#Biomechanics

Happy #NationalBiomechanicsDay to all! I've put together a little game since no students are visiting our lab today. In the tweets below I have videos from 3 professional athletes demonstrating

Some sad news for colleagues and former students of Dr. Mary Marzke (one of my PhD advisors in anthropology at Arizona State U) who died yesterday surround by her lovely

Thanks for all the great @BiomechanicsDay posts, videos & memories shared this week! Refreshing, energizing & inspiring! @CREATEatVandy & I posted on a few social media sites. Compiling here into

Our new @JBiomech paper on sample size estimation for biomechanical waveforms is now online at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2021.110451 . Coauthors @ScienceJos & Todd Pataky. Here is what it is about. Sample size

I think the term *Hypermobile* Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is entirely inadequate & superficial & leading to widespread misunderstanding & mistreatment of patients. It paints a picture of a benign condition—someone who’s

Okay story time https://twitter.com/whatismedicine/status/1290092431052910594 So in undergrad I decided to do a thesis instead of placement to try and help me get into medicine/serve as a backup plan to help

A thread on the biomechanics of a squatA proper squat involves every joint action available within the lower body, just at differing moments.I will split it up into three phases.Phase

In light of the Salazar revelations from both USADA and Cain, largely centering around Salazar acting as an authority in areas he has no qualifications (medical, nutrition, psychology, etc), I’m

Movement Thread:@FFStudentDoc started a conversation about Jerry Jeudy's unique knee mechanics and possible injury risk. Whether he is at risk or not is tough to measure, and these characteristics are

I’ve just finished a large block of teaching biomechanics across UG & MSc modules using a blended learning approach (F2F labs, live online labs, recorded lectures, online seminars/tutorials) & these

We know that the soleus has a knee extensor function due to its posterior pull on the tibia during ground contact with knee flexion. In fact the soleus has a

A thread on infrastructure x health x work performance: Productivity in the industrial age was easily measured and it birthed Industrial Engineering. People conducted repeatable/simple tasks which could be measured

THREAD:One of the most important biomechanical elements in football is shooting technique; it heavily influences a player's ability to score.This short thread will analyse finishing and how Marcus Rashford's efficiency

Couple things I consider to be fundamental to sprinting & have heavily influenced my outlooks. The accelerative abilities & biomechanics tend to be undervalued. Can I gain an advantage early

Four years ago @leonscottmd asked if we could use #wearables to monitor & eventually reduce bone stress injury risks in runners. Based on our latest #biomechanics study I'm more &

I have some grave concerns about some of the underlying messages in this paper (thread).For me, it is a good example of an argument that on the surface seems reasonable,
