BOPS

BOPS performs batch processing of musculoskeletal data using Matlab to automate OpenSim procedures for biomechanical modeling and simulation.

Key Features:

• Batch processing: Automates execution of multiple analyses across datasets to enable high-throughput processing of musculoskeletal data.
• Matlab-based implementation: Implemented as a Matlab toolbox providing scriptable processing workflows.
• OpenSim integration: Executes OpenSim procedures for biomechanical modeling and simulation.
• Supported analyses: Runs Inverse Kinematics, Inverse Dynamics, Muscle Analysis, Static Optimization, and Joint Reaction Analysis.
• Configurable setup files: Uses pre-defined setup files and configurable processing scripts to adapt procedures to different projects.

Scientific Applications:

• Inverse Kinematics: Perform OpenSim Inverse Kinematics to derive joint kinematics from experimental data.
• Inverse Dynamics: Execute OpenSim Inverse Dynamics to compute dynamics-related outputs from kinematic inputs.
• Muscle Analysis: Run OpenSim Muscle Analysis for muscle-tendon behavior assessment.
• Static Optimization: Conduct Static Optimization studies within OpenSim for optimization-based muscle analysis.
• Joint Reaction Analysis: Compute joint reaction loads using OpenSim Joint Reaction Analysis.
• Large-scale dataset processing: Process large musculoskeletal datasets for comprehensive modeling and simulation studies.

Methodology:

Matlab scripts automate OpenSim procedures by applying pre-defined setup files and configurable processing scripts to run Inverse Kinematics, Inverse Dynamics, Muscle Analysis, Static Optimization, and Joint Reaction Analysis in batch.
