Webinar on Tool to Automatically Process MoCap Data, Virtual Office Hours, and More
by Matthew Petrucci 24 Aug '23

24 Aug '23

Webinar on Software for Automatically Processing and Sharing Motion Capture Data Wednesday, September 20, 2023, 9:00 AM Pacific Time We are pleased to announce our upcoming webinar with Keenon Werling from Stanford University entitled “AddBiomechanics - Lowering the Barriers to Musculoskeletal Modeling and Large-Scale Discoveries in Biomechanics.” He will present an overview of AddBiomechanics<http://addbiomechanics.org>, a freely available web application that automatically generates scaled musculoskeletal models, joint angles, and torque trajectories that best fit your motion capture data. Mr. Werling will cover the validation of the tool, introduce the new inverse dynamics features, discuss the data sharing vision, and guide participants through a hands-on tutorial of uploading and processing motion capture data. This event will be hosted jointly by the Mobilize and Restore Centers.

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: August 25, 2023, 5 PM local time. Learn more and apply<https://mobilize.stanford.edu/apply-to-participate-in-virtual-office-hours-…> Apply for a Pilot Project Grant of Up to $30,000 Application Deadline: October 4, 2023 The Restore Center<http://restore.stanford.edu> seeks proposals for their pilot project program. The program awards seed grants to innovative and meritorious projects that will accelerate the use of sensor and video technology in rehabilitation research and will advance real-world monitoring and delivery of medical rehabilitation for individuals with impaired movement. Projects of particular interest are those that use or extend tools that are supported and disseminated by the Restore Center, such as OpenCap<http://opencap.ai>, OpenSense<https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8443/display/OpenSim/OpenSense+-+Kine…>, and Sit2Stand<http://sit2stand.ai>. Applicants can request up to $30,000 in funding. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, as well as individuals with disabilities, are encouraged to apply. Applications are due October 4, 2023. Learn more and apply<https://restore.stanford.edu/pilot-funding/pilot-project-application/>
