AI-driven Multimodal Knee Osteoarthritis Detection, Progression Prediction and Personalized Rehabilitation Recommendation System

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic, progressive musculoskeletal disorder characterized by structural deterioration of the knee joint, pain, stiffness, reduced range of motion, muscle weakness, impaired physical function, and limitations in activities of daily living. The condition represents a major cause of disabi...

Knee Osteoarthritis Classification Using Gated Axial Attention Mechanism-Based DenseNet121

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a major cause of disability, particularly among older adults, because of the degeneration of articular cartilage in the knee joint. This disorder is characterized by stiffness, reduced mobility, and pain, which makes medical diagnosis challenging, especially given the current limitations in...

What have we learned about osteoarthritis from imaging?

Clinical and research imaging have been instrumental in shifting our understanding of osteoarthritis from a structural, cartilage-focused disorder to a whole-joint complex disease with biomechanical and inflammatory components. Initially, the only osteoarthritis imaging modality was x-ray; therefore, the focal point of...

Deep transfer learning-based approaches with multimodal fusion to improve the prediction of knee osteoarthritis progression: data from the OAI and MOST cohorts

Effective diagnosis and management of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) increasingly rely on integrating diverse data sources, including imaging and clinical information. This study aimed to evaluate the use of multimodal deep learning models assisted by transfer learning (TL) to enhance the prediction of KOA progression. Deep...

A comparative study of machine learning based automatic diagnosis approaches to diagnose knee osteoarthritis from radiographs.

BACKGROUND Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common degenerative joint condition that affects millions of middle-aged and elderly people worldwide, mainly due to the gradual loss of articular cartilage. While diagnosis often depends on X-ray imaging, grading KOA severity with Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) scales is subjective an...
