Title: Accelerating Biomarker Discovery through Large-Scale Motion Capture Using OpenCap
Speaker: Parker Ruth, Department of Computer Science, Stanford University
Time: Wednesday, June 24, 2026 at 9:00 AM Pacific Time

ABSTRACT

Markerless motion capture technologies like OpenCap can expand opportunities for collecting human motion datasets outside the limitations of traditional motion capture laboratories. Parker Ruth and colleagues from the Stanford Neuromuscular Biomechanics Lab have used OpenCap to conduct large-scale human movement data collection events to develop more quantitative and sensitive outcome measures for neuromuscular diseases, including myotonic dystrophy, facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Large-scale data collections have allowed them to record a battery of nine activities from up to one hundred participants in one weekend, leading to the largest biomechanics datasets for these diseases to date.

In this two-part webinar, Mr. Ruth will share his team’s process and best practices gained from the past three years of large-scale OpenCap data collection.

In the first part, he will describe the latest findings from their large-scale study of neuromuscular disease biomechanics. He will share how these findings emerged from their fruitful collaboration with neurology and physical therapy experts to collaboratively conceive the study and develop domain-informed and interpretable data representations.

In the second part, he will share a process and best practices for planning similar large-scale human movement data collection events with OpenCap, including study design, logistics, and data management and sharing.

Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) is the analysis technique that allows the statistical analysis of typical biomechanical data e.g. 1D curves and vectors. It allows to avoid subjective analysis decisions. Actually, it works like the basic statistical analyses we all know, such as t-tests, ANOVA, and linear regression, but it extends these to one-dimensional profiles of forces or kinematics. Actually, pretty much anyone can use it with a little bit of training, which only requires one to learn the basic principles that underpin the technique, and then apply this through very basic tools.

Workshop description
In this in-person workshop you will learn to understand the principles underpinning SPM. You will conduct SPM analyses in Matlab or Python AND learn how to include SPM in your scientific reporting. A certificate can be earned at the end of the two-day workshop, based on successfully conducting hypothesis tests on experimental and simulated data.

Topics covered during the workshop
  • Principles of probability and random field theory
  • Temporal data registration and smoothing
  • Running a t-test using SPM
  • ANOVA using SPM
  • Linear regression using SPM
  • Writing up SPM results
So, on 3-4 June 2026 we are running an in-person workshop in Leuven, Belgium.
