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

Introduction to OpenSim’s models and tools

To complete the tutorial, download data and setup files. For your reference, we also provide the output files.

Joint contact forces during drop landing

Evaluate ankle inversion injury risk in a drop landing

For this part of the workshop, we refer you to the online tutorial material provided by the OpenSim developers.

If you want to participate in the design competition - part I, send your optimal trajectory of the subtalar angle along with your design choices and a brief motivation about why you consider them to be optimal to ilse.jonkers@kuleuven.be, who will act as the jury.
