Short intro:
Movement scientist by training but moved towards computer simulation in my PhD, currently a Postdoc. Working with; statistical shape modeling, image based models, personalised knee and ankle models, out of lab motion capture and modelling, predictive sims, knee OA, ACLr and many more.

For anyone who had tried already our workflow for creating personalised OpenSim (JAM) models of the knee joint and struggled with installation - I have just pushed an update to the repository updated the code and installer for Python3.8 and OpenSim 4,3 - Check it out and Reach out !

Osteoarthritis (OA) is known to cause changes in bone shape. Katherine Nguyen & coauthors found that CT-based shape modelling reveals age-related bone shape changes even in knees without OA. Read (open access) in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research: https://buff.ly/4i1wJ46 #ORSSMC #orthoImaging

Our recently published paper in Foot & Ankle Clinics discusses the increased utilization of weightbearing CT and biplane fluoroscopy in the foot and ankle and the lack of standardization of 3D measurements for these applications.

Been seeing a lot more studies investigating the association between morphology/alignment and function in recent months/years. Wondering what the threshold for being able to actually directly define direct causation is/will be.

Every fornight I have ~2.5hour meeting w/ 5 researchers (15min/pp) I supervise/oversee - from ankle, knee, shoulder, and incap research ; Masters - PhD - and postdoc level. Simultaneously one of the most rewarding but draining exercises - having to swtich between each very differnt project

A reminder - check in on your colleagues - ask how they are doing. We spend so much time together in our offices and meetings its easy to be apothetic. Just because someone doesnt look like they are struggling doesnt mean they arent

Not a perfect analogy or advice but some broad strokes good points - in academia we are doing "knowledge work" - not manufacturing - don't measure your productivity by number of tasks done.

Hey all! I started a biomechanics starter pack.
Let me know who I missed so I can add them and follow them myself!
And check in to see who you might want to follow.
