Zach Lerner of Colorado State University will describe how to modify a generic musculoskeletal model to create simulations customized to address specific research questions. He will introduce OpenSim tools, Matlab scripts, experimental protocols, and tips for using real world data.
This webinar will discuss the changes that can (and should) be made to a generic musculoskeletal model in order to more accurately represent the subject being studied and improve confidence in simulation results. Investigation of obese locomotion biomechanics will serve as a case study and motivating example demonstrating how to:
- Transform your experimental data into the OpenSim coordinate system
- Use digital markers to augment your experimental data
- Update model parameters
- Incorporate electromyography (EMG) data into your simulations as controls constraints to improve accuracy
The intended audience for this webinar is anyone who:
- Has a basic but limited understanding of OpenSim/Musculoskeletal modeling
- May be unsure how to proceed after data collection
- Is interested in modifying the generic models and setup files for their own research topic
- Is stuck at a particular point along their simulation pipeline
