We have an open rank, tenure-line faculty position in biomechanics in the School of Kinesiology at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. At U-M we have great colleagues, exceptional resources, and biomechanics can be found all across the campus. #BiomechSky

How has biomechanics evolved?

A new perspective in the Journal of Applied Biomechanics shows how gait & posture mechanics, once outside the journal's scope, are now central to the field. Read for free here: doi.org/10.1123/jab....

I have agreed to chair Models and Motor Control at ISB (tuesday morning). I'm looking for a co-chair who is student/postdoc in this area. If you have a mentee or person to suggest please let me know!

A 40-Year Contemporary Evolution of Gait and Posture Mechanics in the Journal of Applied Biomechanics "A 40-Year Contemporary Evolution of Gait and Posture Mechanics in the Journal of Applied Biomechanics" published on 10 Jun 2025 by Human Kinetics.

Pleasure to collaborate with fellow @jabjournal.bsky.social Associate Editors @chrismccrum.bsky.social and Tanvi Bhatt in writing "A 40-Year Contemporary Evolution of Gait and Posture Mechanics in the Journal of Applied Biomechanics". Now available open access: doi.org/10.1123/jab.....

#TBT to 1987 when Dr. Dorris I. Miller analyzed GRFs in the running forward somersault. Peak force hit 13.6x BW! Her work revealed how gymnasts absorb impact + control motion—paving the way for future performance analysis.

Postdoc opportunity to do digital twin research for human and humanoid agile locomotion with myself, Wouter Hoogkamer @umill.bsky.social and Donghyun Kim! See forms.gle/FRFtLNiY7j3z... for more info and to apply by 3/19.

What happens next is unclear, the reviews have all been submitted and the discussion order was set. I hope for all that we get to have a meeting in the near future to discuss and maybe debate the merits of each proposal. 3/3

I'm incredibly sad for everyone. The investigators who spent untold hours developing the proposals. The reviewers who donated their time to review the scientific merit and rigor of the proposed science and who'd canceled classes, surgeries etc. to be at the meeting that was to be today. 2/n

This will start to filter through the community today but the Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Science Study section has been postponed to an unknown future date. The approvals at the highest levels that needed to happen for a federal review meeting to be held didn’t get done. 1/n

Hello, early career researchers. The deadline for applications for the Promising Young Scientist and Jacquelin Perry Emerging Female Scientist Award are coming up on Feb 28. I HIGHLY encourage you to submit an application. See details here isb2025.com/submission/a...

AIMBE has posted a public statement on the impact of federal policy changes on biomedical research: aimbe.org/advocate/wri...

Above, we have also developed an advocacy letter for members of the medical & biological engineering community to send to their congressional representatives on this matter.

The Journal of Applied Biomechanics @jabjournal.bsky.social is 40! Looking through the old issues has been a wonderful distraction from the world. I put my thoughts in this new Message from the Editor. journals.humankinetics.com/view/journal...

Important Announcement!

The deadline for abstract submissions to the ISB Congress 2025 has been extended to February 14th, 2025!

Spread the word—and let’s get those abstracts submitted!

Changes in lower extremity muscle coordination over a 30-minute walk do not differ by muscle fatigability Muscle fatigue, the transient decrease in muscle power, leads to low levels of physical activity and an inability to perform activities of daily livin…

New paper with alert. We (J. Hafer and S. Roelker) looked to see if muscle coordination quantified by a muscle modules analysis differed with a prolonged walk by muscle fatigue.

I have opening for a post-doc with my group at UMass-Amherst. The start date is flexible. Review of applications has just begun and is ongoing. Details of the job and the application link can be found here: careers.umass.edu/amherst/en-u...

Excited to attend my first RockyMtnASB as a speaker.
I’m looking forward to all the great biomechanics but I’m also excited because I love winter in the mountains.

Was great to have you out for a visit.
