NMSBuilder Software for Creating Patient-Specific OpenSim Models

NMSBuilder enables biomechanics researchers of different backgrounds to easily create subject-specific models that can be used in OpenSim (http://opensim.stanford.edu) dynamic simulations through a graphical user interface (GUI). It provides a user-friendly tool package for biomedical data processing, developing OpenSim musculoskeletal models from subject-specific data, and leveraging OpenSim to perform dynamic simulations of movement.

The webinar will center around the specific example of generating OpenSim models from anatomical surfaces segmented from a lower-limb MRI data set. During the webinar, attendees will learn about how NSMBuilder can be used to:

•Integrate and edit medical images and geometric data
•Create and modify model components of the musuloskeletal system (e.g., bones, joints, muscles)
•Generate OpenSim's xml model file from subject-specific data


NMSBuilder provides a complete framework enabling both pre- and post-processing of subject-specific models and simulations. It is freely available for download from https://www.biomedtown.org/biomed_tow....

NMSBuilder is a MAF-based application developed within the NMSPhysiome project (http://nmsphysiome.eu/) and which is integrated with the OpenSim API.
