A new stumble perturbation system that can trip people at precise moments in stride cycle, enabling us to learn more about human reflexes & how people recover their balance, so we can build similar reflexes into robotic prostheses to reduce falls & injuries in this population 1/3

National Biomechanics Day Max Donelan Shane King Maura Eveld If you are at ISB-ASB 2019 & interested in an update on the stumble treadmill system & how we are building human-like stumble recovery reflexes into powered prosthetic knees, then please come check out the poster (#3-721) & videos from Shane King & Maura Eveld today at 4pm.

AMAZING news folks. I submitted my paper to the prestigious Scientific Journal of Research & Reviews irispublishers.com/sjrr/ and it was accepted! They formatted it for publication, including Stacy Farina's lovely figure! Now to come up with $1,600...

In the past year #biomechanics in our lab has even involved intentionally tripping the Dean of the School of Engineering Philippe Fauchet using the custom obstacle perturbation system developed by Maura Eveld & Shane King! #NBD2020 National Biomechanics Day VU Engineering Vanderbilt University

Using this system, Maura Eveld Shane King & jantzen lee are studying the reflexive mechanisms that prevent falls in healthy individuals & the recovery deficiencies of transfemoral prosthesis users to develop interventions that decrease fall likelihood! #biomechanics #NBD2020

Congrats to Dr. Erik Lamers for defending his PhD "Design, Development & Evaluation of Quasi-Passive Wearable Assistive Devices" It was a privilege to work w/ him Vanderbilt CREATe & see all he accomplished I can attest Erik Lamers research was much better than his axe throwing:)

Excited for another great ISB! I’m looking forward to discussing sound-side stumble recovery for transfemoral prosthesis users. Visit me at Poster Session B (109) or reach out in the meeting hub at any time! #ISB2021 #ISB_2021 #biomechanics @ISB_2021 Vanderbilt CREATe Shane King

@ISB_2021 Let's chat about wearable algorithm development, validation, and translation for occupational/sport applications! Visit my poster during Session B (PB044) and ping me in the meeting hub to chat more. #ISB2021 #biomechanics #wearables Karl Zelik

Looking forward to the Prosthetics & Exoskeletons sessions at #IROS2021 this morning! I'll be presenting my paper on the design & implementation of a stumble recovery controller for a knee exo in Hall 14 (Prosthetics & Exoskeletons II) #exoskeleton #biomechanics

Join us at Texas Regional Robotics Symposium (TEROS) on April 14th at Rice! The symposium features distinguished researcher talks, student poster presentations, industry booths & lab tours. The free event is in-person only. Tickets are limited. RSVP NOW! teros2023.eventbrite.com

I’ll be joining U of Cincinnati Engineering and Applied Science University of Cincinnati as an Assistant Professor in the Fall! Can’t wait to get started!

🚨 New paper overviewing advances in integrating stumble recovery reflexes into lower-limb exoskeletons. #exoskeletons #wearablerobotics #biomechanics Excerpts below 👇🏽

🚨 New #prosthetics publication: Factors leading to falls in unilateral transfemoral prosthesis users. Part 2!

🎉 Congratulations to Dr. Marcie O'Malley lab member Erin Mahan for her first prize-winning "Best Workshop Presentation" at BioRob2024 in Heidelberg, Germany, this week! 🇩🇪#Glückwunsch #robotics #exoskeleton #BioRob2024

Amazing week at #BioRob2024! A fantastic workshop and panel discussion on hybrid FES-robotic systems (thanks Erin Mahan and Shane King for organizing!). Great conversations throughout! All in beautiful Heidelberg! Excited to take what I learned back to U of Cincinnati Engineering and Applied Science
