Her research program focuses on developing and evaluating physical activity interventions for patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis. Dr. Bendrik has pioneered functional testing approaches including the Maximal Step-Up Test and one-leg testing methodologies that provide more precise assessment of functional limitations in osteoarthritis patients compared to traditional two-leg measures.
Analysis of her publication trends reveals consistent emphasis on randomized controlled trials, with particular attention to long-term follow-up of physical activity interventions and patient adherence. Her work bridges biomechanics, clinical rehabilitation, and patient-centered outcomes, with multiple publications referenced in clinical guidelines.
- 2024 publications represent significant advancements in understanding long-term effects of physical activity prescription
- Research demonstrates that walking is patients' preferred form of physical activity
- Developed innovative functional tests specific to osteoarthritis assessment
