INCREDIBLE !! Here we are... 😱😱😱 After days of overloading and cracks propagating, Birch Glacier collapsed today at 3.24 pm over Blatten and the dammed Lonza river... Devastating! 😭 www.letemps.ch/suisse/valai...

😃 A new article published in J Biomech by Godin et al suggest that for kinematics assessment of running, 16-352 steps are needed for spatio-temporal parameters, 16-400 steps for linear measurements, and 336-704 steps for non-linear measurements. 👀 buff.ly/ZdoVe50 #BiomechSky

Et demain à 16h ? L’activité des cerveaux d’individus peut se synchroniser lors d’une interaction, comme le toucher affectif chez un couple. Les mécanismes sous-jacents restent encore méconnus. Comment la technique de l’hyperscanning permet-elle d’étudier cette synchronie ? Comment l'interpréter ?

This stark profit disparity highlights the challenges in promoting sustainable transportation. How can we incentivize walking and cycling when car and air travel, fueled by the highly profitable petrol industry, remain the dominant modes of transport?

First 'proper' post here (and a lazy quote repost at that :D). New paper published in J Neuroscience. Here we explore the neural mechanisms underpinning the paradoxical decreases in stability that occur when people try to consciously control balance. www.jneurosci.org/content/44/4...

A “Conscious” Loss of Balance: Directing Attention to Movement Can Impair the Cortical Response to Postural Perturbations
“Trying too hard” can interfere with skilled movement, such as sports and music playing. Postural control can similarly suffer when conscious attention is directed toward it (“conscious movement proce...

Just noticed that the Gait & Posture guidelines no longer include the statement regarding sample size justification introduced between 2018 and 2019 that sparked our analysis. Wonder what went into that decision?

This paper is just out: doi.org/10.7717/peer.... We found that balance training on unstable surfaces in older adults does improve feedback responses to balance perturbations. Effects suggest that this may be mainly due to a decrease in muscle activation reducing an overshoot in the responses.

Balance training in older adults enhances feedback control after perturbations
Background As we age, avoiding falls becomes increasingly challenging. While balance training can mitigate such challenges, the specific mechanisms through which balance control improves remains uncle...
