We invite all ICORR participants to take part in the 2-hour OpenSim Workshop on Wednesday, June 26^_th at 4:15pm. Workshops are included with full conference registration.  This workshop will feature an overview of the OpenSim software and a hands-on team exercise. More information and workshop materials are below:

Preparation for the Workshop

No prior OpenSim experience is required. Interested participants should either bring a PC laptop with OpenSim 3.0.1 installed or be prepared to team up with another participant. To participate in the design challenge to create an active orthotic, participants should download the additional Active AFO Files. Attendance is limited. To guarantee a seat, please arrive early.


Please direct any questions to Katherine Steele at kmsteele@uw.edu or Jeff Reinbolt at reinbolt@utk.edu.

Workshop Exercise

As an example, workshop participants will use a new Drop Landing Model included in OpenSim 3.0.1 to evaluate the design of an ankle-foot-orthosis to prevent ankle injuries during landing. Instructions for the exercise are available on the page: Simulation-Based Design to Prevent Ankle Injuries.
