Virtual Office Hours, Research Summit, Job Opportunities, and Resources for Smartphone-Based Clinical Gait Analysis
by Matthew Petrucci 29 Mar '23

29 Mar '23

Apply to Participate in Virtual Office Hours for Biomechanical Modeling or Machine Learning Research Questions Application Deadline: April 21, 2023, 5 PM local time Office Hour Dates: May 8-12, 2023 The Mobilize<http://mobilize.stanford.edu/> and Restore<http://restore.stanford.edu/> centers are pleased to announce they will be holding Virtual Office Hours May 8-12, 2023 to support researchers working with wearable sensors, video technology, and other modalities in rehabilitation research. There will be three tracks: 1) OpenCap<http://opencap.ai/> or other video-based analysis of movement 2) OpenSim<https://opensim.stanford.edu/> or other questions about biomechanical modeling, including via IMUs and 3) machine learning with time series or other movement/rehab data. All phases of a research project are supported, such as formulating a research question, choosing and planning appropriate methods, and addressing issues with carrying out the study. They welcome and encourage individuals to apply as a team, if relevant. Application deadline: April 21, 2023, 5 PM local time.

They presented the software they have developed to perform gait analysis in multiple clinical populations using smartphone videos. They discussed the validation of their software; demonstrated the ability to capture clinically relevant, condition-specific parameters; and guided the audience through the analysis to obtain these measures. Recordings and resources from the webinar are now available.

The researchers in these positions will help develop novel tools for measuring human movement and conduct world-class research in projects related to human performance. Candidates for both positions should have backgrounds in computer science, mechanical engineering, neuroscience, and/or biomedical engineering.
