Members of the Restore and Mobilize Centers will be leading a workshop entitled “OpenCap and AddBiomechanics: Tools for Large-Scale Biomechanics Studies” focused on two tools: OpenCap – software for measuring human movement using smartphone videos AddBiomechanics – cloud-based software for computing inverse kinematics and dynamics from marker-based motion capture data Read more…
In this webinar, Dr. Gurchiek will present a recently published study that bridges the gap in our understanding of hamstring injuries by leveraging a unique and more realistic dataset than those used in previous research.
The Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance, Restore Center, and Mobilize Center are now accepting applications for a three-day, project-based workshop on the Stanford University campus. This workshop will take place March 18-20, 2025 and is intended for researchers who are advanced users of our software tools, including OpenSim, OpenSim Moco, Read more…
Despite the frequency of hamstring injuries, the mechanisms behind them and effective prevention strategies remain unclear. Researchers from the Restore Center collaborated on two recent studies that offer new insights on hamstring injury prevention. In the first study, researchers explored the effects of nine weeks of Nordic hamstring exercises – Read more…
Knee osteoarthritis can be difficult to treat and often limits mobility. A new study led by Melissa Boswell, previously a graduate student at Stanford University, has found that a digital mindset intervention can significantly improve how people manage their osteoarthritis. Mindsets are core assumptions about a topic, in this case Read more…
We are pleased to announce we will be holding Virtual Office Hours to support researchers working with wearable sensors, video technology, and other modalities in rehabilitation research. These office hours are offered as part of the training efforts of our Restore and Mobilize Centers. We will have three tracks for Read more…
In the first half of the webinar, Dr. Maier will present her shoulder rhythm personalization approach and the results of her study. In the second half of the webinar, Dr. Maier will give a tutorial explaining how to use the personalization approach for your own data.
Great opportunity for anyone attending the upcoming ASB Conference and wanting to discuss OpenSim and related software tools with experts. We will hold Office Hours there for researchers to meet with experts and discuss questions or issues related to our software tools: OpenSim, OpenSim Moco, OpenCap, and AddBiomechanics. We will hold the Read more…
Receive guidance from the Restore and Mobilize Centers at an upcoming workshop entitled “OpenSim: Tools for rapid, large-scale musculoskeletal simulations.” In this workshop, we will present how our ecosystem of OpenSim tools for rapidly creating simulations, including from smartphone videos using OpenCap, and new features we’ve added to our Python and Jupyter notebook interfaces Read more…
In the first half of the webinar, Ms. Clancy will present her OpenSim modeling pipeline for cycling and the results of her study. In the second half, she will discuss best practices for and share lessons learned from working with OpenSim Moco, including strategies for refining Moco optimization problems.
