Drs. Scott Uhlrich, Antoine Falisse, and Lukasz Kidzinski, along with other Mobilize Center researchers at Stanford have developed OpenCap, a freely available, cloud-based tool that measures both human movement kinematics (i.e., joint angles) and kinetics (e.g., muscle activations, ground reaction forces, and joint loading) using two smartphones. OpenCap enables researchers Read more…

Exotendon assistive devices have been shown to reduce the rate of energy expenditure during running. Jon Stingel and a team of Mobilize Center researchers at Stanford University wanted to better understand the muscle-level changes that contributed to these cost savings. The team created a musculoskeletal simulation framework that revealed the Read more…
