Stockholm has been amazing for #isb2025. I had the privilege of presenting our foot and ankle standization work in a discussion on kinematic recommendations across joints. It has been a great opportunity to connect with collaborators from around the world on this effort.

I'm so happy to be in Stockholm for #isb2025. If you're here, be sure to attend Amy Lenz's talk in the foot & ankle biomechanics session in room C1 at 9:30 tomorrow!

This year's GCMAS annual meeting kicked off with a two day pre-course on "Basic Gait Analysis and Interpretation". This course was designed to provide anyone working in a clinical lab necessary clinical & technical information to become competent in data analysis and interpretation.

I'm thrilled that we had a CurveBeam HiRise installed at Shriners Children’s this week and excited to explore ways we can use weightbearing CT to better evaluate pediatric foot deformities.

I'm forever honored to be the bookends of Tom Brown's PhD students with Don Anderson. It was incredible to see 13 of 19 of his PhD students together. His approach to rigorous science, thinking creatively, and clinical collaborations have played a large role in my career

The latest issue of Foot & Ankle International includes updated standard definitions for foot & ankle terminology. They were originally introduced in 1997 and were reviewed by the AOFAS research committee and foot & ankle biomedical engineering experts in 2024.

It was such a pleasure to host Tiphanie Raffegeau as the Marquette BME graduate seminar speaker and learn about the work she's been doing using virtual reality as a tool for fall prevention research in older adults.

@shrinerschildrens.bsky.social hosted our annual State of Science meeting. Marquette University students shared updates on our foot & ankle work, including some exciting new weightbearing CT work. Our collaborators from UNT shared work using machine learning to better utilize motion analysis data

It was great to be able to volunteer with the Perry Initiative today and talk with this great group of girls about working in engineering and orthopedic surgery. These programs feel more important than ever now.

The first paper from PhD student Maxine Olson is out. She developed an algorithm to distribute a ground reaction force into multiple vectors to allow for calculation of midfoot and ankle moments using standard clinical gait lab equipment.

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.
