[Pineda, Blanca S]

Apply to the NCSRR/OpenSim Visiting Scholars Program
Summer 2018 at Stanford University
Applications are due on February 2, 2018 at 5:00pm Local Time of Applicant
The National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research (NCSRR) is now accepting applications for the 2018 Visiting Scholars Program. The program is a unique experience that fosters expertise and collaborations in biomechanical simulations for rehabilitation research. Up to four individuals will be chosen to visit the NCSRR at Stanford University for a 5-week period during the summer of 2018.

Eight OpenSim Tutorials Translated to Japanese
Physical therapist and OpenSim user Shinya Ogaya from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Japan translated several OpenSim tutorials to Japanese. Translated tutorials include:
*      Intro to musculoskeletal modeling
*      Simulation and analysis of a tendon transfer surgery
*      Scaling, inverse kinematics, and inverse dynamics
*      Soccer kick example
*      Simulation-based design to prevent ankle injuries
*      Simulation-based design to reduce metabolic cost
*      Dynamic walking challenge: Go the distance
*      Working with static optimization
