| OARSI Rehabilitation Discussion Group Inaugural Paper of the Year Award for Early Career Investigators | ||||
|
The OARSI Rehabilitation Discussion Group awarded its inaugural Paper of the Year Award for Early Career Investigators to Dr. Rachel Nelligan for her paper entitled "Effects of a Self-directed Web-Based Strengthening Exercise and Physical Activity Program Supported by Automated Text Messages for People With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Clinical Trial", which was completed during her PhD training at the University of Melbourne. She is currently a postdoctoral research fellow in the Centre for Health Exercise and Sports Medicine at the University of Melbourne. Her co-authors include Prof. Rana Hinman, Dr. Jessica Kasza, Samuel Crofts and Prof. Kim Bennell. This randomised controlled trial evaluated a novel method of delivering and supporting evidence-based exercise to people with knee osteoarthritis, requiring no health professional input. Her paper was selected among other papers by early career investigators because of its high rankings in three categories. First, it addressed a critical gap by evaluating a novel scalable self-directed digitally-delivered exercise program supported by exercise behaviour change text message support. Second, it reported findings that have the potential to significantly impact clinical practice, patient outcomes, and/or healthcare delivery. For example, its website (mykneeexercise.org.au [mykneeexercise.org.au]) is now freely-available and has >12,000 users from 20 countries across five continents. Finally, it used methods of outstanding quality. Congratulations Dr. Nelligan! |
