Webinar: SimCP: A Simulation Platform to Predict Gait Performance Following Orthopedic Interventions in Children with Cerebral Palsy September 13, 2018 at 10am Pacific Daylight Time Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have complex musculoskeletal pathologies, which are commonly corrected using orthopedic surgeries. To aid the surgical treatment planning process, Ilse Jonkers, Friedl De Groote, and colleagues have developed the SimCP simulation platform to model how clinical interventions will affect the ability of a patient to perform a typical gait pattern. The platform uses individualized musculoskeletal models and muscle synergies to personalize the simulation.

The goal of the workshop is to accelerate the research projects of OpenSim community members. Participants will work on their projects, with support and advice from the Stanford OpenSim team and each other. The event will span one week, including several video conference meetings, along with a daily forum and chat support. It is expected that participants have already begun to use OpenSim for their project. Small teams (2-3) of applicants, working on the same project, are particularly encouraged.
