We're delighted to be collaborating with @uniofwarwick on a brand new engineering-related project. Data collection is underway for Pedestrian evaluation of structural vibration (aka SENSATION), which is funded by the @HorizonEU MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship - UK Guarantee scheme

We hosted engineering A-level students from all over the South West in a schools outreach visit. The students experienced being on a train and a boat via our moving floor, explored underneath the platform and took part in three group tasks using the sensors and force plates.

Also worth celebrating the news that @Yr_Russo has just secured another Research Fellow position here at @ExeterBRC to continue his work on ageing, Parkinson's and falls for another 4 years! @ERC_Research @SallieLamb18
ISPGR@ISPGR17 May 2024
Let’s celebrate our early-career researchers. Today, we will introduce you to @Yr_Russo, a postdoc @UniofExeter who focuses his work on the neuromechanical investigation of the transient phases of gait in normal and neurological populations. Check more: researchgate.net/profile/Yur…

CFCM's Experimental Officer Joe attended the Powerboat 2 Training Course at @SeaSports_SW. This training will support our projects around alternatively powered boats. Alongside Joe, this course was also attended by James Bassitt from @v_simulators and Kirsty Frith in @CREWW_uk.

Well done to #PhD student Nimmy Abraham, an Engineering category finalist in @STEM4Brit. She was at the House of Commons yesterday to present a poster of her abstract about using VSimulators @UniofExeter to explore the dynamics of rhythmic jumping subjected to vertical vibrations

We are exploring the effects of anxiety on balance in simulated environments such as trains, developing a protocol to be applied to patient groups such as older people concerned about falling, people with Parkinson's @ParkinsonsUK and people with multiple sclerosis

In today's blog post, we are diving into the science behind cueing. Cueing serves as a valuable approach to managing motor symptoms associated with Parkinson’s. #parkinsons #pd #gaitq #gaitqtempo #medtechinnovation #parkinsonsuk #madeinbritain​ #cueing gaitq.com/posts/the-science-…

We're supporting a PhD student project to look at whether exploratory movements are still preserved during gait initiation in the absence of visual information with eyes opened and eyes closed in healthy adults.

@willyoungexeter, David Harris, Yuhan Zhang and yours truly had fun this morning running tweaked train drive files through @v_simulators for potential medical rehabilitation applications.

We were pleased to welcome our collaborative partners from @VerityXr and @OxfordBRC to our @uniofexeter facility at @ExeterSciencePk to experience our motion platform and headset virtual reality. Academics from @ExeterMed are working with them on experiments in pain and movement.
