Thank you everyone for sharing the #ArthrofibrosisAwareness and making the Arthrofibrosis Awareness Day a huge success! Here are some highlights:
There was a lot of interest across our social media platforms with people posting about their experiences and our IAA Ambassadors leaping into action, spreading the word - thank you all! Slides prepared by the immunologist Catherine Nicholas were posted on social media to increase AF awareness.
IAA website visits went up by over 80% over an extended time.
The first international Expert Panel Discussion for physiotherapists was published on our YouTube channel and covered essential information. I'm confident that it will become a widely shared tool that helps physiotherapists and patients globally. Thank you panelists! The Expert Panel Discussion for surgeons is coming up too, so stay tuned for that.
There were more donations (thank you donors!) to share the "Urgent Call to Action for Comprehensive Arthrofibrosis Education for Clinicians" petition on Change.org, resulting in around 150 more signatures. We're closing in on the 1500 target!
People shared their stories about arthrofibrosis for our new "Patent Stories" page. These experiences will educate clinicians and patients and help support people in need.
And we commissioned a short animated video to spread the word. It's available on our YouTube channel - please do share.
The Arthrofibrosis Awareness Day has resulted in many more people knowing what arthrofibrosis is and understanding the pathology. Together we can make a real difference and help people everywhere!
