Webinar on Neuromusculoskeletal Modeling Pipeline January 29, 2026, 9:00 AM PT We are pleased to announce our upcoming webinar with B.J. Fregly from Rice University entitled “A Hands-on Guide to the NMSM Pipeline for Treatment Design.” Designing optimal orthopedic surgery, physical rehabilitation, and neurorehabilitation interventions using “digital twins” of individual patients is an important goal of neuromusculoskeletal modeling. The open-source Matlab-based Neuromusculoskeletal Modeling (NMSM) Pipeline software was developed specifically to achieve this goal by adding Model Personalization and Treatment Optimization toolsets to the musculoskeletal modeling software OpenSim<https://opensim.stanford.edu/>. In this webinar, Dr. Fregly will provide a hands-on guide to the pipeline, including a sequence of hands-on tutorials to perform Model Personalization and Treatment Optimization steps to predict how a former collegiate soccer player should modify his soccer kicking motion to make the ball go farther. This event will be hosted jointly by the <http://mobilize.stanford.edu/> Mobilize<http://mobilize.stanford.edu/>, <http://restore.stanford.edu/> Restore<http://restore.stanford.edu/>, and FAIR<http://faircenter.stanford.edu/> Centers on Thursday, January 29, 2026, at 9:00 AM Pacific Time.

The pilot project program awards seed grants to innovative and meritorious projects that will accelerate the use of AI tools in rehabilitation research. Applicants can request up to $35,000 in funding. The program supports research projects that use or extend tools disseminated by the FAIR Center, including OpenCap, AddBiomechanics, GaitDynamics, and OpenSim.

Marissa Sinopoli and a team of Mobilize Center<http://mobilize.stanford.edu/> researchers at Stanford University developed a novel 3D medical imaging-based anatomical score for patellar instability. The team analyzed magnetic resonance images from 270 participants with and without patellar instability to derive 3D measures. The resulting 3D-Patellar Instability Anatomical Severity Score (3D-PASS) best correlated with patient-reported outcomes. This technique can use any 3D scan of the bony anatomy and has the potential to help identify patients who may or may not benefit from surgery or other interventions.
