One of the focuses of the Center's R&D activities is to reduce pain and improve function in VA patients suffering from impairments involving the musculoskeletal system. Primary areas of investigation are:

  • developing novel physical interventions for prevention of bone loss due to disuse, and the restoration of normal bone density,

  • halting the progression of osteoarthritis, and reversal of cartilage degeneration, and

  • improving the rehabilitative course and ultimate outcome of orthopaedic techniques such as fracture repair and total joint replacement.
