Webinar on Clinically Accessible Movement Analysis
Wednesday, June 25, 2025 at 9:00 AM PDT
We are pleased to announce our upcoming webinar with R. James Cotton from the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab entitled “Clinically Accessible Movement
Analysis Using Single and Multiview Video.” Markerless motion capture offers a promising path toward high-quality movement analysis in both clinical and research settings. However, translating video data into clinically meaningful insights requires not just
ease of use, but also accuracy sufficient to capture clinically relevant outcomes and differences. In this webinar, Dr. Cotton will discuss his lab’s recent advances in markerless motion capture that address these needs using both single-camera and multiview
video approaches. He will also lead an interactive tutorial on fitting biomechanics from a sample monocular video using his algorithms. This event is hosted jointly by the
Mobilize and
Restore Centers.

Apply to Participate in Virtual Office Hours for Biomechanical Modeling or Machine Learning Research Questions
Application Deadline: June 23, 2025, 5 PM local time
Office Hour Dates: July 14-18, 2025
The
Mobilize and
Restore Centers are pleased to announce they will be holding Virtual Office Hours
July 14-18, 2025, to support researchers working with wearable sensors, video technology, and other modalities in rehabilitation research. We will have three tracks: 1)
OpenCap or other video-based analysis of movement, 2)
OpenSim 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. We welcome and encourage individuals
to apply as a team, if relevant. Learn

OpenCap Reaches New Milestone, Enables 300,000+ Video-Based Movement Trials
Thank you to our 4,000+ users who have collected over 300,000 trials using OpenCap! OpenCap is a freely available, cloud-based tool that uses smartphones to measure
both human movement kinematics (i.e., joint angles) and kinetics (e.g., muscle activations, ground reaction forces, and joint loading). It enables researchers to capture human movement 25% faster at a fraction of the cost and was developed by Drs. Scott Uhlrich,
Antoine Falisse, and Lukasz Kidzinski, along with other Mobilize Center researchers
at Stanford.
Interested in using OpenCap for your own data? Our
getting started and
best practices materials will help you begin collecting data.

“Past, Present, and Future of Clinical Gait Analysis” Keynote at GCMAS Annual Meeting
June 17-21, 2025, Columbus, OH, USA
Scott Delp, Professor of Bioengineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Orthopaedic Surgery at Stanford University, will deliver
a featured keynote entitled “Past, Present, and Future of Clinical Gait Analysis” at the annual meeting of Gait and Clinical Movement Analysis Society (GCMAS). This mutli-disciplinary conference brings together clinicians, scientists, engineers, and therapists
dedicated to advancing the science and practice of human movement analysis. Join Professor Delp to discuss how clinical gait analysis is changing, especially in the face of artificial intelligence and emerging sources of data, such as wearables and smartphone
videos. Learn more
