Matt Bancroft

Scientist interested in how & why people fall over. I research the neural control of action (esp. gait & balance) in neurological disease. Post-doc @UCLIoN

[Matt Bancroft @battmancroft]

Delighted to have contributed to a chapter on Voluntary steps and gait initiation. It summarises the Throw and Catch model of human stepping and provides new evidence with data from my PhD thesis https://t.co/CUiXjouLmZ

@paulyoz2ahughes @evertonspares I'm interested - follow me back so we can DM

[@BrainComms @braincomms]

Bancroft et al. report head movements away from neutral increase intracranial pressure and pulsatility, effects varying by posture and shunt status. This may guide smart shunt design and symptom management. Read at https://t.co/TDIwCBz39w @battmancroft @EleanorMoncur @AhmedToma13

Thanks to @BrainAppeal for funding the work and congrats to @EleanorMoncur on a 1st first author paper

[Matt Bancroft @battmancroft]

New paper from me and @QSNeurosurgery colleagues out in @BrainSpineJ
Ambulatory intracranial pressure in humans: ICP increases during movement between body positions.
https://t.co/1oDBttz4HA

[Matt Bancroft @battmancroft]

A greater increase in ICP during movement might be a marker of disturbed ICP regulation. The increase in ICP during movement might cause brief CSF 'over-drainage' in shunted individuals. Our findings may inform the design of the long-awaited ‘smart shunt’.
