will accelerate the use of simulation in rehabilitation research. Our
intent is to engage rehabilitation research experts to demonstrate the
use of biomechanical simulations in novel areas and to help enhance the
OpenSim software for rehabilitation science. </span><br style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">
