Friday literature fix! New pub from the Interdisciplinary Movement Science Lab and the Bone-Anchored Limb Research Group led by Peter Thomsen-Freitas showing increased loading symmetry during sit-to-stand movements for bone-anchored limb users. @cuanschutz.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.cl...

A perturbation is coming in the next few seconds!! Can you proactively modify anterior or posterior stability margins first? If yes, then stability margins may be feasible to improve with training. Link to @jbiomech.bsky.social pub (free through 4/21): authors.elsevier.com/a/1khrq4-6-l...

We're hiring a postdoc to work on several projects related to balance control and concussion! Please spread the word! tinyurl.com/bdz9tnat

I am actively recruiting several PhD students to join my lab at UMass Amherst (you can apply as ME, BME, or CICS) to work on wearable robotics for walking/running and neuromotor control (primitives for action generation and perception)! Shoot me an email if you're interested!

Ok, Academic Bluesky is surging! Happy to connect with others out there! I'm currently a 3rd year postdoc at the U of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. I aim to improve our understanding of balance/postural control through fundamental and applied interdisciplinary biomechanics.

With many people joining, I thought a short intro post would be useful to help find people with similar interests. Please share! I am a movement scientist researching falls prevention & balance/gait control, training & stability in older adults. My recent papers: scholar.google.de/citations?hl...

New professional headshot to pair with new professional funding! Received the official Notice of Award from the NIH for a Kirschstein-NRSA postdoctoral fellowship (F32). "Osseoperception, Proprioception, and Postural Control in Individuals with an Osseointegrated Prosthesis" #BiomechSky

#biomechsky I have an invite code to share! I also have two codes that I've "copied" but whoever I shared them with has not used them. It's been at least 1 month if not 2-3 (I don't know who they went to). So, I think I'll repurpose those, too!

Please RT. My lab is recruiting PhD student(s) with interest/expertise in #wearables, #biomechanics, #machinelearning, #musculoskeletalmodeling, and #mechatronics with applications to gait and balance control. Priority deadline is Dec. 5. More info at neuromoblab.com

New work in J of Biomech from Michael Christensen! "A pelvis-oriented margin of stability is best suited for use when the path of progression is unclear or is not reflective of the body’s orientation." Free access until 20 Nov with this link: authors.elsevier.com/c/1hraf4-6-e... #biomechsky
