The 11th Conference of the International Shoulder Group (ISG) will be held from 14th-16th July 2016 in Winterthur, Switzerland and will include a half-day OpenSim workshop. The workshop will be led by Dimitra Blana (Keele University, UK) and Ricardo Matias (University of Lisbon, Portugal).
All ISG conference participants are invited to take part in the OpenSim workshop on Thursday July 14th from 13:30 - 17:45. The goal of the workshop is to introduce a newly developed shoulder model, and demonstrate how it can be used to investigate clinically relevant problems. It will feature an overview of the OpenSim software and hands-on team exercises. No prior OpenSim experience is required.
The ISG conference provides a scientific knowledge-sharing platform among scientists, engineers, and clinicians interested in shoulder biomechanics. Besides the OpenSim workshop, other highlights include keynote speeches from Dr. med. Matthias Zumstein (Bern University Hospital) and Prof. Dr. Tobias Nef (University of Bern); eight scientific sessions with 33 oral and 10 poster presentations; and an industrial exhibition supporting the interaction between industry, clinical practice and research. To find out more and register please go to the conference website.
Interested participants should bring a PC laptop with OpenSim 3.3 installed or be prepared to team up with other participants. To reserve a place please tick the relevant box on the conference registration page.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
Identify components of an OpenSim model (GUI & xml)
Load the new shoulder model and scapulothoracic joint plugin
Identify the marker set used in the shoulder model
Import experimental data
Use OpenSim's Scale Tool to scale the shoulder model
Use OpenSim's Inverse Kinematics Tool to solve for the model's joint angles from marker data
...
The workshop will take place in room TN E0.58, Technikumstrasse 71, ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences. (The same location as the main ISG conference.) See here for a map.
