Excited to present soon at #ISPRM2026 about the Future of Artificial Intelligence in Rehabilitation Medicine and to talk about some of the work we are doing with it at @abilitylab.bsky.social

If you are at American Spinal Injury Association meeting this year come check our course 4 at 2:40 to hear from the winners of our 2026 data challenge

And the precision neurorehabilitation satellite is a wrap! Had a great time and nice to hear this was a record size satellite for @ncmsociety.bsky.social! Hope everyone had a good time.

Wrapped up @janeliaconf.bsky.social's Simulated Bodies meeting (www.janelia.org/you-janelia/...) — incredible to see how fast neuromuscular modeling, simulation, and neuroscience are converging.

Please consider submitting your research related to "Precision neurorehabilitation for movement disorders" to IEEE TNSRE. Thanks to the organizers of NCM satellite meeting, Profs Lee Miller and @peabody124.bsky.social

I want to like Gemini 3 but gemini-cli is the most enraging, terrible experience. It is so impulsive and while trying to develop a plan it just starts making random half baked code edits. No amount of agent file or memories seems to prevent this. It is unaligned and usless for anything complex.

At #SfN and want to hear about how BiomechGPT can provide a language interface to your biomechanics data? Checkout poster happening now at YY4 with Ruize Yang and @antihebbiann.bsky.social

If you are at @acrmrehab.bsky.social I will be presenting this morning (8am) SPECIAL SYMPOSIUM: Ai-powered Movement Analysis and a Causal Framework for Precision Rehabilitation SS1 #ACRM2025 cdmcd.co/5npwMR

Super proud of this work led by JD Peiffer (@abilitylab.bsky.social and @tgsatnu.bsky.social) preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2507.08268 project/code: intelligentsensingandrehabilitation.github.io/MonocularBio... Open source code that lets you get state-of-the-art biomechanics from a smartphone

Enjoyed presenting on "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly: AI for SCI Clinicians" with @ryansolinskymd.bsky.social and @josezariffa.bsky.social. Great enthusiasm from the crowd on the topic and the lively discussion and nice followup from precourse bsky.app/profile/ryan...

AI integration in spinal cord injury medicine precourse at the ASIA2025 meeting. Led by @peabody124.bsky.social and Dr. Sarah Brueningk. Learning lessons from other successful examples in Cancer, Alzheimer’s, Cardiology.

Over the last few years we have been developing methods for markerless motion capture of biomechanics and getting them into the clinics, such as at @abilitylab.bsky.social. We are now developing foundation models from these large datasets and testing what this enables. Two recent preprints:

Finally recovered from RehabWeek in Chicago, which was fantastic. It was a very successful week for the Intelligent Sensing and Rehabilitation lab at @abilitylab.bsky.social. (p.s. sorry below for anyone on BlueSky who I couldn't find/failed to tag)

Looking forward to presenting on what we can do with large-scale biomechanics data in rehabilitation in the SoMNiR #RehabWeek 2025 session this afternoon! @abilitylab.bsky.social

@jdpeiffer.bsky.social and Tim Unger gave a great talk in the ICORR best student paper session on their work using markerless motion capture to track arm kinematics of people with stroke. arxiv.org/abs/2411.14992

Really enoyed the session and engagement!

Continuing our #ASNR2025 symposium on #ArtificialIntelligence and computational modeling in #neurorehabilitation, @peabody124.bsky.social discussed how his lab is quantifying gait-based biomarkers during functional mobility tasks in diverse clinical settings. #AI #neuroscience #rehabilitation

Very much looking forward to our speakers: @maryamshanechi.bsky.social, @hugospiers.bsky.social, Marom Bikson, @jenpitt.bsky.social, Mary Czerwinski, @peabody124.bsky.social, @dpferris.bsky.social, @sladouce.bsky.social, Matthew Rizzo, @c-rothkopf.bsky.social, @doriswang.bsky.social, Ying Choon Wu

Don't miss our #ASNR2025 session on #AI and computational modeling to diagnose and treat functional mobility deficits! We can't wait to hear the latest from Drs. @lenating.bsky.social, @jlucasmckay.bsky.social, @peabody124.bsky.social, Trisha Kesar, & Hyeok Kwon! 🧠🔄 🧠📈 🧪 www.asnr.com/i4a/pages/in...

