Mobilize, Restore, and FAIR Centers Webinar: A Hands-on Guide to the NMSM Pipeline for Treatment Design
The Mobilize, Restore, and FAIR Centers at Stanford University invite you to join our next webinar, featuring B.J. Fregly from Rice University.
DETAILS
Title: A Hands-on Guide to the NMSM Pipeline for Treatment Design
Speaker: B.J. Fregly, Ph.D., Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Bioenginering, Rice University
Time: Thursday, January 29, 2026 at 9:00 AM Pacific Time
Registration: Click here to register
ABSTRACT
Designing optimal orthopedic surgery, physical rehabilitation, and neurorehabilitation interventions using “digital twins” of individual patients is an important goal of neuromusculoskeletal modeling. The open-source Matlab-based Neuromusculoskeletal Modeling (NMSM) Pipeline software was developed specifically to achieve this goal by adding Model Personalization and Treatment Optimization toolsets to OpenSim.
In the first part of the webinar, Dr. Fregly will cover the two primary components of the NMSM pipeline including:
Hammond, C.V., Williams, S.T., Vega, M.M., Ao, D., Li, G., Salati, R.M., Pariser, K.M., Shourijeh, M.S., Habib, A.W., Patten, C., and Fregly, B.J. (2025) The Neuromusculoskeletal Modeling Pipeline: model personalization and treatment optimization functionality for OpenSim. Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation 22, Article 112.

The open-source Matlab-based Neuromusculoskeletal Modeling (NMSM) Pipeline software was developed specifically to achieve this goal by adding Model Personalization and Treatment Optimization toolsets to OpenSim.
In the first part of the webinar, Dr. Fregly will cover the two primary components of the NMSM pipeline including:
- Model Personalization: Enables researchers to personalize joint, muscle-tendon, synergy-based neural control, and deformable foot-ground contact model properties in any scaled OpenSim model
- Treatment Optimization: Uses pre-treatment experimental data (e.g., marker-based motion capture, ground reaction, EMG) as inputs for tracking, verification, and design optimizations that identify an optimal treatment design that maximizes the patient’s post-treatment movement function.
