A perturbation is coming in the next few seconds!! Can you proactively modify anterior or posterior stability margins first? If yes, then stability margins may be feasible to improve with training.

I am actively recruiting several PhD students to join my lab at UMass Amherst (you can apply as ME, BME, or CICS) to work on wearable robotics for walking/running and neuromotor control (primitives for action generation and perception)! Shoot me an email if you're interested!

Ok, Academic Bluesky is surging! Happy to connect with others out there!

I'm currently a 3rd year postdoc at the U of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. I aim to improve our understanding of balance/postural control through fundamental and applied interdisciplinary biomechanics.

With many people joining, I thought a short intro post would be useful to help find people with similar interests. Please share!

I am a movement scientist researching falls prevention & balance/gait control, training & stability in older adults.

#biomechsky I have an invite code to share! I also have two codes that I've "copied" but whoever I shared them with has not used them. It's been at least 1 month if not 2-3 (I don't know who they went to). So, I think I'll repurpose those, too!

New work in J of Biomech from Michael Christensen!

"A pelvis-oriented margin of stability is best suited for use when the path of progression is unclear or is not reflective of the body’s orientation."
