Facebook just dropped a new open-source AI platform for musculoskeletal control problems. They’re interested in visualizing the body in the Metaverse, but it could also have implications for #prosthetics/#exoskeleton control. Anyone use it yet? I’m curious tech.fb.com/artificial-int…
I think the common public vastly overestimates the capabilities of current bionic arms, mostly thanks to sci-fi and misleading media coverage. I wrote up my own experience with the newest bionics tech: medium.com/@leftyonhardmo…
It must be nice to never need a landmark case to acknowledge your human rights.
TFW the emperor has no alt text
A 26 second video of essentially 4 “slides” full of text with no audio description. Retweeted by the dedicated accessibility team. This could have been four images with useful alt text instead of an inaccessible video.
It’s #IDPWD but unless you were on niche #DisabilityTwitter you’d probably never know it. There are a billion people worldwide with disabilities. When will our fight for equal rights get the attention it deserves? #Disability
#Candyman press: “So progressive, the first #1 film by a Black female director!” Also Candyman: “You can tell which character is the monster because he has a hook hand lol” Is this really the #Disability representation that deserved another sequel? 😒 #DisabilityTwitter
Compact design, and pretty cool example of how (relatively) simple passive elastic elements in an exoskeleton can provide a ton of benefit long-term. Not everything needs to be a giant mech suit.

Something to think about now that people are starting to return to office. cnn.com/2021/08/10/hea…
For more than 60 million Americans living with a disability, the ADA is so much more than a law. It’s a source of opportunity, participation, independent living, and respect. And for our nation, the ADA is more than a law as well. It’s a testament to our character as a people.
Not all disabilities are visible #DisabilityPrideMonth
Officials are blaming last-minute restrictions, but apparently agreed on this in February. Also, what could possibly go wrong when you allocate 1 PCA for a 34-member team? #beccameyers #Paralympics #DisabilityPrideMonth washingtonpost.com/sports/olympic…
Psyched to be on this list!
#DisabilityPrideMonth is a real thing and we should talk about why we need it. #DisabilityTwitter #DisabilityPride #DisabilityRights #disabled #disabilityawareness
Disabled people exist. Disabled people exist. Disabled people exist. Hire us. Represent us. Include us. It's simple. Do it. #DisabilityPrideMonth 🦾♿
Apple just announced a set of accessibility features allowing amputees to control the Apple Watch without using the touchscreen. Pretty awesome, I've never been able to use one of these before. #DisabilityTwitter #amputee #Disability #Disabilityinclusion apple.com/newsroom/2021/…
"...just 56.5 percent [of physicians] strongly agreed that they welcomed patients with disability into their practices" A stunning finding. Seems like a population who is MOST in need of available, compassionate care is least likely to get it. #Disability #DisabilityJustice
