
 iotherapy degree. Her research interests lie in biomechanics and muscle ac
 tivation patterns in clinical populations\, such as people with knee osteo
 arthritis or low back pain. She is particularly interested in the effect o
 f exercise interventions on biomechanical risk factors for progression. Dr
 . Hatfield teaches Introduction to Biomechanics\, Applied Biomechanics\, a
 nd Introduction to Athletic Injuries in the School of Kinesiology at UFV. 
 She is also an EFCIE faculty associate.\n\n\n\nJesse M. Charlton MSc\, PhD
 (c)\, UBC\nJesse is currently a PhD candidate in the Rehabilitation Scienc
 es program at the University of British Columbia. His research focuses on 
 applying new technologies\, like wearable sensors (the ones in your smart 
 phones)\, to measure human motion in the laboratory and during daily at-ho
 me activity. His goal is to use these\, and other biomechanical tools\, to
  identify risk factors\, and develop ways of monitoring and delivering int
 erventions for improving the lives of people with musculoskeletal disease.
