🚨🧑💻Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunity @ USC We are hiring! Start date is flexible Apply by October 24 Full details below.
Have you ever wondered what someone’s gait was like before their neurologic injury/disease? In our new paper, we developed models to predict the peak AGRFs and step lengths of neurotypical adults using their gait speed, age, mass, leg length, and sex.🧵 doi.org/10.1038/s41598…
Wish you had a tool that could help increase exercise dosage while also measuring daily progress? Are your stroke patients waiting weeks to months for therapy after discharging home? Come to poster 3206 from 1-3pm to learn how telerehab could help bridge the gap! #APTACSM
I'm going back to school! This fall, I'll start in the PhD program in Biokinesiology here at @USCBKNPT with @KLeechLabUSC 🧠🎉
Officially accepted admission to @USCBKNPT’s PhD program just in time for #APTACSM! So excited to join @KLeechLabUSC full-time in the fall!
#NIH is seeking input on challenges affecting retention in the postdoctoral trainee community. Better understanding of these challenges will help NIH support competitiveness & innovation within biomedical research & its workforce. RFI deadline is 4/14: bit.ly/3E8fRGz
Retweets appreciated!
Have you ever wondered what someone's gait looked like before they had a stroke? In our new pre-print, we developed a model to predict step lengths and peak anterior GRFs in neurotypical adults - using only their age, leg length, mass, and gait speed. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Calling all pediatric physical therapists! We are interested in your perspectives on CRAWLING. See the survey linked below (takes ~10-15 minutes to complete). And please spread the word to your #pediPT colleagues! redcapsurveys.med.usc.edu/surveys/?s=AFC… #PhysicalTherapy #PTTwitter
