ESSKA 2000 – DJO 2006 Grant
Partners through Research
| | DJO joins ESSKA (European Society of Sport Traumatology, Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy) in a commitment to never stop getting better. Although significant improvements in sports medicine techniques have been achieved recently, still more improvements are needed.
|
In order to improve patient outcomes after sport injuries, new treatment methods and products based on the latest scientific research and validated by clinical studies must be developed.
In an answer to this urgent need for good clinical research the ESSKA together with the company DJO decided to create a research grant (USD 15.000) for innovative scientific work in the field of Sport Traumatology and Rehabilitation.
This initiative encouraged researchers to set up professional research projects to give more scientific basis to current and future treatment methods.
An international jury of experts (members of the ESSKA board) judged all submissions.
