Delighted that collaborative work with @TRBL_CBIS and the ADVANCE study is now published, showing that loss of bone mineral density in lower limb amputees is localized rather than systemic and correlates with altered mechanical loading #biomechanics https://t.co/KwBym2UbLQ

No idea what the image has to do with the article but great work by @ArnaultCaillet, with @Modenaxe, @atmphillips and Dario Farina

[eLife - the journal @eLife]

The mathematical relationships between spinal motoneuron properties. https://t.co/MR1vk5FD8o

[Luca Modenese @Modenaxe]

This paper represents the outcome of a fantastic work done by @ArnaultCaillet and a fruitful collaboration with @atmphillips @icStructBiomech and Dario Farina! 🍾🎉 ..and more publications from Arnault's doctoral work are on their way!!

[Luca Modenese @Modenaxe]

We tested both the experimental and the simulated spike trains as input to a MN-driven muscle model consisting of a collection of motor unis. Both the neural drive and the whole muscle force were better predicted with the reconstructed MN pool than with the HDEMG data alone!🤯5/6

[Luca Modenese @Modenaxe]

Step 3⃣ provides a realistic distribution of the MN electrophysiological properties in the MN pool, which is applied 4⃣ to a cohort of MN models that predict the firing behaviour of the complete MN pool. 4/6

[Luca Modenese @Modenaxe]

1⃣ The MNs identified from HDEMGs are located into the MN pool. 2⃣ The common MN membrane current is estimated from the experimental data. 3⃣ It controls models of discharging MNs, calibrated to match the recorded discharge frequencies. 3/6

[Luca Modenese @Modenaxe]

Spike trains from HDEMGs alone do not accurately predict the real neural drive to muscle and are not reliable inputs to muscle models. We developed a 4⃣-step method to predict the discharge behaviour of the complete population of MNs even from limited experimental data. 2/6

[Luca Modenese @Modenaxe]

How can we use high-density EMG (HDEMG) signals to control motoneuron (MN)-driven muscle models? We offer some answers and a validated and open-source 🤩computational method in our new published paper:

Congratulations to @bicermetinn on his latest @JBiomech publication on using generative deep learning to augment gait lab datasets @modenaxe @atmphillips @alemeIis https://t.co/rZe0NNIvsh

[Structural Biomechanics @icStructBiomech]

Fantastic work from @ArnaultCaillet, with @Modenaxe, @atmphillips, and Dario Farina, on interrelated #motoneuron properties. Laying the foundations for #neuromusculoskeletal work to come.

[Preprint Review @PreprintReview]

Distilling decades of research on #motoneurons into a set of empirical relationships between anatomical and physiological properties – find out more in this #RefereedPreprint from the Modense lab (@Modenaxe).

BORS & @BoneJointRes 2022 Travelling Fellowships applications are now open. The fellowship will be a three-week travel programme, starting at the ORS 2023 and touring round centres of excellence in North America. Follow the link for more information https://t.co/ls5D3wHGoE!

[Structural Biomechanics @icStructBiomech]

Fantastic result for all research staff and students #REF2021

[Imperial College London @imperialcollege]

The #REF2021 results are in…and confirm our status as a world-class research powerhouse!

We have a greater proportion of 4* “world-leading” research than any other UK university – a testament to #OurImperial community 👉 https://t.co/QZxtDSjEs1

[Structural Biomechanics @icStructBiomech]

Congratulations to @bicermetinn on the first published work from his PhD: Altering the strength of the muscles crossing the lower limb joints only affects knee joint reaction forces https://t.co/3gFsvQyVGv @Modenaxe @atmphillips
