People with dyspraxia are at high risk of falling – and it’s too often overlooked theconversation.com/people-with-...

Most (72%) people with dyspraxia report high anxiety about falling – yet they’re not even mentioned in fall prevention guidelines.

People with dyspraxia are at high risk of falling – and it’s too often overlooked: theconversation.com/people-with-... An article in @uk.theconversation.com which summarises our latest findings

So happy our latest study is finally published! We show that falls are a major issue across the lifespan for individuals with DCD (i.e., Dyspraxia). Developmental Coordination Disorder: A Hidden Epidemic of Falls journals.humankinetics.com/view/journal... Key findings 👇

🚶First up, what is Dyspraxia/DCD? 🚶 Check out this infographic designed by our lab earlier this year to learn more! What fact surprised you the most? See below or read it here: drive.google.com/file/d/10hQM... #Dyspraxia/DCD #Research #DyspraxiaAwarenessWeek

It's Dyspraxia Awareness Week! Please share this information video we commissioned from dyspraxic animator Charlotte O'Neill, explaining a bit about dyspraxia (aka developmental coordination disorder). The video is suitable for school-aged kids, so share widely. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pamE...

Nearly one in 20 UK children have DCD, also known as dyspraxia, but most wait years for a diagnosis.

DCD-UK was excellent as always! Such a great community of researchers, practitioners, and those with lived experience!

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

Is PowerPoint still the go-to for making conference posters, or is there something better these days? Been a while…

Can prosthetic hand control and acceptance be influenced by personality? The tendency to engage in conscious control (Reinvestment) is seemingly associated with worse outcomes for prosthetic hand users. Great new study from our amazing PhD student! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Why is recovering from a loss of balance sometimes harder when we overthink it? In our new EEG study (now out in Jneuro!), we show that consciously controlling balance dampens the cortical response to a sudden loss of balance (and balance gets worse)! www.jneurosci.org/content/44/4...

Blue sky: the intentions feel good but in truth it seems to suck compared to twitter. Am I wrong?

Interesting implications for fall risk in the elderly -- can imagine after an index fall that people exert CMP when walking and worsen their gait

First 'proper' post here (and a lazy quote repost at that :D). New paper published in J Neuroscience. Here we explore the neural mechanisms underpinning the paradoxical decreases in stability that occur when people try to consciously control balance. www.jneurosci.org/content/44/4...
