Join Our Next OpenSim Webinar “Predictive Simulation of Biological Motion Using SCONE”
October 24, 2019 at 11am Pacific Daylight Time
Predictive simulations generate motion trajectories that perform a specific task according to high-level objectives, such as walking
speed or energy efficiency. This approach is useful for applications where the motion is unknown, for example, in predicting treatment outcomes. In this webinar, Thomas Geijtenbeek from Delft University will provide an introduction to predictive simulations
and a new software framework SCONE that enables individuals without programming skills to run predictive simulations.

Webinar: Jumping into Musculoskeletal Modeling with OpenSim
October 16, 2019 at 8am Pacific Daylight Time
Join us
for an introductory tutorial on OpenSim given by
Jennifer Hicks,
NCSRR Associate Director and the OpenSim Research and Development Manager. As part of the European Society of Biomechanics webinar series, this webinar will highlight
the main capabilities of OpenSim, including new features from the latest release of the software. Dr. Hicks will also demonstrate a typical pipeline for creating and visualizing a muscle-driven simulation starting with motion capture data of a subject jumping.

Predicting Gait Adaptations Due to Ankle Plantarflexor Muscle Weakness and Contracture
Carmichael Ong and colleagues at Stanford University have utilized the
SCONE predictive simulation framework to achieve realistic motions of walking at different speeds
de novo. They utilize their framework to demonstrate how plantarflexor weakness and contracture result in heel walking and toe walking, respectively. Their research was just published in PLoS Computational Biology. The
software and experimental data used in the study are available at SimTK.
