I'm excited to finally share something I've been working on the past few years with @dlocurto_, Banu Abdikadirova, @meghanehuber, and Wouter Hoogkamer - an adjustable surface stiffness treadmill (we're calling it the AdjuSST)

New research demonstrated that regardless of age, range of motion (RoM) does not alter the torque–velocity relationship of the knee flexors/extensors between 60 and 240 deg/s.

Prepping for a pilot data collection before anyone else arrives in the building is ideal because I can do things like jam out to Taylor Swift’s fearless album in the lab with zero judgement. Makes things like software crashing or slow computers much less frustrating.
