Does holding objects like purses or laptops put us at a higher risk of falling? New research shows people are 70% less likely to fall when they can use their arms freely. doi.org/10.1016/j.humo… #retweet #science #health

Slower arm movements linked to greater fall risk for older adults A first-of-its-kind study could inform physical therapy protocols aimed at strengthening arms to prevent falls likely to cause hip fractures. Explosive arm movements help a person who is slipping regain balance…

Wait, retail shopping isn't dead? 🤯 1. Offline spending on consumer packaged goods (CPG) was flat from 2006-2016 2. Yes, online is growing. To a whole 3%! It's just not that big to matter for aggregate trends. Super interesting paper from Uyen Tran. dropbox.com/scl/fi/73pozfv…

Guess I'm just keeping up with the economy as my body weight inflates 5% every year. At this rate, I'll outpace the dollar and be a millionaire... in snacks.

Older adults move their arms 58% slower during slips, raising the risk of sideways falls and hip fractures. A new #UAZHealth study suggests arm strengthening exercises in physical therapy could improve balance and prevent injury. bit.ly/4ly7p6T @UAZPublicHealth

Excited to see my JMP at the JM in print! Super grateful to @ShrihariSridha1 & the fantastic review team—the paper is better because of their feedback. Thank you so much to my advisors @Guenter_Hitsch, Pradeep Chintagunta, Sarah Moshary, & Sanjog Misra, & my friends & mentors.

🧠💥 When you slip, your arms whip out like a tail to save you — but older adults react 36% slower, causing nearly twice the sideways shift, making balance recovery harder. New study suggests faster arm reactions may be key to better fall prevention. #Aging #balance #exercise…

Physical games are freedom. The freedom to play, freedom to trade, and freedom to sell true ownership whenever you want, without any corporation telling you otherwise. Power to the players.

A truly unique experience to be filmed. Thank you UAHS team.
