We used a bipedal hopping task to assess agility in middle to older-aged adults 🧓

Take home: Weaker quadriceps reduce hop length, while declining corticospinal tract function increases hop length variability 💪 🧠

Thank you to NLSupport for funding our study!

We're collaborating with physicians, community orgs, and people with lived experience to co-design health report cards that empower older adults to take charge of their health.

This image shows details about the journal article linked in the post. The title of the article is, "Hemodynamics of the Frontopolar and Dorsolateral Pre-Frontal Cortex in People with Multiple Sclerosis During Walking, Cognitive Subtraction, and Cognitive-Motor Dual-Task", and it was published in the journal Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair.

Results from this study on hemodynamics in pre-frontal cortex regions in people with #MultipleSclerosis (MS) during regular & dual-task #gait suggest people with MS may have reduced gait automaticity & limited cognitive resources to respond to dual tasks. 🧠🔄 🧠📈 🧪

Years ago I quoted an Italian researcher saying exercise should be considered a DMT in an MS group. Got a lot of heat. Very cool to see this!

Now. Anyone have full access? :D I need an institution.🙏🏼

Cardiorespiratory fitness but not cognition predicts covert worsening of gait variability over two years in people with multiple sclerosis Gait is typically symmetrical and consistent and subtle increases in gait variability can suggest loss of neural control. In multiple sclerosis (MS), …

Do we need another starter pack? I'm erring on the side of yes.

Hi Everyone - I know I've missed out a few folks who wanted me to add them to the starter pack. Please can you send me a message via chat and I'll add you. Thanks and apologies if I missed you out.

This starter pack is in honor of Assistant Professor Antentor Hinton Jr (AJ) at Vanderbilt School of Medicine - Basic Sciences. AJ curated the first 100 Inspiring Black Scientists in America list and in collaboration with the Community of Scholars expanded this list to the 1000.

@sandyb-reachlab.bsky.social welcome to the blue side!! We need a starter pack for our favourite stroke scientists!

Since this is getting busier, here's the #sensorimotor starter pack again go.bsky.app/U4oyFgw

There's still room to add more people, so ask to be added if not on the list

Eliminate unconscious gender bias in your letters of support 🤦‍♀️ female applications “pleasant” “hard working” “mature” “worked well with others” while male applications “cutting edge” “innovative” “excels”. We can do better.
