  • A New Solution for Knee Pain: How the KneeMo Wearable May Improve Mobility

    A New Solution for Knee Pain: How the KneeMo Wearable May Improve Mobility
    Mar 9 2026
    In this episode of the Living to 100 Club Podcast, Dr. Joe Casciani speaks with Drs. Jenny Hledik and Thomas Andriacchi. Our guests are co-creators of KneeMo, an innovative smart knee wearable designed to reduce pain and improve muscle function during movement. Knee osteoarthritis affects millions of adults and often begins silently decades before symptoms appear. As cartilage deteriorates and pain flares, many people reduce activity — accelerating quadriceps weakness and joint instability. The result is a cycle that threatens mobility and independence. Jenny is a biomechanical engineer and former instructor in orthopedic surgery with research experience at Stanford and the VA system. And Thomas is a Stanford Emeritus Professor in mechanical engineering and orthopedic surgery. Together, they explain how KneeMo uses real-time motion sensing and targeted vibration to enhance function of the quadriceps muscle while walking. KneeMo is grounded in gait control theory and supported by clinical research. The device aims to interrupt the pain–weakness cycle and help older adults stay active. We discuss: The early onset and progression of knee osteoarthritis Why quadriceps weakness worsens joint degeneration Clinical findings from crossover clinical trial Improving mobility and staying active Who might benefit from KneeMo For adults seeking to remain active — and for clinicians advising patients — this conversation offers a research-informed look at wearable technology designed to support independence and healthy aging. Frequently Asked Questions about KneeMo What is the KneeMo wearable?KneeMo is a motion-activated knee pain relief wearable designed to reduce knee strain and support walking, standing, and everyday movement. Who might benefit from KneeMo?People experiencing knee discomfort, reduced mobility, or joint strain—especially older adults who want to remain active—may find the device helpful. Does KneeMo replace medical treatment?No. KneeMo is designed as a supportive mobility aid and should not replace medical advice or treatment from a healthcare professional. Can KneeMo help older adults stay active?Maintaining mobility is one of the most important factors in healthy aging. Devices that reduce strain and support movement may help older adults remain physically active longer. Mini Bios Thomas Andriacchi, PhD is President of SomaTX Design Inc. and co-inventor of KneeMo®. Dr. Andriacchi is an Emeritus Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Orthopaedic Surgery at Stanford University. Over his 50+ year career, Dr. Andriacchi has led pioneering research in knee joint biomechanics, translating scientific insights into practical clinical solutions. These include advances in total joint replacement design and footwear innovations for knee osteoarthritis. Jenny Hledik, PhD is Chief Operating Officer of SomaTX Design Inc. and co-inventor of KneeMo®. She holds a doctorate in biomechanical engineering from Stanford University and brings over 20 years of experience in musculoskeletal biomechanics research and clinical trial design. The focus of this research and design is on developing non-invasive interventions to support mobility for people living with knee pain and injury. For Our Listeners Our Guests' Website: TheKneeMo.com

  • How to Age Well: Mental Flexibility, Movement, and a Wellness Model of Aging

    How to Age Well: Mental Flexibility, Movement, and a Wellness Model of Aging
    Jan 22 2026
    In this episode, Dr. Joseph M. Casciani speaks with Angie Dortch, creator of Learning HOW to Age. HOW refers to Honor the Past, Open to the Present, and Welcome to the Future. It is a research-informed, arts-based training program designed to help older adults strengthen mental flexibility, physical awareness, and confidence as they age. Angie explains how HOW blends principles from different perspectives. These include neuroplasticity research, movement and performing arts, and practical, measurable exercises that can be adapted for different abilities and living situations. Angie describes that her program, Learning HOW to Age is "The convergence of science and performing arts, Learning HOW to Age® is the best of both worlds." It represents cutting edge research about the brain and awareness together with engaging and thoughtful skill-developing games from acting, dance, and voice. Together, Joe and Angie explore a crucial shift in aging. It covers moving from a model focused on decline and illness to a wellness model that emphasizes capability, autonomy, and continued growth. They discuss the delicate balance between providing support and reinforcing independence. This spotlights how structured, skill-based practice can help older adults maintain balance, coordination, attention, and self-trust. Angie also shares a formative personal story about her mother’s long-term success managing type 1 diabetes. This was decades before “preventive health” became mainstream. It is an early example of listening to the body. It also involves making proactive choices that shaped Angie’s philosophy of aging well. This conversation is especially relevant for older adults, caregivers, wellness professionals, and program directors looking for practical, engaging approaches to support healthy aging without overprotecting or underestimating people. Mini Bio Angie Dortch is the content producer of Expressive Avenues Wellness on YouTube. She spent two years facilitating a psychosocial wellness practice with independently living older adults. This practice produced a 45% improvement in mental flexibility, physical perception, and kinesthetic awareness—key capacities for aging autonomously. Angie holds an MFA from the University of Louisville and brings decades of experience in education, directing, and media production.

    In this episode of the Living to 100 Club Podcast, host Dr. Joseph M. Casciani speaks with J.J. Caruncho, founder of Sanctavia, an innovative longevity training system designed to help people move, think, and age more powerfully. Drawing from a background that spans dance, martial arts, and healthcare, J.J. explains how a prevention-focused upbringing shaped his approach to aging well. This approach centered on anti-frailty, functional movement, joint protection, and the brain-body connection. Rather than chasing intensity or exhaustion, Sanctavia emphasizes intelligent mechanics, visual cue training, stress resilience, and lifelong adaptability. The conversation explores how older adults can build and maintain strength, balance, and confidence well into later life. Our guest explains why aging powerfully is as much a neurological and psychological process as a physical one.
