Awesome work by Daina Sturnieks on the effect of anxiety and cognitive dual tasking on balance recovery - clear age effect, no effect of cognitive load, axiety does seem to delay recovery, partially driven by shorter step length #ISPGR2025

Great debate #ISPGR2025 on patient participation in research, results: 44% YES / 56% NO* but with a side note: *engagement should be meaningful. Well done @meghanambrens.bsky.social @moragtaylor.bsky.social and team :)

And up next Promising Scientist winner #ISPGR2025 @chrismccrum.bsky.social to talk about fall prevention through the lens of a sprints coach - we don’t expect athletes to win medals without practice, so why would we expect older people to recover from falls without it?

And finally Inbal Paran on gray matter volumes and proactive and reactive balance - important role for putamen and amygdala for both, with a large role for cerebellum in proactive stepping and prefrontal cortex in reactive stepping #ISPGR2025

And Steve Robinovitch on head injuries during falls - holding objects and successful reach to grasp reduced the risk for head impact or injury, bracing did not #ISPGR2025

Antoine Langeard on environmental fall risk hazards - nice work with photo diaries highlighting mostly uneven flooring, poor maintenance and obstacles which did not seem to differ between old and young, but fallers & those with fear of falls seemed to perceive fewer and different hazards #ISPGR2015

And Jennifer Davis on life-space mobility and falls #ISPGR2025 - lower life-space was associated with more falls, emphasising the importance of adequate mobility to prevent falls

And stellar Yoshi Okubo on perturbation training to prevent falls - short term reductions and more effective for slips than for trips but still fairly large effect 50-%! on injuries from falls #ISPGR2025
