>> Simbios Research Highlight  

 

Using OpenSim Biomechanical Simulations for Planning Surgeries for
Children with Cerebral Palsy

Our new video describes how and why we simulate movement and demonstrates
how modeling is being applied to help plan surgery for children with
cerebral palsy.  View the video and learn more about the OpenSim project
and related research publications at http://simbios.stanford.edu.

 <http://simbios.stanford.edu/news.htm> OpenSim 2.4 Released

OpenSim <http://opensim.stanford.edu/>  is a robust and flexible software
package of modeling and simulation of the musculoskeletal system.  This
latest version includes faster, more robust tools for inverse dynamics and
inverse kinematics, new visualization tools, enhanced access for API
users, and several usability improvements. 

 

 <http://simbios.stanford.edu/news.htm> OpenSim Making the Rounds:  at the
Leonardo Museum, in Vegas, and in Spain

The OpenSim team held a workshop at the HYPER Summer School on
Neurorehabilitation in Spain in September and then headed to Las Vegas to
give a hands-on session for a clinical audience at the American Academy
for Cerebral Palsy and Development Medicine Annual Meeting.  Workshop
materials for both events are available on-line.  Simultaneously, the team
launched a new video <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME0VHfCtIM0>  of
OpenSim and an interactive soccer ball kicking
<https://simtk.org/home/soccerkickmodel> "game" created within OpenSim,
which are featured as part of an exhibit on understanding human movement
at the Leonardo Museum, a new art, science, and technology museum in Salt
Lake City.   Read the full press release here
