This journal focuses on osteoarthritis, particularly knee and hip osteoarthritis. Research includes the development of management programs, characterization of patient populations, investigation of multi-joint osteoarthritis, evaluation of exercise interventions, and the impact of sleep quality and central obesity on osteoarthritis. The journal also covers diagnostic accuracy of imaging techniques, the role of the gut microbiome, and molecular alterations in osteoarthritis models, as well as the assessment of physiotherapy-led services and the definition of 'end-stage' osteoarthritis.
