Great chat with Sydney Liles, PhD student with @dankwhitept Surprisingly 1 in 4 people with knee #OA don’t believe in exercise yet still enrolled in an exercise trial! How will this affect outcomes? Stay tuned… #ACR2023

Aileen Ledingham, PT, MS, PhD, identifies first & foremost as a physical therapist, which is why she always lists her PT title first in the string of credentials following her name. Now, she has another title to add—ARP President → acr.tw/3syFhL3 @LedinghamPT #ARPrheum
