Journal Article
Sarmanova, A., Hall, M., Fernandes, G., Valdes, A., Walsh, D., Doherty, M., & Zhang, W. (2019). Thresholds of ultrasound synovial abnormalities for knee osteoarthritis: a cross sectional study in the general population. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 27(3), 435-443. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2018.09.018

Objective To establish “normal” ranges for synovial thickness and effusion detected by ultrasound (US) and to determine cut-offs associated with knee pain (KP) and radiographic knee osteoarthritis (RKOA) in the community. Methods 147 women a... Read More about Thresholds of ultrasound synovial abnormalities for knee osteoarthritis: a cross sectional study in the general population.

McWilliams, D. F., Frowd, N., Marshall, L., Stocks, J., Sarmanova, A., Fernandes, G. S., …Walsh, D. A. (2018). Prediction of persistent knee pain by pressure pain detection thresholds: results from the Knee Pain In the Community cohort (KPIC).

Background: Knee pain results from a combination of nociceptive input from the joint, and processing by the central nervous system. Pressure pain detection thresholds (PPTs) are lower and pain is more severe in people with greater central sensitisat...
