Webinar: Patient-specific Modeling & Scaling with MAP & Statistical Shape Modeling

Subject-specific computational models of the musculoskeletal system have tremendous potential for clinical application. However, generating these models is time-consuming, costly, and requires high levels of expertise. Furthermore, the geometry of computational models used to investigate joint mechanics often do not map well to the rigid body models to estimate muscle forces.  In this presentation, Thor Besier and Ju Zhang from the University of Auckland, New Zealand describe their workflow tool, the Musculoskeletal Atlas Project (MAP), and the methods it uses to improve and streamline patient-specific model-building and scaling.  You can learn more about MAP by browsing their documentation at https://map-client.readthedocs.org/en... or by downloading their code from GitHub:  https://github.com/MusculoskeletalAtl....
