Actuators

Hi I'm sure this is an embarrassingly straightforward question, but I'm still new to OpenSim and can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I understand the purpose of residual and reserve actuators but I don't understand how to use them. I am looking at joint reaction analysis but how will I know if I...

Has anyone used digitised landmarks on OpenSim?

Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone has previously used digitised landmarks in lieu of experimental markers. I record my mocap trials with a pointer, then use Visual 3D to create digitised hip and knee markers. I am working with obese participants so using a pointer is likely more accurate. Puttin...

Re: Any progress towards using Kistler plates with OpenSim?

Hi Madeleine, why not use MOtoNMS to convert your C3D files to Osim formats? It is compatible with Kistler FPs and the code can be tweaked to make the process more automated. MOtoNMS is flexible but can be tedious if you have lots of gait data. How many trials do you/will you have? Cheers Jas Hi Ja...

Any progress towards using Kistler plates with OpenSim?

Hi I'm exploring the impact of weight loss surgery on walking gait and want to analyse knee contact forces. All my data has been collected with Kistler plates. I have read that the OpenSim C3D File Converter isn't compatible with Kistler, but I was wondering if any progress have been made, or if any...
