I agree (and I m not biased :) that AR and computer vision is the future :)

Really enjoyed the exergames for health symposium at #ISPGR2025. There is solid evidence for its effects and hardware for fitness and clinical application (at home) is getting scalable (I am biased, but AR glasses from our sponsor #Strolll may be the goto tech soon for exergaming in neurorehab).

And stellar Yoshi Okubo on perturbation training to prevent falls - short term reductions and more effective for slips than for trips but still fairly large effect 50-%! on injuries from falls #ISPGR2025

🧠 “The hospital is the perfect place to get the WRONG impression of Parkinson’s.” – Bas Bloem at #ISPGR2025
Fantastic keynote on gait in PD.
A strong reminder that real-world movement needs real-world data—wearables and continuous monitoring are key to understanding mobility.

Thrilled our symposium on exergames for health was accepted at #ISPGR2025 in Maastricht! 🎮🧠🏃‍♂️ Amazing line-up together with Daina Sturnieks (Neuroscience Research Australia), Marie-Laure Welter (Paris Brain Institute), Anna Lisa Martin-Niedecken (Zurich University of the Arts). Can`t wait!

This prospective twin study suggests that the association between Leisure Time PA and lower all-cause mortality is probably overestimated, and may be largely due to genetic confounding and reverse causality

Objectives: The association between leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and a lower risk of mortality is susceptible to bias from multiple sources. We investigated the potential of biological ageing...
