KNEE ACOUSTIC EMISSIONS AS A NONINVASIVE BIOMARKER OF ARTICULAR HEALTH IN PATIENTS WITH JUVENILE IDIOPATHIC ARTHRITIS: A CLINICAL VALIDATION IN AN EXTENDED STUDY POPULATION

Abstract Background Joint acoustic emissions from knees have been evaluated as a convenient, non-invasive digital biomarker of inflammatory knee involvement in a small cohort of children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA).The objective of the present study was to validate this in a larger cohort.Findings A total of 116 subjects (86 JIA and 30
