DJO Award
DJO has a long history of dedication to research & development, and joins ESSKA in a commitment to never stop getting better. Although significant progresses in sports medicine techniques have been achieved recently, still more improvements are needed.
In order to improve patient outcomes after sport injuries, new treatment methods and products based on the latest scientific research and validated by clinical studies must be developed. In an answer to this urgent need for good clinical research the ESSKA together with the company DJO decided to create this highly renowned research grant (USD 15.000) for innovative scientific work in the field of Sport Traumatology and Rehabilitation.
This initiative is destined to encourage researchers to set up professional research projects to give more scientific basis to current and future treatment methods. A booklet with detailed guidelines and the application form can be downloaded on www.esska.org or contact directly the ESSKA Executive Office in Luxembourg.
