"For patients with difficulty producing rhythmic movements, like those with walking difficulty after stroke, the InTandem system can help reduce that difficulty, both immediately and in the long term” - @louawad, @BU_DPT Professor and @BUGaitLab director

So proud to be part of this collaboration with @BUGaitLab, @louawad, @TerryEllisPT, @ReWalk_Robotics developing assistive robotics and wearable technology to directly address stroke recovery.
The ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton has received clearance from the FDA for use on stairs and curbs in the United States, making it the only personal exoskeleton to receive FDA clearance for this indication.

The @BUGaitLab at @APTAcsm #CSM2023! Great science, team, and friends more than made up for the bad San Diego weather!

Physical Therapy Professor @LouAwad and his @BUGaitLab team partnered with @MedRhythms to harness the power of music 🎶 and rhythm to teach stroke survivors to walk again.

When it comes to (zombie) biomechanics, it’s all about the brain. 🧠🎃🦴

Our lab’s first work with stroke patients now out! We investigated different assistance strategies in post-stroke gait using a powered hip #exoskeleton.
Great work co-first authored by @YTAmyPan @inseungkang & fun collab with @kesar_lab @gregory_sawicki

“We know the best care for people with #backpain is to get them moving as quickly as possible...with the exosuit, they will be able to do more activities earlier and make quicker progress” - @BU_DPT Professor Diane Dalton on #BU's @NIHendaddiction research

Excellent FES clinical practice guidelines sesh! #IFESS2022
Should CPG dictate specific electrical stim parameters or should this be taught in device specific courses?

Had a blast presenting my work this morning at @2022Wcb! We showed that an eight muscle set may be the minimum for identifying age-related differences in the neuromusuclar control of walking. Can officially check 5am presentation off my PhD bingo card ✅
ALT The dynamic motor control indices from the 11 muscle set are on the x-axis, with higher impairment to the left. On the y-axis, we have the values of the 8 and 5 muscle sets, with higher impairment values being lower. With the eight muscle set, we have high agreement in dynamic motor control indices, with an R2 of 0.7. We see significantly less agreement with the 5 muscle set, with an R2 of only 0.3.
ALT In this graph, we have the 11 8 and 5 muscle set models on the x axis. On the Y-axis we have the dynamic motor control index, where lower numbers equal a higher level of impairment. We have the young adults in black, the young-old adults in red, and the old-old adults in gray. These are the results of our previous work, where we showed a significant difference between young-adults and old-old adults. In the eight muscle set, we still have this significant difference between the two groups. However, with the five muscle set, we no longer have this difference.

Here I responded to the argument that teaching young children about the history of racism is going to make White kids feel bad. Thank you @colbertlateshow for having me. #HowToRaiseAnAntiracist

After another term of teaching scientific/grant writing to a brilliant group of PhD students, the most common mistake I saw was stating a fact, finding, or result, but then not telling the reader *why* that information is being shared with them. Help your reader connect the dots!

APTA maintains that “physical therapy,” whether provided in person or virtually, is performed or directed by licensed PTs. PT treatment and technology can and should coexist with the health and experience of the consumer in mind.

It's still hard to believe, but the fruit of my PhD and three years of postdoc is now a R package. A brief story of #musclesyneRgies. (1/9)
