[InSilicoWorld @InSilicoWorld]

As the #InSilicoTrials field expands, some large universities might have opportunities to develop a specialised curriculum.

Here's a proposal for curricula - drafted by #InSilicoWorld - to train & retrain technical & non-technical stakeholders on IST.

Our new paper in which we predicted gait patterns present in children with spasticity by forward simulations with velocity-based hyperreflexia

[Mobilise-D @Mobilise_D]

📢 New paper! Our findings highlight the importance of choosing cohort-specific algorithms for gait sequence detection and CAD estimation. Short walking bouts and slow walking speed impact algorithm performance.🚶‍♂️💡🔬Read more: https://t.co/0MIUeJbK7M @EFPIA @IHIEurope #wearables

#MSK model #personalization matters!

Children are not simply smaller adults and #neuromuscular disorders, e.g. CP, are associated to altered muscle activation patterns.

Inform your paediatric MSK models with #medicalimaging and #EMG data, if you can!

[Giorgio Davico @giodav89]

It took quite a while to get this paper out, but it's finally out there!

Thanks to all my co-authors for their contribution (@bryce_killen @dannydev_6 @christophrcarty @pzcld, prof. David Lloyd)!

[Giorgio Davico @giodav89]

Yet another proof of the #repeatability of manual #segmentations of (hip) #muscle volumes on clinical #MRI data! Read our latest paper on #TheJDI for details 👇

@UniBo_Biomech, @esb_ita I'm surprised not to see Italy among the participating countries...shouldn't we organize our own National Biomechanics Day event(s) as well?..just a thought..

[National Biomechanics Day @BiomechanicsDay]

...and as you can see, National Biomechanics Day 2023 is officially April 5... nominally, of course. You can hold your NBD event on any date that works best for you! Please register for #NBD2023: https://t.co/mzZpeVg8Bq
