Advancing the Biomechanical Understanding of Cycling through Simulation

Musculoskeletal simulations have enabled researchers to gain insight into tasks like walking and running, but similar pipelines for cycling do not exist. Caitlin Clancy and a team of Mobilize Center researchers at Stanford University have addressed that gap–they developed a muscle-driven simulation pipeline for cycling and explored different optimization objectives.

OpenSim+ Advanced User Workshop at Stanford University

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 11-13, 2024 and is intended for researchers who are advanced users of our software tools, including OpenSim, OpenSim Moco, OpenSense, Sit2Stand, and OpenCap. Advanced users include those who are applying Read more…

Webinar: AddBiomechanics – Lowering the Barriers to Musculoskeletal Modeling and Large-Scale Discoveries in Biomechanics

In the first part of this webinar, Mr. Werling will present the AddBiomechanics web platform and show how it can fit into your lab’s workflow. In the second half of the webinar, he will walk participants through a hands-on tutorial of uploading and processing motion capture data, provide best practices and troubleshooting tips when using AddBiomechanics, and provide an easy “getting started” kit for data sharing compliance.
