Foot osteoarthritis with Hylton Menz

Foot osteoarthritis affects one in six adults over the age of 50. It is associated with restricted mobility, disability, poor balance, risk of falling and accounts for a substantial number of healthcare consultations. Due to this, there is an increasing interest in research into foot osteoarthritis and we are learning more about foot osteoarthritis and it's prevalence, risk factors and treatments for this condition. Listen to this episode of Joint Action to learn more about foot osteoarthritis with Professor Hylton Menz.

On this episode we discuss:

He is currently a National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia Fellow. Professor Menz's broad research disciplines are human movement, rehabilitation and rheumatology, with a particular focus on musculoskeletal foot problems in older people.
