Webinar: Why Are Antagonists Co-activated in My Simulations? Simulating Cycling and Other “High Flexion” Tasks Thursday, October 5, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time Adrian Lai from Simon Fraser University and Allison Arnold from Harvard University will discuss practical tips for simulating and analyzing tasks with large hip and knee flexion. Learn more and register<http://opensim.stanford.edu/support/event_details.html?id=193>. OpenSim Tips for Mixed Dynamics Analyses We are pleased to announce a new series of short videos highlighting tips for using OpenSim from our community of users. Our inaugural video tip<https://youtu.be/dXJ0w6dksMo> comes from Dr. BJ Fregly at Rice University, providing tips about how to solve “Mixed Dynamics” problems. If you have a tip you would like to share, please let us know<mailto:opensim@stanford.edu>. We are especially interested in tips that would have made it easier for you to get started with OpenSim. Apply to Be an OpenSim Fellow We encourage new applicants to the OpenSim Fellows Program<http://opensim.stanford.edu/support/fellows.html>, an initiative from the OpenSim project and the National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research. The goal of the Fellows Program is to cultivate and engage a community of OpenSim experts who will collectively advance the field of neuro-musculoskeletal modeling and simulation. Benefits include listing in the OpenSim consultants registry<https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu/display/OpenSim/OpenSim+Fellows>. Read more and learn how to apply<http://opensim.stanford.edu/support/fellows.html>. Follow Us on Twitter To get up-to-the-minute news related to OpenSim, follow us on Twitter<https://twitter.com/OpenSimSU>. We post information about our webinars and other events, relevant grant announcements, conferences of interest to the rehab and simulation communities, fellowship/postdoc opportunities, as well as recent publications that use OpenSim. ---- Blanca Pineda, Ed.D.

11 Sep '17

Webinar: Understanding How Exoskeletons Affect Muscle-tendon Mechanics During Walking Tuesday, September 19, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time Rachel Jackson from Carnegie Mellon University and Stanford University will talk about using EMG-driven simulations and muscle-level energetic estimates to understand muscle-tendon function with application of an ankle-exoskeleton torque. Learn more and register<http://opensim.stanford.edu/support/event_details.html?id=191>. Reminder: Deadline to Apply for the Fall Virtual OpenSim Workshop is Friday Workshop Dates: October 23, 2017 to October 27, 2017 Application Deadline: September 15, 2017 The goal of the virtual OpenSim workshop is to accelerate the research projects of OpenSim community members. Participants will work on their projects, with support and advice from the Stanford University OpenSim team and each other. The event will span one week, including two video conference meetings, along with daily chat forum support. It is expected that participants have already begun to use OpenSim for their project. Teams of applicants are highly encouraged. Learn more and apply<http://opensim.stanford.edu/support/event_details.html?id=189&title=Virtual…>. -- Blanca Pineda, Ed.D.
