OpenSim: Simulating musculoskeletal dynamics and neuromuscular control to study human and animal movement
Fig 3
The OpenSim desktop application.
A graphical user interface provides access to tools for inspecting, modifying, and simulating musculoskeletal models. Shown here are the results of muscle-driven simulations of human and chimpanzee walking that were generated by tracking experimental motion capture data. OpenSim models can be augmented with passive and active devices to explore designs of exoskeletons. (Human model and simulation from Rajagopal et al. [34]; chimpanzee model from O’Neill et al. [35] and unpublished simulation results provided by M.C. O’Neill and B.R. Umberger.)
