About

Rehabilitative Sanomechanics Method (RSM) of exercise designed to restore normal subperiosteal transmission of in-joint pressures and normalizing contact pressures on cartilages, will reduce pain in the affected joints and improve locomotor function.

Full description

Specific Aim 1: In a clinical trial with subjects reporting arthritic knee pain, demonstrate that the Sanomechanics method of exercise, focused on restoring normal subperiosteal transmission of in-joint pressures, will reduce pain. Using the validated WOMAC questionnaire as a Patient- Reported Outcome (PRO) tool, the associated primary endpoint is that 80% of patients will report a reduction in pain at the end of the 3-month study based on the 5-point categorical WOMAC pain scale.

Specific Aim 2: To demonstrate that Sanomechanics will improve normal synergy in gait by mitigating compensatory gait strategy, which one develops to avoid unbearable pain in the joint. The associated co-primary endpoint is that 80% of patients will experience an increase in stance knee flexion angle. The secondary endpoint is that the 80% of patients will report a lowered WOMAC function score based on 5-point categorical WOMAC scale (lower score corresponds to better self-reported function) after the three-month study.
