The motivations behind this project are (1) the observation that it is very difficult to predict

the functional outcome of a clinical treatment in children with cerebral palsy (CP), which

often leads to follow-up treatments with an important socio-economic impact; and (2) the

recent scientific progress in the domain of subject-specific neuro-musculoskeletal modeling

which enables the development of computer simulations to predict the functional outcome

for individual patients. Therefore, this project aims to create SimCP, a simulation platform

that will enable the clinicians to compare the effect of different treatments and to determine

which treatment has the highest potential of improving gait performance before the

intervention.
