Dovin Kiernan @dkiernan.bsky.social · 05/11/2025When running, every step creates a 'shockwave' that travels up our body. Researchers have hypothesized that these 'shocks,' and how our body deals with them, may cause injury. We show that injured runners deal with these 'shocks' differently than uninjured runners, particularly as they get tired. 141

Dovin Kiernan @dkiernan.bsky.social · 13/11/2024Since RFK Jr is taking over the NIH, I've decided to pivot my grant direction. It will now be about the biomechanics of bear wrestling as a form of subsistence farming.

Dovin Kiernan @dkiernan.bsky.social · 20/01/2024IMUs allow running biomechanics to be studied in the "real world." In real world scenarios, however, an IMU may be misplaced or may move across a data collection. We quantified how a small difference in IMU placement can affect accelerations and angular velocities. www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/24... 🧪🦴 010

Dovin Kiernan @dkiernan.bsky.social · 15/12/2023Runner's ground reaction forces are used to assess performance and injury risk but are hard to measure outside labs. We compared 27 potential methods to estimate real-world forces and found that measured accelerations accurately estimate ground reaction forces! Paper: www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/23... 050
