The Collaborative Specialization in Musculoskeletal Health Research is a unique program in Canada and is an add-on to the already
Canadian institutions train excellent basic researchers, engineers and clinician-scientists, but critical manpower shortages remain in all areas of musculoskeletal-health research. Traditional science graduate education tends to create hyper-specialized and isolated investigators due to its focus on the training of individuals who use a limited set of techniques. Chronic disorders such as musculoskeletal diseases develop over many years, involve many interconnected biological and biomechanical pathways, and manifest in clinical problems that are modulated by a variety of psychosocial factors, significantly impacting the everyday life of the individual. To combat such disorders, an integrated training approach is required – one that combines technology, mechanistic research
CMHR aims to develop researchers with the scientific and leadership skills necessary to build transdisciplinary teams focusing on integrated approaches for the management of musculoskeletal (bone and joint) diseases. Our
Program Objectives:
Golf-grip study may reduce pain, improve play for those with arthritis
New wearable tech from Western may hold big benefits for people with Parkinson’s
Musculoskeletal disorders are the most common cause of severe long-term pain and physical disability, affecting hundreds of millions of people around the world with an economic burden of more than $17 billion annually in Canada alone. At some point everyone in our population will be affected. Join this unique program and make a difference.
