Published in PLOS ONE! 🚀 >>> ROBOTICS IN REHABILITATION <<< Real-time OpenSim simulations + functional joint axes = more accurate knee adduction moment prediction. Find it here: doi.org/10.1371/journa… Thanks for years of support @becrobotics #kuka @RWTH @SpohoKoeln

@Soph_astro “Fantastic to see the ‘Mares’ device back in action!” 👍

_-_ Diary of an ESA astronaut _-_ {Europe 🇪🇺} Training Weeks 57/58 🇫🇷 First stop: Paris, beautiful Paris! -> Shared this adventure with journalists and influencers, so they can help relay it to all of you! -> Met with the CADMOS and French research teams who work hard on some of the experiments I’ll conduct in orbit! 🇩🇪 Then off to Cologne 🚆 🧑‍🚀 -> Did medical checks, which are usual before spaceflights; this is what we call the “baseline data collection”. The physiological data from before and after the spaceflight will later be compared in order to better understand the effects of microgravity on various organs. For some experiments, astronauts also learn to collect physiological data and do the sample collection themselves (e.g. blood draw) on orbit! 🛰️ -> Trained to become a specialist on the Columbus module, the multi-purpose European laboratory located on the most forward & starboard (right) side of the ISS… 👏 -> Had meetings with the incredible teams who help me get ready for this spaceflight… it's true what they say: it takes a village to send someone to space. A warm thank you to each of you! Every one of you is a dot or 🐦 on the #εpsilon patch – together, you help shape it into a beautiful circle and an amazing adventure! Huge thank you! 🙏 📷 ESA – D. Dos Santos (1, 2, 3), ESA/NASA (4)

A great insight into the performance demands of German football! 👏 @janphilip_d, @LarsDonath, @dr_braunstein, Dr. Robert Rein

Great to see our paper finally published and as a plus it's the "Editor's Choice Article". That's a brilliant way to start the week 🥳 PDF is free to download ! 👏to Juliane Feel free to repost. #biomechanics #TeamReinstein #physiotherapy #almostdoesntcount @SpohoKoeln

Nice perspective on an important aspect of sprint acceleration technique 👏 - aligns well with @dannking98 MSc which found ankle dorsiflexion range linked to RF ability during early accel. The challenge is also to quantify the corresponding role of motion within the foot IMHO.

Excited to present our recent results to the aerospace medicine scientific community at the @Aero_Med conference in New Orleans / USA

Wissenschaftler*innen der Sporthochschule untersuchen gerade in Mailand die Effekte von Sprüngen unter verminderter Schwerkraft. Ihre Erkenntnisse sollen Patienten mit neuro-motorischen Beeinträchtigungen und Astronaut*innen zugute kommen. Mehr Infos: dshs-koeln.de/aktuelles/meld…

Bounce, bounce, baby!😎 Jumping around on the moon not only sounds fun, it could also prove to be a great addition to a lunar workout too🤸🌕 @esa's Space Medicine team is studying the science of moon hopping & its impact on human muscle & bone health👉bit.ly/40uUhFa

Ready to collect data in #hypogravity condition to study #MSKdeconditioning and countermeasures to long habitation on #Lunar surface: ☑️Protocol Paper (journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…) ☑️Pilot test at @LaStatale L.O.O.P. ☑️ Grazie to @delsysinc for the mini sensors! 🔳 Recruit people!

Getting these start-up vibes in our institute office. But where's my chai latte and has anyone seen the ping-pong paddles?! 🤔 Happy weekend everyone! #science

Putting together something for @NACoBiomechs. What learning management system does your institution use?

New paper in 'Sports Biomechanics' about linear acceleration mechanics. #sprint #sprinting --> A conceptual framework @SpohoKoeln @S_Willwacher tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Completely different topic than you would normally expect from me. 😎 It all started as a student project ‘some time’ ago about Nico’s sport of choice and ended up as a nice motor control paper. —> DM4pdf tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
