Congratulations to Associate Professor Andrew Philp (Centenary Institute and the University of Technology Sydney) plus collaborators, who will undertake pioneering research into age-related muscle loss, called sarcopenia, with a Dynamic Resilience Program contract from Wellcome Leap. Exploring the impacts of ageing on muscle function, the researchers will seek to develop potential interventions to enhance the quality of life for older individuals. At the heart of the research investigation lies a novel model for studying human muscle ageing – tiny laboratory-grown human skeletal muscles, called micro-muscles. Associate Professor Philp said that their advanced micro-muscle model would be able to simulate age-related conditions like sarcopenia and hospitalisations to help unlock the secrets of skeletal muscle's resilience to ageing and inactivity.

This paper explores the connection between three clinical phenomena: skull vibration-induced nystagmus, enhanced vestibular evoked myogenic potentials, and the Tullio phenomenon. The common thread is the remarkable response of semicircular canal afferent neurons to sound and vibration after a semicircular canal dehiscence. Thanks to Prof Curthoys and team for this highly relevant paper, published in Audiol. Res. June, 2023. https://lnkd.in/gVubr5X8 A must read for vestibular clinicians! #vestibular #ENT #vesticam

Exciting new research! 🎉 A recent study has explored a promising approach to assess human balance capabilities objectively. The research focuses on utilizing the center of mass (COM) state space, in addition to the commonly used center of pressure (COP), to provide a comprehensive understanding of postural stability. By implementing a musculoskeletal model integrated with a reinforcement learning-based balance controller, the study investigates balancing capabilities in humans. The results indicate the potential of this method to establish balance recovery limits and objectively evaluate balance capability.

👩🔬👨🔬 Bridging #Chiropractic and #Engineering at ETH Zürich's Balgrist Campus AG Our landmark study, "Analysis of #Force #Profile #Features in Spinal Manipulation Therapy (SMT)," was just published in IEEE Access. This collaborative effort between chiropractic and engineering fields, by our team: Valentina, Luana Nyirö, Lindsay Gorrell MChiroprac PhD, Petra Schweinhardt, and Carlo Menon, offers groundbreaking insights into SMT. Analyzing data from 1,233 SMT interventions, our team has found key differences in thrust speed during SMT between different patient groups, such as athletic young males and elderly females. These findings (with a significant p-value of < 0.01) pave the way for more #personalized #SMT approaches and the development of advanced #treatment #feedback tools. More details of our research, check out the paper here: https://lnkd.in/eK8PQJJp 🌟 A special shoutout to Valentina and Luana Nyirö for their exceptional dedication and hard work on this project! #personalizedmedicine #digitalhealth #chiropractictreatment #biomedicalengineering #healthcaretechnology #ethzurich

Moving away from MA philosophy, we need to define the ideal Personalized technique and boundaries. Compromises and negotiations are part and parcel of life. Do you believe in unrestricted KA for every case, or do you think you should accept compromises in certain situations? Two recent editorials discussing the limits of personalized knee replacement - Stephen Howell proposes that replicating all anatomies is safe, but our group believes that pathological anatomies exist and would not be compatible with current knee replacement implants.

Open Kinetic Chain Knee Extension After ACL Reconstruction Should we perform open kinetic chain exercises after ACL reconstruction? Current research suggests we should. However, make sure you understand the science. Here's how we use OKC knee extension at Champion.

If we are only using a CMJ assessment to monitor neuromuscular fatigue in athletes, are we truly getting the best information? We know that neuromuscular fatigue is task-specific, so if we want to measure fatigue during running, then a CMJ might not be as specific as we can be? I always like to go back to this 2015 article when thinking about this topic. There's no doubt that the CMJ certainly has its place in fatigue monitoring. However, if accelerometer signals can be used to detect changes in neuromuscular fatigue during running, then this is much more likely to be task-specific. Not to mention the ability to monitor multiple athletes at once vs. one at a time with a CMJ. Lots of research has emerged over the years in this topic, and I highly recommend reading into it further to see how we can continually get the best information for our athletes.

I am so excited to dive into this book. "The arts are another way to really start to think about what we need, not as a nice-to-have or a luxury, but really a have-to-have for our health and well-being. The fact that there is science that's really beginning to show the neuroplasticity, the changes in neurotransmitters, the physiological structural changes in the brain, and also the impact on the body, I think we're starting to be able to provide an evidence base. We are really evolutionarily wired for the arts." ~Susan Magsamen - founder and director of the International Arts Mind Lab, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Pedersen Brain Science Institute, co-director of the NeuroArts Blueprint, and co-author of Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us
