Could your walk be a signal about your ability to win a fight? | The-14

Your walk may reveal strength and dominance. Research shows people can sense a man’s potential to win a fight just by the way he moves.

Halting Knee Osteoarthritis Progression Without Medications Or Surgery. The trick? Gait modification. #osteoarthritis #knee #gait #pain #cartilage #jointreplacement

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Halting Knee Osteoarthritis Without Medications Or Surgery What’s the trick? A small modification in your walking gait could delay any need for knee replacement surgery for years. So say University of Utah bioengineers and musculoskeletal researchers after studying a select group of 68 patients with knee arthritis in a year-long placebo-controlled trial. Their Lancet Rheumotology study revealed that a slight change in the foot angle while walking reduced both the pain and destructive changes of osteoarthritis as effectively as pain and anti-inflammatory medications. The necessary change in foot angle varied for each individual: for some, turning the toes slightly inward did the trick, while for others, turning outward worked better. The study participants trained with motion-capture and biofeedback. They then practiced at home until their slightly modified gait felt natural. Remarkably, they stuck with the adjustment for the duration of the study. The most exciting findings: At the study’s conclusion, the MRI scans of those who modified their gaits revealed less cartilage damage than controls. Their pain relief mirrored that achievable with over-the-counter painkillers like ibuprofen and was nearly as good as even stronger agents. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanrhe/article/PIIS2665-9913(25)00151-1/abstract #osteoarthritis #knee #gait #pain #cartilage #jointreplacement"

Compañeres investigadores y yo hemos publicado un paper sobre generación de datos sintéticos de marcha humana del que estoy bastante orgulloso. Lo chulo del sistema es que a partir de una ruta bidimensional, es capaz de generar keypoints de todo el cuerpo humano andando.

It was wonderful to catch up with Gammon Earhart and hear about her latest research projects in this new podcast episode! Gammon and her collaborators are using innovative approaches like self-generated rhythmic cues (singing), mobile applications, and mindfulness to improve aspects of gait and physical activity in people with Parkinson's disease.

Episode 17: Developing Interventions to Improve Gait and Increase Physical Activity in Parkinson’s Disease with Gammon Earhart

Dr. Gammon Earhart discusses how she and collaborators are conducting studies on different approaches, including a mobile health application, self-generated rhythmic cues in the form of singing, and mindfulness training, to improve aspects of walking and physical activity in people with Parkinson's disease.

Dear Friends Of All,

As we moult, #mold and #meld. Wee #gain. 4 #Example:
1. It is all #relevant
2. Choose #choices
3. #Bloom and #flower
4. #Today can be #Unique
#Fortunately we are all so #lucky to #stand on the #solders of GI-ants, #shoulders of #lambs and the #cat in the hat. We can #understand everyone's #experience if we #gait to know them.
For example:
1. #Brer #Computer said #Know.
2. Screen #reader said “Listen”.

Be the kind of kind you can. Everyone my kind of kin. Gratitude.

Navigating Cognitive Decline: Curved Walking and Depth Cameras Unveil Early Signs

First-of-its-kind study finds more gait impairments in older adults by ‘throwing them a curve’. A first-of-its-kind study suggests that to detect subtle gait impairments in older adults that often are prevalent in the early stages of cognitive decline, “throw them a curve.” Gait analysis, exam
