[Usono @usono]

Recently Usono participated in the @gem_Eindhoven innovation challenge for the @marathonehv! Together with partners we scanned multiple runners with persistent and unexplainable pains in calf and knee. Full blogpost: https://t.co/Pdbs6LgWox #onzetrots #asmlmarathoneindhoven

The result of a cool collaboration and international lab exchange between ⁦@MUNMed and⁩ ⁦@alexbreenPhD⁩ at ⁦⁦@HealthSciUni⁩. Great job ⁦@mona_frey! Thank you ⁦@CSBiomech⁩. Concurrent validity of skin-based spine kinematics https://t.co/Hb6eWW5q9K

Reaching out on the socials for a bit of help on this one.

I have read lots of papers and websites that state something like "80% of all scoliosis is Idiopathic" but none that cite a source or state it as a finding of their study. Does anyone know where this comes from?

[Alexander Breen, PhD @alexbreenPhD]

@MellorFiona @BathBiomech @biomechanic_al @bathenganddes @UniofBath I'm pretty sure i do. Thats @biomechanic_al in the photo, right? Great to see them keeping up the great work.

[Alexander Breen, PhD @alexbreenPhD]

I called customer service NL but they can't help because the session is in Germany. I called the German number but they don't speak English or Dutch.

[Alexander Breen, PhD @alexbreenPhD]

@QPark_WebcareNL can you help me? A session has started on the Dutch q-park app suggesting I'm parking in Germany. But I am with my car in the Netherlands 400km away. How can I cancel/stop this session and not be charged?

📅Save the date for #SBPR2024! The next Society for Back Pain Research scientific meeting will be in Aberdeen on the 13th - 14th of June 2024. See our web pages (https://t.co/j72ilfoX77) and follow us here for updates.

[Mehdi Nematimoez @nematimoez]

Our paper is now free to access. I appreciate the collaboration of two great scientists, @alexbreenPhD, and Professor Alan Breen! We would recommend reading this paper for those interested in #spinebiomechanics, #lowbackpain, #fusionsurgery.

Latest paper is out https://t.co/1r8ywMns5h
Using the Bournemouth Open Upright MRI, and Fluoroscopy equipment @AECCUniversityC we found that a special countermeasure suit shows promise to be an effective countermeasure for post space flight lumbar disc herniation.

@MellorFiona @OrthopodReg @SCoRMembers Yes, RSA is still used though you don't need the radiographic bead implants any more.
You can use either use the known shape of the implant or bone models from CT scans in combination with bi-plane radiography to work out the position and orientation of the object in 3D space.

[Alexander Breen, PhD @alexbreenPhD]

@MellorFiona @AmSocBiomech @ProfCaraLewis Absolutely! Just wish I had the funds to go 😔

[Exeter Science Centre @ExeSciCentre]

Happy #BackCareAwarenessWeek!

We've been working with the brilliant #IDSSSM team to make infographics + a website about their important work - learn more below 👇

[Young-Hui Chang @locomocn]

Amazing technology to address questions that would be very difficult to answer otherwise. e.g., continuous precise measurement of internal joint kinematics during locomotion. very cool.

[Casper Nim @Casper_Nim]

@CARLProgram more than research. Looking forward to discuss leadership in chiropractic with guest stars @melkerjohansson @DrAndreasEklund @alexbreenPhD and @AliceKongsted

Spare conference ticket for #SBPR2020 at Warwick Conference centre TOMORROW (30th June and 01st July 2022)
Absolutely gutted that I can't attend but I tested positive for COVID.
If anyone wants to take my place, and can get there in time, reach out.

[Alexander Breen, PhD @alexbreenPhD]

@LPhysioprof Ha! don't make promises that you can't keep 🤣.
The SBPR exec seem to have a real affinity for trolly related shenanigans
