We had a great time hosting Janneke Schwaner from Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems at our department the past days. Thanks Janneke for your inspiring lecture on the neuromechanics of agile movements, interactive discussions on comparative biomechanics and showing us why tails are useful.
Are you interested in the role of visual information in controlling gait stability? In this new paper from our group we exploited optic flow perturbations to study the relationship between gait stability and gait speed.

Co-activation can be functional, to stabilize, or pathological, e.g. after stroke, but both are captured in one EMG recording.
In our recent paper (first-author Ellis van Can) we isolate functional co-activation through a leg-swinging task in healthy adults.

Very rewarding to see so many people finding our work helpful! @tombuurke.bsky.social @carolincurtze.bsky.social
Patients with functional tremor show accelerated split-belt gait adaptation... Surprised? So were we!
