Big thanks to @sarahroelker.bsky.social for hosting and to everyone who took the time to chat—so fun learning about the exciting biomechanics and wearable robotics projects happening there!11 Mar 2025 21:47 +0000at://did:plc:pue7mbju3bta7o7kn2aq45rg/app.bsky.feed.post/3lk525wu2e22whttps://bsky.app/profile/jenniferleestma.bsky.social/post/3ljvcmbcujc2bIt was wonderful to have Jim Ewing visit our group! Jim was the first person to receive the Agonist-Antagonist Myoneural Interface (AMI) procedure. We got to chat with him about research participation, rehab, wearable tech, and innovation.
