Wear and tear of joints is the common cause of osteoarthritis, costing $19.25 billion/year. With this cost on the increase, and no cure to date, comes a need to develop effective methods for its diagnosis. This study will provide new knowledge on osteoarthritis progression by allowing strategic use of national health resources. A fuzzy expert system, to be developed utilising the diagnostic/prognostic techniques of this study will significantly reduce cost and time. The project will contribute to the National Strategy by helping older Australians; the major group of osteoarthritis sufferers, to retain their health, independence and productivity.

关节的磨损是骨关节炎的常见原因，每年花费192.5亿美元。随着这种成本的增加，并且迄今为止没有治愈方法，需要开发有效的诊断方法。这项研究将通过战略性利用国家卫生资源提供有关骨关节炎进展的新知识。一个模糊的专家系统，开发利用本研究的诊断/预后技术将显着降低成本和时间。该项目将通过帮助澳大利亚老年人-骨关节炎患者的主要群体-保持健康、独立性和生产力，为国家战略做出贡献。
