You can still register for the International Motor Impairments Conference; motorimpairment.org. The program looks exciting so what are you waiting for?

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

And another preprint, this one from our STEPUP consortium: "Foot placement coordination is impaired in people with Parkinson’s Disease". Too many authors to tag!

feedback welcome!
Foot placement coordination is impaired in people with Parkinson’s Disease
Background Gait instability is a common and disabling symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD), contributing to frequent falls and reduced quality of life. While clinical balance tests and spatiotemporal g...

New preprint by Yiyuan Li, with @jvandieen.bsky.social and others; The contribution of vestibular and proprioceptive signals to trunk stabilization varies between postural tasks and between walking speeds. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
feedback welcome!
The contribution of vestibular and proprioceptive signals to trunk stabilization varies between postural tasks and between walking speeds
Stabilizing the upright posture of the trunk relies on vestibular and proprioceptive afference. Previous studies found that the feedback responses to sensory afference vary between postures and tasks....

Bump. Who will join for bouldering? probably tuesday after conference.
So who on here is going to ISPGR this year? Anyone up for a night of bouldering? There's a great gym in Maastricht... #Biomechsky

Want to do this. Shall I do this?
this is how I start all my research talks
ye shall soon be initiated into certain facts hitherto pretty generally unknown

Ok, sky help me out here. If doing inverse kinematics using IMUs, is really only the orientation of the sensors used? It would seem that if you have a reasonable estimate of pos of sensor on segment, given kinematic chain, you would also know acc, and hence, could use that info for better fit. 1/2

Have free living lower back IMU data, and want to identify gait? Check out new preprint by Yuge Zhang; "An open-source, externally validated neural network algorithm to recognize daily-life gait of older adults based on a lower-back sensor". www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... Feedback welcome!

Preprint alert! With amazing Msc student Raven (looking for a job!) and @jendavies.bsky.social, we studied involvement of the motor cortex in stabilizing gait with TMS. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Feedback welcome! This was a really fun collab, made possible thanks to @royalsociety.org grant!
