🎥 Interview Dr. Felipe P. Carpes — Professor at UNIPAMPA (Brazil) and President of the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB)

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Felipe P. Carpes — Professor at UNIPAMPA (Brazil) and President of the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB) — for an inspiring conversation about neuromechanics, mentorship in science, and how we can make biomechanics more accessible and impactful globally.

We covered:

• Why biomechanics matters in everyday movement and rehabilitation

• The role of mentorship and community in shaping the next generation

• The future of sports and Paralympic biomechanics

• Building global bridges between labs, countries, and cultures

A huge thank you to Dr. Felipe Carpes for his openness, clarity, and leadership — and to Professor Evangelos Pappas (RMIT) for bringing us together and supporting these international exchanges.

The full conversation will be released soon on our YouTube and website — stay tuned.

A/Prof. Kane Middleton (La Trobe University) joins PoseIQ™ to talk sport & occupational biomechanics—from validating wearables and markerless motion capture in elite environments to a cricket bowling workload project using a multi-instrument approach (instrumented insoles + IMUs + markerless MoCap).

We also dig into ACL injury risk a bit as an example, why implementation and education matter, the need for collaboration across sport science, engineering and coaching, and how to be data-informed (not just data-driven).

Cricket Victoria project: quantifying bowling loads in context
Why prevention programs struggle with uptake; pairing performance + prevention
Commercialization gaps & funding realities in sport science
Collaboration: biomechanists + skill coaches + engineers + data scientists
Interpreting data into action: being data-informed vs data-driven

🚨 ACL Injuries: A Silent Public Health Crisis 🚨

In our latest PoseIQ™ Expert Chat, I spoke with Prof. Evangelos Pappas (RMIT) about why ACL injuries are more than “just sports injuries.”

👉 A ligament the size of your pinky can tear in a split second — changing an athlete’s health and future.

• Teens and young athletes are hit hardest, with females at higher risk.

• One ACL tear raises the chance of another up to 16x.

• Many end up with “30-year-olds who have 80-year-old knees.”

💡 The good news? Proven warm-up and neuromuscular programs can cut risk by half — yet most teams don’t use them.

Prof. Pappas was clear:
✔️ ACL injuries are a public health issue
✔️ We need coach adoption & prevention programs
✔️ Tech and biomechanics (like PoseIQ™) can help spot risk & support safer return-to-play

🙏 Huge thanks to Prof. Pappas for the insights. Time to treat ACL injuries as preventable and manageable, not just unlucky.
