@aaronlwong.bsky.social @laurelbuxbaum.bsky.social & @sthibault.bsky.social found that incongruence between tool & hand motions may exacerbate competition between motions of the hand & tool. Resolving this competition is challenging for people with #LimbApraxia.

Congratulations to Postdoctoral Fellow, @jonathanwood603.bsky.social, & mentors @aaronlwong.bsky.social & @amandastherrien.bsky.social on receiving a prestigious NIH/NICHD F32 award for their project, “The role of subjective values and dopamine availability in incentive-based motor learning”!

In our recent Shrier Family Topics in Rehabilitation Science Seminar, @jonathanwood603.bsky.social presented his research on movement vigor and the effort/reward tradeoff in people with Parkinson’s disease🧠🔄

His presentation is now available on our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s49...

👇 We’re still accepting applications.

If you're attending the Neural Control of Movement Conference, join jonathanwood603.bsky.social for his oral presentation—"Determining the cognitive contributions to reduced movement vigor in people with Parkinson’s disease"—on Friday, May 2nd (10:30–12:30PM)

POSTDOC JOB OPENING. My lab at @mossresearch.bsky.social has an opening for a postdoc fellow to work with @aaronlwong.bsky.social and me on an NSF-funded research program studying mechanisms of sensory plasticity that accompany adaptive motor learning. The full posting is below. Please share!

New paper alert in NNR @asnrehab.bsky.social !

Q: Does stroke impact motor adaptation—our ability to correct motor errors through feedback and practice?

A: Based on our meta-analysis involving 21 datasets & 283 patients with stroke, we found that stroke has a detrimental effect on adaptation.

Check out this recent commentary from @jonathanwood603.bsky.social and @aaronlwong.bsky.social. They highlight the important role of subjective perceptions of effort in movement and decisions.

Check out my new podcast! (Ive always wanted to say that). It's a short summary of my recent paper looking at two different motor learning processes after stroke.

Thanks @aaronlwong.bsky.social I had fun writing this one!

. @jonathanwood603.bsky.social and I wrote a thing! A brief commentary on the importance of considering subjective factors when trying to understand behaviors like decisions about effort exertion journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Hi everyone!
I have new publication in eNeuro where we determined that reinforcement learning can be used during human locomotion.
 
Thanks to my co-authors @HyosubKim and Susanne M. Morton

Which specific motor learning processes are impaired post-stroke? Check out our new preprint!

The method, a 2AFC task, uses a Bayesian adaptive algorithm to improve efficiency, and achieved reliable lower limb position sense estimates in 50 trials! It should serve as a useful tool for gait and balance researchers who need to estimate static lower limb position sense.

Earlier this year, myself Hyosub Kim and Susanne Morton published a paper that tested the reliability of a novel method to assess static lower limb position sense while standing on a split-belt treadmill.

I am a physical therapist and postdoctoral research fellow. I am interested in motor learning and motor control in neurologic diseases like Parkinson's.

I look forward to sharing my work!

Hello all!

I enjoy playing sports (soccer, golf, and tennis) and I like fantasy/sci-fi stories like harry potter star wards, and lord of the rings.
