Project Title: Proof-of-Concept Mechanical Footwear Development for Early Knee Osteoarthritis Intervention [RP 6/23 PT]

Project Introduction: The proposed study aims to design a footwear to delay the onset of knee osteoarthritis (OA), based on previous data collected for high-risk/early OA in the general population. In a Singapore Burden of Disease Study completed in 2014, osteoarthritis is the fifth main reason for years of life lost to disability, ill-health or early death. This could reduce societal costs in the long term with possible early intervention. This project theme of the proposed study aligns with the Government’s knee osteoarthritis healthcare initiatives as well as with the focus of ‘Health and Society’, one of the NTU’s peaks of research excellence. This project is in support of NTU's Health & Society vision to address Singapore's ageing population from the perspectives of population health and community wellness.
