Abstract

Objective: To provide a summary of the translational gaps in musculoskeletal research as identified in the Mine the Gap workshop and propose possible solutions. Methods: The Mine the Gap online workshop was hosted on October 14th and 15th, 2020. Five international panels, each comprised of a clinician, clinical researcher and basic scientist, presented gaps and proposed solutions for the themes of biomechanics, pain, biological measurements, phenotypes and imaging. This was followed by an interactive panel discussion with consumer insights. Results: A number of translational gaps and proposed solutions across each of the five themes were identified. A consumer panel provided constructive feedback highlighting the need for improved... (More)

Objective: To provide a summary of the translational gaps in musculoskeletal research as identified in the Mine the Gap workshop and propose possible solutions. Methods: The Mine the Gap online workshop was hosted on October 14th and 15th, 2020. Five international panels, each comprised of a clinician, clinical researcher and basic scientist, presented gaps and proposed solutions for the themes of biomechanics, pain, biological measurements, phenotypes and imaging. This was followed by an interactive panel discussion with consumer insights. Results: A number of translational gaps and proposed solutions across each of the five themes were identified. A consumer panel provided constructive feedback highlighting the need for improved resources, communication and shared decision making, and treatment individualisation. Conclusion: This brief report provides a greater understanding of the diverse work and gaps relevant to fundamental/discovery scientists, clinical researchers and clinicians working across the musculoskeletal field. The numerous translational gaps highlight the need to improve communication and collaboration across the musculoskeletal field.
