Opensim 4.0 and beyond: extracting biomechanical insights from measurements, models, and simulations of movement

By studying the biomechanical structures and neuromuscular control underlying movement, we can discover strategies to prevent injury, treat disease, and enhance performance. We developed OpenSim 4.0 to model human movement and to simulate the effects of surgery and devices on performance. We are enhancing OpenSim to extract new insights from wearable sensors and implementing optimization approaches to simulate movement without experimental data.
