Join us for our first CNB virtual mini symposium 🐓🏃🏻‍♀️! future events suited to additional time zones coming soon; join our mailing list on our website (link in flyer) to stay in the loop.

Record snowfall in Erlangen required us to be creative with our study participants. Its stability was above average, the speed not so much.

There are a couple of weeks left to apply! I just heard that we can also accept PhD students with a suitable background, so extending the call to those as well. #biomech_sky

My research group has an open position for a postdoc! Interested in investigating the postural transition towards mammalian gait using movement simulations? We might have the right position for you! More details and application info here: www.asm.tf.fau.de/en/2025/11/1...

I do love the AI generated images in student reports.

I’ll be presenting at #ISB2025 tomorrow at 09.10 in Room A1: Measuring Loads & Muscle Activity with AI. Join in if you’d like to hear about predictions of ankle moments from HD-EMG measurements and why we should check if NNs do more than predict the mean of the output data.

#ISB2025 Does marker-based optical motion capture stress participants, and do they walk differently then? This will be answered on Monday,28th 🕝 10:50-11:00 📍 Room C1 💪 Parallel session 2F - Locomotion (Influence of Pain & Perception) Come join :)

Tenured! I am incredibly grateful for the support at FAU, especially from @hornegger.bsky.social, Björn Eskofier, Philipp Beckerle, and Martin Vossiek. Of course, this step would have been impossible without the amazing researchers in my group, both past and present.

Join us in Cleveland as we fight back against the proposed cuts to NASA! The proposed FY26 budget cuts 40% of civil servant jobs at NASA Glenn, crippling their testing facilities that keep us safe. Let’s make sure it doesn’t go through! #Ohio #Cleveland #StandUpForScience

In het Biomechanica Lab van de faculteit ME roeiden 14 sterke en ervaren studenten om beurten op de roeimachine. Postdoc Tom van Wouwe en masterstudent Simon Loose maten de krachten en registreerden de bewegingen om te komen tot de meest gedetailleerde uitsplitsing van de roeislag tot nu toe.

Through generous funding from the German Research Foundation, we can support ~6 researchers from underrepresented groups and developing countries who attend the ISB congress in Stockholm and the tutorial “’In the wild’ movement analysis using dynamic simulations”.

YES! Please consider that ONE DAY might not be enough. Let's follow this expert's advice:

Our paper on sparse sensorsets was published: www.frontiersin.org/journals/bio...! Happy to get it out after many private and professional challenges. We show that as long as there are IMUs on the feet and the thighs/pelvis, simulations are similarly accurate as with a full lower leg IMU setup.

Hello, early career researchers. The deadline for applications for the Promising Young Scientist and Jacquelin Perry Emerging Female Scientist Award are coming up on Feb 28. I HIGHLY encourage you to submit an application. See details here isb2025.com/submission/a...

Biomechanics analysis of surfing! We simulated surfing from inertial sensors and RGB camera recordings: www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-5...

We have open sourced our simulation toolbox: github.com/mad-lab-fau/.... We have been using it for many years in many publications, and I’m very happy that it is now available to all! Many thanks to all coauthors and to adidas for their support in the development and release. Happy simulating!

Our paper was published! When combining biomechanics datasets for ML training, bias might be introduced. We show that ML models can identify dataset source really well. Thus, training on multiple datasets can lead to identifying the source instead of data characteristics: dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

ISBS members! Join us in Salzburg for a Women in Sports Biomechanics workshop focused on allyship - this is open to ALL members registered for the conference and we'd love to see you there! 16th Jul 17:30-19:30 (incl. refreshments!) Info: tinyurl.com/r52k23nf Sign up by 5th July: t.co/LVKpF95uu4

Please consider this petition calling to remove carnivorous fish farms as economically sustainable. Scientific evidence shows that they harm the environment and local economies around the world suffer, all just to gain profit for a small group of investors. And don’t eat their fish! fishfarmsout.org

Fish Farms Out

Scientific evidence keeps coming to light on the environmentally damaging aspects of industrial fish farming. For World Ocean Day 2024 take action now to bring it to an end. Fish Farms Out!

New preprint! We trained a neural network on dynamic muscle force recordings and showed that it can better estimate muscle forces than a Hill model. This is a first step towards more accurate muscle force estimations in human simulations as well, but a long ways to go. #biomechsky

Starting the new year finally healthy again. Wishing everyone a healthy and lovely 2024!

My department at Manchester Metropolitan University (UK) is currently advertising a Reader-level position focused on education innovation in the sport and exercise sciences. It'd be great to get someone with a #biomechanics background in the role! Closing date 4th Jan www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DEO620/r...

Please RT. My lab is recruiting PhD student(s) with interest/expertise in #wearables, #biomechanics, #machinelearning, #musculoskeletalmodeling, and #mechatronics with applications to gait and balance control. Priority deadline is Dec. 5. More info at neuromoblab.com

Submitted the ERC Starting Grant proposal. Which offers to the reviewer gods do you suggest now?

The shoe choice was not good for the goal of getting back home, it was good for the goal of having new ideas about gait adaptations in new and unexpected environments. Now on to removing any thorns from my feet.
