Agenda

Part 1: Basic Course - Data processing
We will introduce OpenSim and demonstrate a typical data processing workflow in OpenSim (using the GUI) with a hands on example. To complete the hands on exercise, bring a laptop with OpenSim 3.3 installed. Software can be found at http://opensim.stanford.edu/.

09.00-10.45     Introduction to OpenSim’s models and tools

Analysis of drop landing based on experimental data
using the OpenSim GUI (scaling, inverse kinematics, inverse dynamics, static optimization)

11.15-13.00     Joint contact forces during drop landing
using the OpenSim GUI (analyze) and plugin (to generate FE modeling input)

Part 2: Advanced Course – Muscle-driven simulations and optimal design
We will demonstrate how OpenSim can be used to generate forward simulations of motion and for simulation-based design of assistive devices with a hands on example using both the GUI and the API. To complete the hands on exercise, bring a laptop with OpenSim 3.3 and matlab installed. Software and instructions for setting up the OpenSim-matlab interface can be found at http://opensim.stanford.edu/.

14.30-16.15     Evaluate ankle inversion injury risk in a drop landing

using forward simulations in the OpenSim GUI

16.45-18.30     Simulation-based design of orthosis to prevent injuries
using the OpenSim-Matlab interface
