It’s the end of an era✨Today, the TBRS Submax App officially went live on the App Store. 🥳🥳This journey began years ago with a research question and a desire to help people.
Today, my dream is real! Thank you to all who helped apps.apple.com/us/app/submax…
Celebrating our amazing trainees! 🎉 Sadie is off to PT clinical rotations after 1.5 years with us, & before leaving she challenged Elyse to enroll our 300th participant in the Stroke Recovery Registry and she did! 👏 Keerti wrapped up a productive KEE research experience. 🎉👏
I have been working on this line of research since the late 1990's & working towards clinical implementation. I feel immense joy & pride as product launch gets closer. They joy felt may be the only "thing" I have in common with @taylorswift13 when she acquired her original music.
Sneak preview👀
After years of research & refinement, we’re getting close to launching the TBRS Submaximal Exercise Test App.
More to come soon. #IYKYK

Fantastic day in Stockholm teaching neurorehab physiotherapists about exercise testing & prescription w/ a hands-on workshop focused on real-world clinical implementation. Exciting to see growing momentum for exercise-based stroke rehabilitation. 🇸🇪

Congratulations ##REACHLab trainees!
@BriaBartsch earned First Place Overall Oral Presentation & Best Presentation in Rehab Science Award. Elyse earned Second Place Overall Oral Presentation & Paul Schloerb, MD Award for Clinical Research.
The future is bright! 🤩🙌🏻
Thank you @KUMedCenter for sharing our lab’s work to improve #stroke #rehab #recovery. None of this work is possible without #teamwork. Feel fortunate to have the best colleagues and trainees! @KUMedicine This is for you @BelgianBenny kumc.edu/about/news/news-arc…
The TBRS Submax App is getting real.
From research tool → point-of-service use.
Clinic. Community. Home.
Making exercise prescription after stroke more precise, scalable, and accessible.
We’re just getting started.

New preprint: FAST Trial.
We delivered HIIT without maximal testing after #stroke.
✔️ Submax test → real-world dosing
✔️ HR targets achieved with high fidelity
✔️ Blinding to reduce expectancy bias
Time to rethink how we dose exercise. #HIIT #MICT

A dream conversation for me.
From early ideas → to where we are now with exercise, dosing and HIIT after #stroke.
Grateful to share this story what I’ve been working toward for years 👇

We did it! Our FAST Trial (Fitness After Stroke) is officially complete!
💪 600 intervention visits
⏱ 428.2 hours of exercise
Huge thanks to our amazing team and participants We're excited to dive into the data! 📊

Excited about this! A 3-year effort + an amazing collaboration with @UW colleagues. We show age-related differences in cardio- & cerebrovascular dynamics during moderate exercise & reveal how these systems bidirectionally influence each other. One of my top 5 papers from the lab!

After taking some time away from Twitter, it is time to return. We have lots of updates to share! Let’s start with a cool paper showing that endothelial cells co-localize w/ amyloid-β in the brain of a humanized animal model of Alzheimer’s @alzassociation pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3886…
The day just keeps getting better! Surrounded by #strokerecovery #researchers, #physiotherapists who truly care about finding answers to support people living w/ stroke and who see #exercise as an important component of stroke recovery.
When you get to spend time in person w/ outstanding stroke researchers focused on #physicalactivity #exercise post #stroke @WorldStrokeOrg #WSC2025. A short conversation starts and lasts for an hour!!! @kevinmoncion @TorstenRackoll @ksnoguchi @BernatDelas #NikKudiersky
Excited to have been a site for new @JAMANetworkOpen study testing electromagnetic field therapy to boost stroke recovery. 🧠
Safe, feasible & showing early promise-next step: larger trials!

Congratulations to @BriaBartsch on receiving the NOA for her @NIHFunding F31! This is such a great opportunity and we are excited for Bria. Congratulations! 🎉🥳

Such a pleasure to speak with @debkhk from @Being_Patient_ about Alzheimer’s Disease risk in women 🧠
Hint: it may in large part hinge on vascular health!
