1I01RD000364-01A1
Development and implementation of a Smart Nerve Stimulator for assessing neuromechanical function in Veterans, focusing on knee osteoarthritis and machine learning biomarkers, funded by the VA and associated with the Philadelphia VA Medical Center.
Description
The project aims to develop, validate, and implement a novel nerve conduction system called the Smart Nerve Stimulator. It involves research on knee osteoarthritis in Veterans, focusing on arthrogenic muscle inhibition, and utilizes machine learning to develop a biomarker of knee health. The project has strong paths toward commercialization and implementation into VA research.
