Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Matrix and Vision Treadmills Have Loose Power Cords The power cords of these treadmills loosen and detach from the treadmills’ power sockets creating fire hazards. Affected are Matrix Retail T30, TF30, T50, TF50, and T75 treadmills as well as Vision T9800, TF20, T40, and T80 treadmills. About 47,000 treadmills were sold at specialty fitness retailers nationwide and online at matrixhomefitness.com and visionfitness.com between April 2012 and May 2025. 
If you have one of these treadmills, inspect it to see whether a power cord socket bracket is installed. If there is no bracket, make certain that the power cord is fully inserted into the power socket before each use until the repair is completed. Contact Johnson Health Tech North America by phone at 1-800-211-4590 or via email at [email protected] to receive a free replacement power cord with an automatic locking-style plug which will be mailed for self-installation and does not require any tools. Use the same contact methods for more information. https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2026/Johnson-Health-Tech-Expands-Recall-to-Include-Matrix-Retail-and-Vision-Treadmills-Due-to-Fire-Hazard #matrix #vision #treadmills #powercord #fire #recall"

Miniature treadmills accelerate studies of insects walking

Fruit flies walking on minature treadmills are helping scientists learn how the nervous system enables animals to move in an unpredictable and complex world. The researchers engineered these small-scale machines from inexpensive parts. The treadmills are used in studies of how fruit flies recognize and deal with unexpected changes underfoot while they are walking. If animals, including people, were unable to sense their own bodies to coordinate their movements, walking would be nearly impossible and injury from falls would be likely. Even simple tasks like grabbing a glass of water or walking a couple of feet would be hindered if we couldn't continually sense our bodies' articulation and motion. The fly treadmill research looked at how the body's self-sensing system attempts to regain control of the body when it becomes off-kilter during locomotion.
