Thanks to @v_komisar and @NovakAlison for all their support and input on this work!

Each year, stairway falls result in 1 million injuries in the US and 130,000 injuries in Canada. In order to improve stairway safety, we need to understand how people recover their balance on stairs so I'm so excited to share our findings with you! https://t.co/Jvvf97GwGN

Finally, the gait study we were all waiting for: 'Peer review at the Ministry of Silly Walks'

Help us identify new or evolving areas in accessibility that require national standardization

We are looking for persons with a disability, older adults, and caregivers to take part in a survey: (1) online (https://t.co/ewQi1KpzFT), (2) by mail, or (3) by telephone. 1/2

Falls on stairs account for 11% of older adults' injury-related hospitalizations, which is why it is important that we understand more about balance recovery on stairs. I'm so excited to be able to share our results with you! @v_komisar @NovakAlison https://t.co/Pe89ds2MdI

The science of understanding and preventing falls is complex. Canada, @AGEWELL_NCE, @TRI_UHN, @UofT leads the way in this area with researchers like @AvrilMansfield @NovakAlison @v_komisar just to name a few. #fallprevention #NationalInjuryPreventionDay

Our search for Nessie didn’t go so well but we did find small, round, elbow-height handrails at Urquhart Castle so overall I’d call it a win! #ISPGR2019

[philippa gosine @philippagosine]

It was great hearing how our work at Toronto Rehab fits into the broader challenge of preventing falls on stairs! #ISPGR2019

[philippa gosine @philippagosine]

Thanks to everyone who came to chat about how the shape and size of handrail affects balance recovery! #ISPGR2019

Come see Philippa Gosine's poster @philippagosine, P3-N-103. She is presenting her research on the effect of handrail cross-section on COM control during compensatory reach-to-grasp reactions to recover balance, at #ISPGR2019, Edinburgh, UK. @NovakAlison @KITETrainees @TRI_UHN.

Congratulations Anna Gosine! We are all so proud of you and wish we could be there with you to celebrate. ♥️ @MemorialU #MUNGrad19

"Fall in love with the problem, not the #technology," says Dr. @geoffreyfernie. Innovators need to involve older adults at the prototype stage and avoid the pitfall of looking for a problem that new shiny tech may or may not solve. #HIW2019 @TRI_UHN @MaRSDD #aging #innovation

Prof @geoffreyfernie + team are using #DriverLab at @iDAPTResearch to find new ways to improve driver safety https://t.co/aEG5ZVihcm
