#EXS3030 I saw this promo featured in Michael Fox’s interview, and it gave me a good laugh! youtu.be/pOhBtTYfSE4 You can see Muhammad Ali exhibit a few symptoms of Parkinson’s disease during this promo, such as arm tremors and facial muscle rigidity.

@PombierCallum Thank you for sharing this information about resting tremors. I have never heard of them before, and assumed that all PD tremors stayed present regardless of the person’s body position.

@TomicaNatalie I loved this video! It was so sweet to see his entire mannerisms change when the music started, on top of his PD symptoms. I believe our brains love music and makes it easier to match our movements to the beats we hear, helping our brains make more connections!

@docgoble The player knew he was receiving a pass and his frontal cortex made a plan for how to catch the football. It started with jumping over the defender, and even after he missed the catch the first time, his brain stuck with the plan and decided on other ways to catch the ball (0:25)

For my #EXS3030 students' Assignment #5: youtube.com/watch?v=fKOLqM… One of the best catches in #SuperBowl history!

@docgoble This video is an impressive example of Markkanen’s proprioception system. His proprioceptirs in his muscles are able to communicate the joint angles of his arm and hand to his brain so that he can make the precise movement to complete the dunk!

@aronj702 This is a fascinating video! I wonder what kind of signal the microchip in the brain uses to move his fingers if it is not an electrical signal. I’m interested in researching this device more!

@2020Boobie Awesome video, Dustin! I have seen weightlifters on YouTube and such show how many tedious repetitions it takes to master all the movements for a power clean. This is definitely an advanced and impressive demonstration of motor control! #ohyeahhhh 😄

#exs3030 I’m posting a personal video of lifting weights for my video of Diverse Human Motor Control. This is the field I want to improve in personally. I enjoy the mechanics of weight training enhance the abilities of the Human body.

You can check out his account on TikTok to watch his amazing journey!!!

#EXS3030 Here is a diverse and impressive example of motor control done by a 3-year old! He was born with many developmental conditions, and demonstrates motor learning in physical therapy by being able to stand upright and balance independently. tiktok.com/t/ZTRpJuFHk/

I’m taking #EXS3030 @OaklanduSHS with @docgoble because I hope to work at a Physical Therapist in the future and this class will give me essential information about how the human body works that I will need to treat patients and help people in my career!
