Do you use ultrasound imaging to look at muscle architecture changes during movement? Then UltraTimTrack is for you! We leveraged the benefits of its predecessors, UltraTrack+TimTrack, to enable automatic, objective, and accurate fascicle tracking - peerj.com/articles/cs-26… 💪🦵🦶

This is long overdue, but I am happy to share my next Biomech-omic! I was experimenting with creating a comic-style graphical abstract (hence the horizontal formatting) for a paper that was recently published! Learn more at doi.org/10.1123/jab.20….

🚨 FINAL CALL! 🚨 Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to submit your abstract for #ISB2025! Don't miss your chance to share your research with the global biomechanics community. ⏳ Deadline: 14th February 2025 (23:59 CET) 📩 Submit here: isb2025.com/submission/

To celebrate National Biomechanic Day (April 9th), I made a foldable mini-comic to highlight just a few of the amazing things biomechanists are up to! Just download, print, and fold: christopherllong.com/Biomech-omics/… Please share this free resource!

Can we alter older adult gait energetics by stiffening their footwear? Beats me! But I bet if you swing by Footwear & Foot Orthoses tomorrow (7/30) @ 10:40am in room C4 you might find out. See you there 🤓 #ISB2025