@ben-petrie.bsky.social gave a great #physiatry2025 presentation on EMG biofeedback for people with spinal cord injury and won first prize! Thanks to the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation for support for this project, and to all of our participants. Excited to share this soon in an upcoming manuscript!

Are you interested in data science and spinal cord injury? Looking for an opportunity to explore it? Then I highly recommend checking out the data science challenge organized through ASIA. www.kaggle.com/competitions... www.kaggle.com/competitions...

I'm at APTA CSM: - (PD-21072) Pediatrics Research Forum Precision Rehabilitation 02/13/25 Time: 3:00PM-5:00PM - (NE-21770) Markerless Motion Capture Tools for Outcomes Assessment: Expanding Capacity and Diversity for Next Generation Neurorehabilitation. 02/14/25 Time: 11:00AM-1:00PM

Pretty pleased about this work arxiv.org/abs/2502.06486 with @sinzlab.bsky.social showing how we can infer kinematic confidence intervals from multiview markerless motion capture. At least for our purposes, methods like this are equally important to traditional validation studies. #BiomechSky

Super stoked about the progress @jdpeiffer.bsky.social is making on monocular biomechanical analysis. Also really fun to connect back to my old drone hobby (and they are so much easier now than a decade ago buildandcrash.blogspot.com/2014/10/refl...)

The team did great work validating end-to-end optimization of markerless motion capture in the upper extremity for people with stroke. Compared to optical motion capture, tracking the elbow within a few degrees :). Other metrics are also great. Really enjoying the collaboration with LLUI!

This starter pack is intended for researchers in all areas of gait and posture - just let me know if you would like to be added. go.bsky.app/UaoaLRZ

Been having some great conversations and presentations about this preprint since it came out. I'm really pleased by how postively many people are responding to it. I'd love to hear from the community of any people they know doing relevant causal inference work (rehab or not).

I enjoyed presenting at the ICOT meeting in Gran Cararia www.jornadasicotdca.com. Very fun learning and hearing more about international rehabilitation and seeing the vibrant community they have here!

I enjoyed speaking about this framework in my #ICNR2024 plenary and the amount of positive feedback about it. Looking forward to future interactions!

While rehabilitation is moving towards an era of big data, we still lack a framework to analyze this data to improve outcomes. We took a stab at this, which we call a "Causal Framework for Precision Rehabilitation." arxiv.org/abs/2411.03919

Biomech friends: I've been trying to use the term "markerless motion capture" to refer to situations with multiple cameras and "human pose estimation" for single-camera work. However, as single-camera biomech estimates improve (stay tuned), I wonder if this distinction holds

Here at NUPOC, my bluesky-less colleague is hiring a post-doc research scholar. If you are a recent or soon-to-be PhD grad (or know someone who is) and are interested in prosthetics, orthotics, and rehabilitation engineering, check out this opportunity! biomch-l.isbweb.org/forum/biomch...

I'm looking for a postdoc and will be at SfN, so if you are interested in the intersection of AI/computer vision/wearables, gait analysis, and what this can tell us about the nervous system, please reach out!

I got good feedback on my grand rounds on AI, language models #LLM, and #rehabilitation. It's now available through the C-STAR catalog for anyone that is interested (free, sorry about signup step) sralab.org/academy/onli... #AbilityLab #CSTAR_P2C_Rehab

Loving how easy it is to take our #markerlessmocap system to the clinical floor and get tons of gait data (2300 trials from 220 sessions and counting!) Really nice to see we can even track people when multiple people are assisting.

Great talk on regulatory capture. I appreciated the history behind why we have such bad EMRs and why Covid tests in US are overpriced. Important to consider as we develop medical AI and ensure it actually helps patients and clinicans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9cO...

Super excited to give AbilityLab grand rounds today on Artificial Intelligence in Rehabilitation. Super important to make sure clinicians are engaged with this topic to influence how it evolves. Also so important for trainees to learn both the opportunities and to be aware of the risks.

Had a great time with the lab today setting up our markerless motion capture system on the floor and getting tons of gait analysis during inpatient rehab.
