OpenSim Webinar - Metabolic cost modeling: experimental validation and predictive simulations

Speakers: Anne Koelewijn, D.Eng., Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg & Antonie van den Bogert, PhD, Cleveland State University

In this webinar, Anne Koelewijn from Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and Antonie van den Bogert from Cleveland State University will discuss their investigation into whether muscle activation or metabolic energy is minimized during human movement. They will highlight their experimental validation of seven different metabolic models and discuss their predictive simulations using objectives of metabolic cost versus that of squared muscle activation.

The webinar slides are available at http://hmc.csuohio.edu/resources/conf... (look under the 2019 section). The data used in the study has also been made available https://zenodo.org/record/1973799#.XY....
