Squeaky Knees is my professional and personal blog, mostly about osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. I'm a practicting rheumatologist, knee OA researcher, and have knee OA myself. This blog is about knee OA research, both my own and others, living with knee OA and the things I've learned along the way, some of my personal passions, and probably some over-shared personal anecdotes and observations.
Highlights on osteoarthritis: what's new in the field and key takeaways from new publications.
Reviews, updates, and observations on research (my own and others) into knee sounds and vibrations.
Exercise is very important for people with knee OA and I wouldn't function without it. Tips, strategies, and reflections on exercising with knee OA.
The human body is capabable of incredible resilience. Real-world strategies I've learned for high-functioning while living with knee OA.
Code, projects, and technical explorations. Please give me feedback.
How I'm using AI. A blog is to write, so I won't use it for that, but will extensively for styling.
Random observations, personal reflections, and other musings.
I think a lot about knee OA. My goal is to record some of my thoughts and observations, share my research process and hopefully get useful feedback on it, and share what I've learned about living with knee OA in the hopes that it might be helpful to others.
I've spent most of my post-medical training career developing a knee acoustics research program. I record and quantify crepitus, trying to inform knee health. My GitHub repo is https://github.com/Spiewart/knee-acoustic-emissions.
