If you’re at #APTACSM, come hang Friday at 8AM in the Westin Marina Ballroom for the Marilyn Gossman Graduate Student Seminar to see some of the ongoing work of PhD students! I’m excited to discuss pain and sensorimotor processing in those with chronic rotator cuff tendinopathy.

Quick life update: Student ➡️ Candidate.

This video of the Rock of Gibraltar gives an intuition for why some areas of the world have deserts next to rainforests What's happening here? How can you use that to predict where there will be deserts or rainforests?🧵

PhD candidate Oscar Vila-Dieguez (Oscar Vila Dieguez), awarded the IntSoc Biomechanics Matching Dissertation Grant for completion of his research on the mechanisms of improvement in rotator cuff tendinopathy, exploring tendon morphology, neuromuscular and psychosocial factors. Congrats!

NMBHAL_Ohio is recruiting for a new Ph.D. student interested in neuroplasticity and biomechanics related to knee ACL injury - see below for more details

Believe in yourself like visitors who believe they can pet a bison.

Honored to be a recipient of a PODS II scholarship! Thank you Foundation4PT for your continued generous support and thoughtful feedback. Special thanks to Lori Michener and Jason Kutch for your mentorship and friendship. Y’all make doing a PhD fun😀 COOR Lab USC

Excited for this R01 NIAMS to fund the identification of mechanisms associated with response (+/-) to resistance exercise for those with rotator cuff tendinopathy. If you are interested in our work, a US-eligible PT, and interested in a PhD- please reach out! COOR Lab USC

I’m (finally) heading to Europe for the first time, and I need your help! Going to London for 4 days, Paris (yes, during the Olympics) for 2 days, Brussels for 2 days, and Amsterdam for 6 days. Friends who have been, what are your top sights, bars, restaurants, & activities?!

Delighted to share our latest: the effects of an *open-label* placebo injection on clinical outcomes & brain function in chronic back pain we gave participants a placebo (saline) subcutaneous injection -- and we told them it was a placebo jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman… 1/n

I love the work I do and the people I do it with, and I can’t thank the Foundation for PT Research enough for their generous support!

It’s especially fun to celebrate people as smart, conscientious, and kind as Oscar Vila Dieguez. Congrats, Dr. Vila Dieguez👏

In the action-mode, arousal is heightened, attention focused externally, and plans are converted to goal-directed movements and updated based on feedback, such as pain. The brain’s action-mode is created by a dedicated action-mode network (AMN) rdcu.be/d5odm. In the

We had a great time discussing biomechanics and central nervous system factors that contribute to low back and shoulder pain at #APTACSM. Thank you, Biomechanics SIG, for the opportunity to share our work!

Peak alpha frequency is related to pain spread, but not intensity/ duration, in UCPPS - now published in PAIN Reports !

One of the tough parts about being a proud older brother to a quantum chemist is that I can’t understand his work without using ChatGPT to explain it to me like I’m five. If anyone else wants to help, here’s his most recent nature paper😅 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our latest paper Nature Communications reviews the relationships between sleep and pain. Research shows that poor sleep worsens pain; pain worsens sleep. Clear area for better understanding these relationships and improving care. (free download) nature.com/articles/s4385…

Thrilled to share our new paper in Nature Human Behaviour! nature.com/articles/s4156… We show that combining biological 🧬 and psychosocial 📋 data offers a much stronger, more reliable path to predicting pain and diagnosis. 🧵

Congratulations to COOR Lab PhD Candidate Matt Heindel (Matt Heindel) for being awarded a Graduate Student Research Grant from American Society of Biomechanics! Matt's work leverages biomechanics and neuroscience to better understand the mechanisms of pain in those with rotator cuff tendinopathy.🧠🦾
