Featured Video
OpenSim: Improving Treatments for Movement Disorders through Computer Simulations
Click on the image to watch the current "Featured Video" from the Physics-Based Simulation of Biological Structures (or Simbios) at Stanford University. Simbios developed the free software OpenSim, that scientists use to model movement of living things. Orthopedic surgeons also use modeling to help plan surgery for children with cerebral palsy.
See the July 30, 2015 NIH Director's Blog entry about this video.
Visit the OpenSim Website.
Simbios was originally supported by the NIH Common Fund Bioinformatics and Computational Biology program.
