Abstract

Members of the Athletic Trainers' Osteoarthritis Consortium participated in a harvest activity at the 2019 Annual Meeting as an initial step to identify common data elements that researchers should consider when studying osteoarthritis and posttraumatic osteoarthritis. The consortium decided on 6 primary categories (Physical Activity, Patient-Reported Outcomes, Biomechanics, Neural Function, Imaging, and Biomarkers) in which attending members were able to vote on which variables were considered most important when studying or treating patients with osteoarthritis and posttraumatic osteoarthritis. Workgroups were then comprised of experts within the Athletic Trainers' Osteoarthritis Consortium to explore these variables and the suitability for research implantation. The following information on Biomechanics and Neural Function is presented to provide recommendations for researchers to adopt when developing patient-centered research for osteoarthritis and posttraumatic osteoarthritis to homogenize the literature for better patient outcomes.
