Real-time model for shoulder and arm simulation

DAS3 is the third generation of the Dynamic Arm Simulator, a real-time simulation of a musculoskeletal model of the shoulder and arm. The arm simulator is developed as part of the NIH contract “Brain-Controlled Hybrid Functional Electrical Stimulation”, led by Dr. Robert F. Kirsch at Case Western Reserve University.

When used together with a suitable visualisation environment, the DAS3 model can provide a virtual reality tool for testing interventions that restore function to the paralysed arm, such as functional electrical stimulation (FES).
