Webinar on Computing Sit-To-Stand Biomechanics Using a Mobile Phone Wednesday, June 21, 2023, 9:00 AM Pacific Time We are pleased to announce our upcoming webinar with Melissa Boswell from Stanford University entitled “Sit2Stand: Assessing Health and Mobility from Smartphone Videos.” She will present an overview of sit2stand.ai<http://sit2stand.ai/>, a freely available web application to capture and automatically analyze self-collected at-home videos of the five-repetition sit-to-stand test. Dr. Boswell will review the findings of a nationwide at-home biomechanics study using sit2stand and also guide participants through a tutorial for implementing their processing and analysis pipelines.

Perspectives Article on Becoming a Musculoskeletal Simulation Expert Scott Uhlrich and colleagues from Stanford University and the University of Ottawa recently wrote a perspective article entitled “Ten steps to becoming a musculoskeletal simulation expert: A half-century of progress and outlook for the future” for the 50th anniversary of the International Society on Biomechanics. In the paper, they provide ten steps for becoming a musculoskeletal simulation expert by reviewing what has been done in the past and providing a roadmap for what is possible in the future.
