Our latest paper highlights that fixed plantar pressure thresholds (200/600 kPa) vary widely across devices and foot regions. Diabetic foot risk assessment should move beyond fixed cut-offs toward device-specific, multidimensional approaches. @NachiC sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

That was impressive and inspirational Knud Jansen Lecture, @RituGho10326642! #ISPO2025

Pleased to be at the 20th ISPO World Congress in Stockholm! The opening ceremony highlighted the power of collaboration &the need to expand access to assistive technology for all. Looking forward to the scientific sessions & catching up with colleagues & collaboraters #ISPO2025

On this #WorldATDay, access matters as much as innovation. Barriers to assistive technology exist everywhere; taxes, tariffs & system inefficiencies to gaps in training and care. We must design for people’s needs, not system wants! #ATchangeslives @_ATscale @GATE_AT_World

It’s been a real opportunity to join #WHO’s Technical Advisory Group on #AssistiveTechnology. After a year of online meetings, we met in Geneva this week to prioritise essential products across all six domains of #AT. This list will support access, dignity and inclusion.

We presented our collaborative work on adolescent idiopathic #scoliosis at #SOSORT2025 in Croatia — from aetiopathology to conservative management and patient compliance! @Scoliosis_SR
