Excited to share our recent publication evaluating estimations of the glenohumeral joint center against bi-plane fluoroscopy. Really interesting to see how accuracy changed over range of motion:

We celebrated #NationalBiomechanicsDay at the @RitchieSchool at @UofDenver with a visit from some first grade scientists! Together we explored how we collect data for and create musculoskeletal models. Read more at https://t.co/ligdbNgsfP #NBD2025 @BiomechanicsDay

New #IWB_QuarterlyPaper! ✨ This time we will focus on @dunnjuliaa‘s work on how transhumeral prosthesis impacts upper body kinematics and kinetics. 🦾 #GaitAnalysis

This International Day of Women and Girls in Science I am contributing to knowledge and supporting those around me. Grateful for @IntWomenBiomech for making sure there are familiar faces at every conference and event, no matter where I am in the world

[International Women in Biomechanics @IntWomenBiomech]

We're discussing all things AI at our upcoming March IWB meeting. MEMBERS: we want to hear your tips, tricks, and thoughts! Email us a description or recording to [email protected].

We analyzed whole body angular momentum in individuals with transhumeral limb loss, check out how regulation changes as individuals walk with and without their prosthesis

It was so fun to share our research with the @AcademyofOandP clinical care insiders podcast. We spoke about how upper extremity prosthetics may offer holistic biomechanics benefits beyond the explicit function of the prosthesis. https://t.co/oCyCMf8q2r

[Julia Dunn, PhD @dunnjuliaa]

I am excited to share that I have started my postdoctoral research position at the @UofDenver with @DeanSabick and the Human Dynamics Lab!

[Julia Dunn, PhD @dunnjuliaa]

What advice would you give incoming graduate students? See mine in the new @IntWomenBiomech blog post

[International Women in Biomechanics @IntWomenBiomech]

Are you just starting your graduate school journey? Maybe you’ve been around for a while but are looking for ways to get more out of your time here? Check out this awesome advice from @dunnjuliaa in our new blog post!

We found transhumeral prosthesis use preserved upper body motion more than disuse during gait. It is possible the changes in upper body kinematics are compensatory to preserve gait symmetry. Read more on these findings in our latest publication: https://t.co/bWsfEZDQ9R

[Julia Dunn, PhD @dunnjuliaa]

@tfunso Our paper on WBAM deregulation related to TH prosthesis use and disuse is under review! I will be excited to share it here once published

[Julia Dunn, PhD @dunnjuliaa]

Thank you to everyone who attended my defense in person and online! I am thrilled to announce that I passed and have earned my PhD in biomedical engineering!

[Julia Dunn, PhD @dunnjuliaa]

Check out our work evaluating targeted reaching performance with a transhumeral prosthesis!

@AnnaMeierPS There is a great online tool at https://t.co/RsL49mxzOA called the magic todo; it can take a task like “write response to reviewer” and break it down into smaller tasks with time estimates

Highlights from my time in Seattle include delicious dumplings, ping pong bar, watching the eclipse, and seeing sea otters

[Julia Dunn, PhD @dunnjuliaa]

Attending the @BMESociety annual meeting in Seattle was made even better with such a great @UtahBME crew

[Julia Dunn, PhD @dunnjuliaa]

This was such an interesting read and it led to an awesome discussion! Already looking forward to the next one!

[International Women in Biomechanics @IntWomenBiomech]

The IWB Book Club is going strong!! This month we read "Not Just For the Boys: Why we need more women in science" by @AtheneDonald

Thanks to @dunnjuliaa for facilitating and @frajewatson for the book recommendation! Hope we'll see even more of you for our next book club! 📚👩‍🏫

[Julia Dunn, PhD @dunnjuliaa]

Highlights from my time in Japan include snow monkeys, learning to cook traditional foods, visiting shrines, and all the public transit!

[Julia Dunn, PhD @dunnjuliaa]

Sharing my research on upper extremity kinematics with socket suspended prostheses during reaching tasks at @ISBiomechanics meeting was an amazing opportunity to connect with fellow researchers
