Neuromusculoskeletal Modeling Pipeline for Treatment Design - Access Resources from Webinar

Thank you to everyone who joined the Mobilize, FAIR, and Restore Centers webinar featuring B.J. Fregly from Rice University entitled “A Hands-on Guide to the NMSM Pipeline for Treatment Design.”  Dr. Fregly provided 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. Recordings and resources from the webinar are now available.
