Musculoskeletal simulations have enabled researchers to gain insight into tasks like walking and running, but similar pipelines for cycling do not exist. Caitlin Clancy and a team of Mobilize Center researchers at Stanford University have addressed that gap–they developed a muscle-driven simulation pipeline for cycling and explored different optimization objectives.

The Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance, Restore Center, and Mobilize Center are now accepting applications for a three-day, project-based workshop on the Stanford University campus. This workshop will take place March 11-13, 2024 and is intended for researchers who are advanced users of our software tools, including OpenSim, OpenSim Moco, OpenSense, Sit2Stand, and OpenCap. Advanced users include those who are applying Read more
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
Our partner center, the Restore Center, currently seeking proposals for our pilot project program. The program awards seed grants to innovative and meritorious projects that will accelerate the use of sensor and video technology in rehabilitation research and will advance real-world monitoring and delivery of medical rehabilitation for individuals with Read more
In the first part of this webinar, Mr. Werling will present the AddBiomechanics web platform and show how it can fit into your lab’s workflow. In the second half of the webinar, he will walk participants through a hands-on tutorial of uploading and processing motion capture data, provide best practices and troubleshooting tips when using AddBiomechanics, and provide an easy “getting started” kit for data sharing compliance.
Members of the Restore and Mobilize Centers at Stanford and C-STAR at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab will be leading a symposium entitled “Video-Based Movement Analysis for the Clinic and Community.” The symposium will be focused on video based tools such as: Human pose estimation and other computer vision algorithms OpenCap Read more
