The Neuromusculoskeletal Modeling Pipeline: MATLAB-based Model Personalization and Treatment Optimization Functionality for OpenSim

MATLAB toolsets add joint, muscle, synergy, and foot-contact personalization and optimal-control treatment design to OpenSim; one post-stroke case predicted 60% faster walking at equal metabolic cost.

Direction of gait asymmetry following stroke determines acute response to locomotor task

The paper examines how different gait asymmetry patterns respond to various locomotor task conditions after stroke, finding differential effects suggesting tailored interventions may be needed.

Inter-joint and temporal coordination change in very slow walking

This study examines how coordination patterns and joint contributions change during very slow walking compared to comfortable gait speeds.

Lower Extremity Long-Latency Reflexes Differentiate Walking Function After Stroke

This study identifies lower extremity long-latency reflexes as a neurophysiologic marker that differentiates walking function and recovery potential after stroke.
