This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This is a diagnostic study designed to help doctors better understand knee osteoarthritis — a common condition where cartilage in the knee gradually wears away. Researchers will use advanced MRI imaging combined with gait analysis (watching how you walk and measuring forces in your joint) to get a clearer picture of what's happening inside your knee and how the disease is progressing.
Right now, doctors mainly treat the pain and symptoms of osteoarthritis rather than addressing what's actually causing it. This study exists to improve how we diagnose and predict osteoarthritis progression by combining detailed imaging with functional movement analysis, which could eventually lead to better, more targeted treatments.

As a participant, you would undergo an MRI scan of your knee to capture detailed images of the joint structure, and then participate in gait analysis where sensors measure how forces move through your knee while you walk. The study involves one or more visits to the research center, though the exact number and duration would be explained during enrollment. The tests are non-invasive, though you'll need to be comfortable with MRI scanning.
