Joint Action Shaping movement: How the built environment impacts physical activity in people with osteoarthritis
In this week's episode of Joint Action, we explore how the built environment - where you live, work, and move - impacts your likelihood of staying physically active while living with osteoarthritis. Our guest, Dr. Sarah Gebauer, a family physician and translational epidemiologist, discusses the concept of "walkability" and how access to sidewalks, parks, and public spaces can influence your ability to engage in physical activity. We also dive into the broader social determinants of health, including economic stability, social support networks, and neighborhood characteristics, and how these factors contribute to health disparities.
Join us as we uncover how small changes in your environment can lead to significant improvements in managing osteoarthritis and enhancing overall well-being.
