As a biomedical engineer and a dancer, Research Affiliate Shriya Srinivasan is dedicated to investigating the body’s movements and sensations. Whether in the lab or on stage, “I’m thinking about how we create a sense of feeling,” she says.

As an Indian classical bharatanatyam dancer and an engineer to be/ a science enthusiast. This is all I needed to see.

You are an inspiration to me! Back in 2006-08 at USC AMI biomechanical lab I worked on bion 3D software and today you reminded me of how much we have made progress in sesory stimulus, thanks so much for changing people’s lives

This is emotional and spiritual bliss. I was told to let my residual limb muscles die. I would get a better socket in less time by allowing my muscles to wilt or die. NO WAY!! My surgeon said I was the first patient he had ever seen that could move the remaining muscles. It's been 9 years and I still move them and exercise my residual muscles HOPING THAT ONE DAY THE ABILITY TO MOVE MY MUSCLES WILL QUALIFY ME FOR A SENSORY LIMB! I had a surgical amputation three months after a motorcycle wreck. I purchased an I-walk 2 prior to my first socket and WALKED into the office for my first fitting. I was surprised that Hangar didn't know what I was using to walk! I believe I have muscle control and longevity is because I am an athlete. I no longer play full court basketball but I did return to a childhood sport. I BMX bicycle raced as a child/teen and my folks still own the local Schwinn bicycle shop so I traded in the one speed 20" bicycle for gears and roads and trails. Riding my bicycle (and my Harley-no adaptive equipment on either one) are the only activities that do not hurt my residual limb plus the bicycle pedaling movement exercises and strengthens my residual muscles. It has been 9 years and I can move my remaining muscles. When people ask me if I still have phantom pain I say that I don't want the pains and sensations to completely disappear because one day there will be a better limb that will require these muscles to function. I have worked my entire life for physical fitness , to strengthen my muscles. I "practice" wiggling my toes. I move my residual muscles every step I take and I truly exercise my residual muscles on my bicycle. I am a BKLA since 2014. My prosthetic supplies are covered for life through Workers Compensation Insurance. CHUBB Insurance has been a blessing as well as my clinician. Having an adjustable ankle and a riding leg (for my motorcycle) has helped me stay active and continue living a normal life. I have prayed and will continue manifesting my own progress toward becoming a test subject for you. Please contact me so I can participate on some level. And thank you!!

This is exactly the kind of stuff I’m interested in. I’ve always loved the intricacy of dance and as a doctor I wish there were more opportunities to be a part of programs like this when I was growing up. Amazing work.

Remarkable how advanced your research has been into prosthetics, such a noble cause. On top that , it feels so right that to propel the nuances towards perfection a dance guru researcher spearheads it.

Really inspiring how dance and science can be done so beautifully and elegantly by the same person 🥺🙏

Wonderful to see this!! Especially since I last saw Shriya as a baby. What an amazing artist and scientist she has grown into. The world needs more of this. As a disabled Bharata Natyam artist myself, this is such meaningful progress to see, and it gives so many people hope.❤
