Meet Connie

Before her partial knee replacement, Connie worried about her knee buckling-even simple tasks like getting groceries or planning a trip caused anxiety.

Participating in Dr. Wilson's robotics research study gave her comfort and confidence, knowing her surgery would be customized and precise. Just weeks after surgery, Connie is walking, gardening, and socializing again-without a cane, brace, or pain. "Being more active means independence," she says. "This research helped me get my life back."

Researchers like Drs. Wilson and Laudanski are using wearable devices like smartwatches and advanced sensors to track muscle movement and detect signs of instability, tension, or overcompensation. This data helps personalize treatment, inform clinical decisions, and improve recovery outcomes for patients.

Your gift helps patients like Connie get back to the life she loves after stroke, surgery, or arthritis.
