🔍 New Study Alert! 🚀 Our latest research reveals that ultrasound assessment of the infrapatellar fat pad can detect Hoffa-synovitis in patients post-ACL reconstruction. A game-changer for early OA detection! #ACLR #UltrasoundImaging

Appreciate @MSUNews including our ultrasound research in the #MSUYearInReview25 highlights! 🙌🟢 This work is one piece of our broader effort to identify which patients are at highest risk of osteoarthritis after knee injury 🦵🩺 so we can help prevent OA 💪 ! 🚶♀️🏃♂️⚽️💚
A study led by kinesiology researchers @MSUCollegeofEd's @AIRLabsMSU, including @Harkey_MS, found that wireless ultrasound devices, which are smaller and more portable compared to standard machines, can provide athletic trainers and other medical professionals with similar information. go.msu.edu/kmk5

🚀 New research from @AIRLabsMSU at #ACSM25!
Can we accurately measure knee flexion during jump landings using a webcam? Turns out— yes @Ajparmar_ can! 📹🦵✅
🧠 Vector analysis + MediaPipe depth estimation
📊 Validated against Theia3D
🙌 Accessible, low-cost kinematics!
Pumped to see our @AIRLabsMSU work on early inflammatory changes following knee surgery take center stage at #ACSM25 today!
🗣️🧠🔥 @goreycrozier will highlight how ultrasound gives us a window into joint health!
🔍🦵—we’re just getting started 💪📊 #OA #sportsmed
So pumped to present our research at #ACSM25 tomorrow!
“Knee Deep in Inflammation: Effusion-Synovitis & Hoffa Synovitis as Early OA Signals Post-ACLR”
Catch us in Room C201 on May 28 at 9:30 AM! Let’s talk knees, inflammation & early OA!
