Upper Extremity Dynamic Model
- The project releases the MoBL-ARMS dynamic musculoskeletal model of the human upper extremity, implemented in SIMM/SDFast and OpenSIM. Please see the model summary for details of the new model and its use.
New! We have released a new version of the OpenSim models and tutorial, now compatible with releases 3.2 and later. See download page for release and more information. | |

Model of the Scapulothoracic Joint
- In this study, we developed a rigid-body model of a scapulothoracic joint to describe the kinematics of the scapula relative to the thorax. This model describes scapula kinematics with four degrees of freedom: 1) elevation and 2) abduction of the scapula on an ellipsoidal thoracic surface, 3) upward rotation of the scapula normal to the thoracic surface, and 4) internal rotation of the scapula to lift the medial border of the scapula off the surface of the thorax. The surface dimensions and joint axes can be customized to match an individual’s anthropometry. We compared the model to “gold standard” bone-pin kinematics collected during three shoulder tasks and found modeled scapula kinematics to be accurate to within 2 mm root-mean-squared error for individual bone-pin markers across all markers and movement tasks. As an additional test, we added random and systematic noise to the bone-pin marker data and found that the model reduced kinematic variability due to noise by 65% compared to Euler angles computed without the model. Our scapulothoracic joint model can be used for inverse and forward dynamics analyses and to compute joint reaction loads. The computational performance of the scapulothoracic joint model is well suited for real-time applications, is freely available as an OpenSim 3.2 plugin, and is customizable and usable with other OpenSim models. | |

Dynamic Arm Simulator
- This project aims to develop a musculoskeletal model for the real-time, dynamic simulation of arm movement. It features a large-scale model of the shoulder and elbow, including the joints of the shoulder girdle and scapulo-thoracic contact. The simulation is implemented using a Matlab MEX function and uses OpenSim for pre-processing and visualisation. | |

Delft Shoulder and Elbow Model
- This project is for development and support for users of the Delft Shoulder and Elbow Model, a large-scale, 3D musculoskeletal model. Development is ingoing, with a number of enhancements since the original description in van der Helm (1994), and the model has been widely used. | |
