1. OpenSim Workshop August 2013 Biomechanics of equine MCPJ failure 1.Tell us about you: -Michael Hardisty, Jennifer Symons -University of California-Davis -JD Wheat Veterinary Orthopedic Research Laboratory 2.Big Picture Motivation: -MCPJ is the site of frequent injury that often results in the death of horses -understand biomechanics to develop interventions (ie training, race track surface) could prevent these injuries 3.Workshop Goal: -Simulate In vitro and in vivo data of the limb -Learn about how to generate loading conditions from for FEA

2. OpenSim Workshop August 2013 Biomechanics of equine MCPJ failure 3.Workshop Goal: -Simulate In vitro and in vivo data of the limb -Learn about how to generate loading conditions from for FEA 4.Progress -Rebuilt Model from closed loop to single leg chain -In vitro and in vivo inverse kinematics
