Highlight reel from @ispgr.bsky.social 👇🏻 Had such a great time sharing our research and catching up with these awesome people!

What a week it was at #ISPGR2025 last week! It was really special to have so many amazing colleagues productively interacting in our city (with encouragement from @melvynroerdink.bsky.social)! Thanks to all involved in the planning and organisation @ispgr.bsky.social and all who attended!

We write papers, but we build people. You (yes, you, my fellow academic) too; please don’t forget that.

Great week at ISPGR! Massive thank you to the board and hosts for putting a great program together. Engaging and thought-provoking oral and poster presentations, reconnecting with colleagues and friends, and fostering new relationships! Already counting down to Kyoto 2027! 🇯🇵

Goodbye Maastricht and #ISPGR2025! Conclusion: The World Congress of the @ispgr.bsky.social remains my favorite academic event and community. I leave with new partners, new friends, and lots of fresh inspiration and ideas for future scientific advancements. See you in Kyoto for #ISPGR2027!

Back home from my first @ispgr.bsky.social world conference Enjoyed all the presentations and was particularly impressed by the high level of interaction within the society during both the oral and poster sessions. 👏

See you in Japan! #ISPGR2027

President @kim-delbaere.bsky.social #ISPGR2025 announces the next conference location and adjourns the meeting - see you all in two years in Kyoto!

See you in Japan! #ISPGR2027

#ISPGR25 is over, but the great science, connections, and good vibes are here to stay! @ispgr.bsky.social

A superb finale to the series of keynotes at #ispgr2025 today from the one and only Prof Kathleen Cullen! #balance #posture #vestibular @ispgr.bsky.social

No better place than #ISPGR2025 to force my former and my current PhD student to become besties @ispgr.bsky.social

Great kick-start to ##ispgr2025 with Professor Peter Shull. Fav quote 😂: "..the head is just a big pelvis.." Incredible insight into his journey of research and industry experience.

Great keynote by Kathleen Cullen on neural circuits of postural control - exciting talk with lots of cool paradigms #ISPGR2025

If this were a normal @ispgr.bsky.social and I would be handling the official account as usual, this is the moment I would sign off. Not this year. Keynote tomorrow at 8:30. Party in full swing. Loving it! See you all tomorrow! #ispgr2025

Phenomenal talk ! #ispger2025

Congratulations to Benjamin Filtjens for receiving the well-deserved #ISPGR2025 emerging scientist award. Great work on advancing ML work for gait assessment in Parkinson’s disease.

Really enjoyed the exergames for health symposium at #ISPGR2025. There is solid evidence for its effects and hardware for fitness and clinical application (at home) is getting scalable (I am biased, but AR glasses from our sponsor #Strolll may be the goto tech soon for exergaming in neurorehab).

#ispgr2025 day 4 kicked off with keynote speaker Peter Shull, sharing with us his experience on how science and companies work together in the Chinese ecosystem, and where the work required towards papers and products is best done for maintaining a happy professor! #productive-interactions

First time chairing a symposium at a world congress - #ISPGR2025! It was dedicated to rethinking and introducing new best practices in co-developing tailored tech-enhanced training concepts. Excited for two more days of connecting, discussing, and progressing together. @ispgr.bsky.social
