The five implemented tasks visualizing respectively MR images, inverse kinematics errors, moments from inverse dynamics, muscle activation from computed muscle control, finite element simulations.


Abstract :

This paper outlines the functionalities of a visualization tool for the neuromuscular platform OpenSim. The goal is to allow scientific visualizations of simulation data directly embedded within the OpenSim GUI. Basically, this tool creates visualization tasks defining and displaying relationships between musculoskeletal data and 3D objects. This paper presents how the tool works and what functionalities have been implemented.
