Read the latest developments in posture and gait research from our two 2025 early career award winners @chrismccrum.bsky.social and Benjamin Filtjens (not on bluesky). Great work, both! And proud to have you both within our society.

Prof. Chang Liu did an amazing job with this behemoth of a project!!!

So happy our latest study is finally published!

We show that falls are a major issue across the lifespan for individuals with DCD (i.e., Dyspraxia).

Three-year post-doc position funded by Parkinson's UK available Cardiff University - using TMS to study inhibition of planned stepping movements and better understand freezing of gait. Full details here - krb-sjobs.brassring.com/TGnewUI/Sear...

Please share!!

Enjoyed writing this. Would great to hear other points of advice from established reaserchers and opinions of those getting, or about to get, ready to embark on a new research career.
Thank you again ISPGR.

Highlight reel from @ispgr.bsky.social 👇🏻
Had such a great time sharing our research and catching up with these awesome people!

What a week it was at #ISPGR2025 last week!

It was really special to have so many amazing colleagues productively interacting in our city (with encouragement from @melvynroerdink.bsky.social)! Thanks to all involved in the planning and organisation @ispgr.bsky.social and all who attended!

We write papers, but we build people.

You (yes, you, my fellow academic) too; please don’t forget that.

Great week at ISPGR! Massive thank you to the board and hosts for putting a great program together. Engaging and thought-provoking oral and poster presentations, reconnecting with colleagues and friends, and fostering new relationships! Already counting down to Kyoto 2027! 🇯🇵

Goodbye Maastricht and #ISPGR2025!

Conclusion: The World Congress of the @ispgr.bsky.social remains my favorite academic event and community.

I leave with new partners, new friends, and lots of fresh inspiration and ideas for future scientific advancements.

See you in Kyoto for #ISPGR2027!

Back home from my first @ispgr.bsky.social world conference

Enjoyed all the presentations and was particularly impressed by the high level of interaction within the society during both the oral and poster sessions. 👏

See you in Japan! #ISPGR2027

President @kim-delbaere.bsky.social #ISPGR2025 announces the next conference location and adjourns the meeting - see you all in two years in Kyoto!

See you in Japan! #ISPGR2027

#ISPGR25 is over, but the great science, connections, and good vibes are here to stay!

@ispgr.bsky.social

A superb finale to the series of keynotes at #ispgr2025 today from the one and only Prof Kathleen Cullen! #balance #posture #vestibular @ispgr.bsky.social

No better place than #ISPGR2025 to force my former and my current PhD student to become besties @ispgr.bsky.social

Great kick-start to ##ispgr2025 with Professor Peter Shull. Fav quote 😂:

"..the head is just a big pelvis.."

Incredible insight into his journey of research and industry experience.

Great keynote by Kathleen Cullen on neural circuits of postural control - exciting talk with lots of cool paradigms #ISPGR2025

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
