Holsworth Research Initiative Seminar Series

Seminar One:  Exercising Biomechanics to improve Care for Knee Osteoarthritis

Presented by: A/Prof Monica Maly

We are delighted to announce that the first seminar of the Holsworth Research Initiative Seminar Series will feature A/Prof Monica Maly, PT PhD, Associate Professor and Director of the Mobilize Clinical Biomechanics Laboratory in the Department of Kinesiology and Health Sciences at the University of Waterloo.

A/Prof Maly will present an overview of osteoarthritis (OA), the biomechanical contributors to worsening disease and the current clinical guidelines for treating OA.

Monica’s research goals are to promote physical activity among adults with OA and provide strong training experiences for academic and professional students.  She uses biomechanical methods and imaging to evaluate the impact of physical activities on joint health, mobility and productivity.
