Development of clinician-friendly software for musculoskeletal modeling and control.
Research and development in various fields dealing with human movement has been hampered by the lack of adequate software tools. We have formed a core development team to organize a collective effort by the research community to develop musculoskeletal modeling software that satisfies the requirements of both researchers and clinicians. We have identified initial requirements and have developed some of the basic components. We are developing common standards to facilitate sharing and reuse of musculoskeletal models and their component parts. Free distribution of the software and its source code will allow users to contribute to further development of the software as new models and data become available in the future.
