We would like to recognize Dr. Lou DeFrate, whose commentary on knee arthritis was recently highlighted by Science Magazine.
According to scientists, there are many unknown factors that are causing more people to suffer from aching knees.
“This is really important work,” says biomechanist Louis DeFrate of the Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, North Carolina, who wasn’t connected to the study. Knee arthritis is one of the leading causes of disability, he says, and the findings may help researchers better understand why more and more people are developing it.
