Researchers at The University of Queensland are looking for volunteers with ankle arthritis to participate in a study that will compare two different physiotherapy treatments.
Participation in this study involves attending an assessment of your ankle with a physiotherapist, having an x-ray of your ankle taken (if you have not had one recently), completing a couple of online surveys about how your ankle is feeling, and attending treatment at either The University of Queensland (St. Lucia, QLD) or Clem Jones Centre (Carina, QLD). You can choose the location that is most convenient for you. All assessments and treatment in this study are free and you will be given a $25 gift card to thank you for your participation.
