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 https://t.co/pSGJrXNpjZ

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.

What advice would you give incoming graduate students? See mine in the new @IntWomenBiomech blog post
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! https://t.co/WmOJ0EYI1u

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:

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