*Dizziness is an independent predictor of future falls in older adults* Important work from Toby Ellmers & Team 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thrilled to share a long overdue reliability paper on the balance N1! The balance N1 is stable within an individual up to one year, is reliably measured within 6 trials, and can be obtained using a clinically feasible setup with simple preprocessing biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out my latest paper showing the balance N1 is larger in anxious kids. It's also correlated to the error-related negativity, and may offer a more reliable and controllable alternative to measuring error-related brain activity. #ERN sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Great work by Jasmine and team! Check it out!

Thank you to Katie Sheehan & Toby Ellmers for a great symposium on concerns about falls - who is at risk & how we can manage it, especially as AHPs Excellent overview, also, of the OUTDOOR mobility intervention - feasibility protocol here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39133712 #FFN2024

But is concern about falling an independent risk factor for further falls, regardless of deconditioning etc? Toby Ellmers et al's upcoming systematic review (coming soon to Age_and_Ageing) suggests so #BGSconf

This led them to develop the UP-COF, the Updated Perceived Control of Falling Scale, informed by older adults and clinicians - read more in their Age_and_Ageing paper at academic.oup.com/ageing/article… #BGSconf

We did it. We killed neuro twitter and it's resuscitation it's happening somewhere else. Come join us! thetransmitter.org/community/huge…

Bluesky has now reached that sweet spot where the feed is much more engaging and interesting than it is here. I only visit twitter 1-2 times a week compared to Bsky multiple times a day now.

Why is recovering from a loss of balance sometimes harder when we overthink it? In our new EEG study (now out in Jneuro!), we show that consciously controlling balance dampens the cortical response to a sudden loss of balance (and balance gets worse)! jneurosci.org/content/44/48/…

Paradoxically – it seems that trying too hard to maximise “current” stability reduces the cortex’s ability to effectively respond to future losses of balance. More to follow from the best team ever... Rick Mills Toby Ellmers

Winding down activity here. New posts will be at: bsky.app/profile/tobyel…

Excited to share a paper looking at the relationship between perceived and actual balance, and how it relates to falls: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117… Also, Andrew Hooyman made this cool interactive app based on the data! superg.shinyapps.io/DiscordanceApp/ Jason K Longhurst, PT, DPT, PhD Martina Mancini

We are pleased to share the Article of the Month, selected by our Academic Board and the Editor-in-Chief of the EGM Journal, the official journal of #EuGMS. 📄 🔗 Read the full article here: bit.ly/4gNrwLD #EGMJournal #ArticleOfTheMonth Springer Springer Medicine

Dr Toby Ellmers (Toby Ellmers) who co-led the study, said: “Those who expressed more positive feelings about their own ageing seemed to be protected against worse physical consequences after a fall.

Dr Toby Ellmers from Imperial Department of Brain Sciences spoke to BBC Radio Scotland on research which finds there is a strong association between an older person’s view of how they are #ageing and how well they will physically recover after a fall. 🎧Listen from 54mins bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Can a brainstem reflex tell us how well you balance? Our new study shows that prepulse inhibition varies with postural load—opening the door to use PPI as a potential marker of postural control. Read the preprint 👇 dx.doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.… #gait #balance #neurophysiology

Older individuals who had more positive self-perceptions of aging at baseline were better protected against negative physical consequences following a subsequent fall. #geriatrics agsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jg…
