Editorial standards

Most Insights articles follow how one person came back from an injury or a health condition, usually a well-known athlete. The rest are guides to common problems: lower back pain, knee pain, desk work, and recovering from a marathon.

The articles are written for general education. They are not medical advice, and they are no substitute for a clinician who can examine you. Our legal disclaimer sets out the terms.

Stories about athletes are written from the public record: news coverage, interviews they gave, accounts they published themselves, and medical sources on the injury. The athletes are not affiliated with KneeEd.

The guides are built on published research, such as systematic reviews, trials and cohort studies in medical and sports science journals.

Every article ends with its references, and every reference carries a link to the source, so a reader can go and check it. An automated test in our build fails if a reference is added without one.

AI tools are part of how these articles are researched and written. They search for coverage and research on a subject and produce drafts.

A draft is not a source. What a claim rests on is the reference under it, and a figure that cannot be traced to a source gets removed rather than kept.

Most of the athlete stories were fact-checked and reviewed by a person after drafting and before they were published. That check caught errors the drafts had made, including which knee was injured, the date of an injury, and one story that had confused an athlete with her sister.

In September 2026 four guides and two stories went through a second check, against the research they cited. Claims the research did not support were corrected or removed, figures that could not be traced to a source were taken out, and the references were checked against the papers they name. The rest of the library has not been through that second check.

Articles carry the byline KneeEd editorial, which is the company, not a person.

No clinician reviews these articles. No doctor, physical therapist or athletic trainer has signed off on them, and no article claims one has.

To report a mistake, email support@kneeed.com with the address of the article and what you think is wrong. If you have a source that shows it, include the link.

Corrections are made on the article itself. Five articles that were rewritten because the evidence did not support what they said now say so in their own text, and describe what the earlier version claimed: the guides on lower back pain, knee pain at 35, desk work and marathon recovery, and the story on Usain Bolt.
