We used a bipedal hopping task to assess agility in middle to older-aged adults 🧓

Take home: Weaker quadriceps reduce hop length, while declining corticospinal tract function increases hop length variability 💪 🧠

Thank you to NLSupport for funding our study!

We're collaborating with physicians, community orgs, and people with lived experience to co-design health report cards that empower older adults to take charge of their health.

Results from this study on hemodynamics in pre-frontal cortex regions in people with #MultipleSclerosis (MS) during regular & dual-task #gait suggest people with MS may have reduced gait automaticity & limited cognitive resources to respond to dual tasks. 🧠🔄 🧠📈 🧪

Years ago I quoted an Italian researcher saying exercise should be considered a DMT in an MS group. Got a lot of heat. Very cool to see this!

Now. Anyone have full access? :D I need an institution.🙏🏼

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!
