Osteoarthritis is one of the leading causes of disability in the aging population. Long duration, low intensity therapeutic ultrasound has had promising impact in animal models to slow the progression of the disease and provide joint relief. Two pilot studies were conducted using a novel, wearable platform for delivering ultrasound to evaluate the potential clinical benefits of ultrasound therapy on knee osteoarthritis. There was a pain reduction effect from using ultrasound, as high as fifty two percent in one study. As well, initial data demonstrates that mobility may be increased for patients experiencing mild to moderate arthritis of the knee.
