In this lecture we will briefly go through different approaches to simulate surgeries and evaluate the outcome of surgeries. The hands-on tutorial is a modified version of the online OpenSim tutorial 2 and aims to replicate the findings from the paper by Delp, Ringwelski and Carroll (1994) Transfer of the rectus femoris: effects of transfer site on moment arms about the knee and hip. J Biomechanics, 27 (10), 1201-1211. Please, find the lecture slides from the link below:

In the hands-on part of the lecture we will:
1) perform virtual surgeries in OpenSim and simulate different approaches to do a rectus femoris muscle-transfer
2) evaluate the impact of the surgeries on hip and knee moment arms
3) compare our results with the findings from Delp, Ringwelski and Carroll (1994)
