Validity of AI in Treatment of the Musculoskeletal Conditions by Vifive Recruiting
More
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the 12-week ViFive program, a vision-based artificial intelligent digital care plan for chronic knee pain. ViFive digital care plan is delivered by a physical therapy team consisting of physical therapists and a personal coach. We aim to understand the safety and efficacy of this vision artificial intelligent based home exercise program.

Comparative Effectiveness of Particulate Versus Nonparticulate Steroid Injections for Musculoskeletal Conditions Recruiting
More
This aims of this study are: 1. To determine if particulate or non-particulate corticosteroid injections are more effective at treating pain from musculoskeletal pathologies of the hip, glenohumeral joint, biceps tendon, or subacromial/subdeltoid bursa at 2 weeks, 3 months, or 6 months. 2. To determine if there is a significantly different side effect profile between particulate and non-particulate corticosteroids when used for hip, glenohumeral joint, biceps tendon, or subacromial/subdeltoid bursa injections.
