And there's me, explaining long bone growth. To a 5 year old, over dinner.

Anyone want to hazard a guess at how it went?

As we age, changes in gait, can signal bigger health issues like fall risk.

Gait quality is a critical (and fixable) marker of ageing well. Good gait isn’t just about mobility. It’s about healthspan.

To borrow from the Buddha - Ageing is inevitable. Ageing well is optional. Step wisely.

Predicting falls from biomechanical response to balance perturbation in older adults with knee osteoarthritis, an exploratory study. The risk of falling in people with knee osteoarthritis is greater than in asymptomatic older adults. Several biomechanical responses have been connect…

Awesome ... wait, no. Fucked.

Yep that's the word I'm looking for.

Biomechanical adaptation to compensate balance recovery in people with knee osteoarthritis Following a simulated fall, older adults with knee osteoarthritis showed greater knee flexion at first contact which might suggest inability to resist forwards motion of the body.The more extended hip...

FFS. I thought Bluesky was better than Musk-central but I'm getting Bots on here too!

New figures on drowning death rate, updated COVID-19 policy briefs, Know about flu vaccines The global drowning death rate has plummeted by 38% since 2000! This monumental achievement in global health is highlighted in WHO's first-ever report on drowning prevention. However, the report notes...

All well and good, buuuuut what's the change in participation over the same period?
