Time to Put Another Exercise Excuse to Rest A study by the Arthritis Research Institute of America concluded that a regular exercise program doesn’t worsen the pain and stiffness of foot osteoarthritis. X-rays of study subjects ranging in age from 40 to 91 found very little evidence that those with foot osteoarthritis felt more pain or had more damage in their feet if they were active. The findings were published in the peer-reviewed Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association. ARIA’s study was written by Frances V. Wilder, Ph.D, John P. Barrett, MD and Matthew Rogers, MS. Dr. Wilder is ARIA’s executive director, Dr. Barrett is an orthopedic surgeon and ARIA’s founder as well as the president of its board of directors. Mr. Rogers is a doctoral candidate and ARIA’s director of exercise. Since 1988, the Arthritis Research Institute of America (ARIA) has been studying thousands of participants to learn more about osteoarthritis. The 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit research organization is based in Clearwater, FL, but its findings have been published worldwide. ARIA’s x-ray database is globally acknowledged as one of the most complete sources of information about the progression of osteoarthritis. For information, call (727) 461-4054.
