🚨 New preprint on #biomechanics & #prosthetics How much do unilateral transtibial prosthesis users overload their intact limb during activities of daily living like sit-to-stand, reaching & lunging? A LOT. More than I expected. @rachelteater21 @DerekNWolf @KirstyAMcDonald

We do NOT need to get to 10,000 steps to see incredible benefits! "Compared with the least (1895 steps), the first quartile (4000 steps/day) had a 37% lower risk for all causes of death (HR = 0.63, 0.57-0.71)" Liu et al. 2022 1/n

🚨New paper out in @NatureMedicine! Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) has shown amazing results for improving #MotorControl, but does it work in #Stroke? Here we explore the effect of SCS on upper limb motor control in chronic stroke hemiparesis (1/9) nature.com/articles/s41591-0…

What if neural control of muscles were more flexible and detailed than we thought? What if cortex could determine which motoneurons are active within a muscle? @najabam and @joshuaiglaser did some very hard things to find out: doi.org/10.1038/s41593-022-0…
