This October, the fifth Motor Impairment Conference will take place in Amsterdam.
We have an excellent list of invited speakers on various domains of motor impairment and cordially invite you to join.
Abstract submission deadline is August 8th. For details see: motorimpairment.org.

Bonus 2: we all got a warm up from Sphery CEO Anna Lisa Martin Niedecken, rehearsing our dance moves for tonight’s conference party at Ipanema. #ISPGR2025

Bonus: live demos of the exergames involved in the presented research. My brave team mates Pieter van Doorn and Daphne Geerse volunteered on stage.

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).

Congratulations to Benjamin Filtjens for receiving the well-deserved #ISPGR2025 emerging scientist award. Great work on advancing ML work for gait assessment in Parkinson’s disease.

#ispgr2025 day 4 kicked off with keynote speaker Peter Shull, sharing with us his experience on how science and companies work together in the Chinese ecosystem, and where the work required towards papers and products is best done for maintaining a happy professor! #productive-interactions

Proud of colleague @chrismccrum.bsky.social for receiving the well-deserved #ISPGR2025 promising young scientist award! Looking forward to kick off a PhD project with him, Pieter Meyns, and @kennethmeijer.bsky.social in the fall on augmented reality fall-risk assessment and treatment with #Strolll

At #ISPGR2025 we were fortunate to have @olekiehn.bsky.social as keynote today, sharing with us his cutting edge research on context-dependent locomotor pathways, with implications for understanding locomotor impairment in people with Parkinson’s disease and #DBS opportunities to treat those.

First round of symposiums started at #ISPGR2025. Loved the “I am my environment” symposium, exemplifying the power of symposia where the whole is more than the sum of the parts.

At #ISPGR2025 we just piloted something new. Guided poster tours. Really enjoyed guiding my poster tourists along pitoresque perturbation posters. Thanks all involved for the deep discussion. Is this the productive power of many-to-many interactions we hope to promote? #poorselfies

It’s an honor for our ISPGR society to have @bjmcfadyen.bsky.social as our honorary member. Thanks for all you did for our beloved society #ISPGR2025

#ispgr2025 day 2 kicks off with our second keynote, focusing on connectedness, from molecules to movement!#productive_interactions

Welcome #ISPGR2025 attendees to Maastricht! Early bird preconference workshops are well attended and progressing smoothly!

One more night of sleep, if at all possible given the excitement! Looking forward welcoming all attendees in lovely Maastricht!
