📣Congrats to 3 of my undergrads who have been accepted into the #scholars transforming through #research program @CURinAction! We will disseminate our #fallprevention research in DC to reporters & congress officials @AUG_University @AUG_SPH @AUG_JAGWIRE nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…
Sure, resistance training “works” in older adults. But is this true even in the “oldest old“ (aged 85+)? After 12 weeks of resistance training, older adults aged 85+ had similar gains in muscle size, strength, and functional performance to those aged up to 20 years younger…

Super excited to get this one out! Here, we establish the reliability and minimal detectable change values for backward walking outcomes! Check it out below!
New paper! · #Backward #walking metrics, including BW velocity, reliably assess #MultipleSclerosis mobility. · BW in MS shows modest correlations with future #falls & physical activity, warranting further study. @Paddytwin1 @WSU_NNL meridian.allenpress.com/ijmsc/article/…

PhD work on exercise in aged care settings from soon to be Dr Rik Dawson @dawson_rik summarised nicely in this infographic. Intervention components analysis relates trialist views in papers with effectiveness results. We learnt it from @SuzanneMDyer @DylanKneale @KatySutcliffe

Exiting news! Our study, led by PhD candidate Surim, shows that up to 50% of #dementia cases in #Canada can be prevented by modifying #lifestyle! Discover more: link.springer.com/article/10.142… Thanks @clsa_elcv for data & @AlzSWP @SchulichMedDent @ccna_ccnv for supporting our study!

Why do female patients with AD have more pronounced tau pathology compared to males? Wang et al. provide evidence that amyloid modulates tau phosphorylation in a sex-specific manner, contributing to faster neurofibrillary tau accumulation in females. tinyurl.com/5n7jfpf8
At 10-yr RCT follow-up, ~80% of patients with knee OA with physical therapy and meds did not have a knee replacement - with or without added arthroscopic surgery. Delaying joint replacement is not a supported rationale for knee arthroscopic surgery for OA. ja.ma/4aYpNAG
Training our muscles can keep our brain in shape as well. How the “muscle-brain axis” is key to keeping us both physically and mentally healthy as we age: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38615710/
Very, very proud of this outcome of my postdoc research. The take-home is that although dopamine intake improves communication between the brain and muscles, Parkinson's Disease individuals' gait remains affected. I presented part of it at #NCMDub24 nature.com/articles/s4200…
One of my favourite papers I've led. Here, we use virtual reality to explore how anxiety affects locomotor learning and updating. Key finding: locomotor actions learned in the presence of anxiety lead to enhanced and prolonged after-effects.

People living with dementia have a ⬆️ risk of falling. A systematic review by @DeborahJehu and @UBC_CogMobLab shares the evidence of exercise on falls in people living with dementia and that RCTs need to be powered for falls. @VCHhealthcare @Aging_SMART …iospress-com.eu1.proxy.openathens.net/articles/journ…
