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. Learn more and register

Apply for the Next Virtual Workshop for Advanced OpenSim Users

Deadline to Apply: September 17, 2018

Workshop Dates: October 22-26, 2018

We are pleased to announce a virtual workshop will take place over the course of one week in October. 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. Read more and apply
