Effect of botulinum toxin treatment on musculoskeletal loading during gait in CP-children: a simulation study • Prof. dr. Ilse Jonkers, Human Movement Biomechanics, KU Leuven, Belgium • Ir. Wouter Aerts, Biomechanics Section, KU Leuven, Belgium • Prof. dr. ir. Sandra Sheffelbine, Northeastern University, Boston • Prof. dr. KaatDesloovere, Rehabilitation Sciences, University Hospital Leuven • Big Picture Motivation: • Implementation predictive simulation effect of localized Botulinum toxin injections (BTI) in terms of musculoskeletal loading in CP-children • Workshop Goal: • Improving work flow by eliminating the correction controller • expanding the degrees of freedom of foot and contact model Kinematics Muscle controls Forward dynamic simulation GRF GRF • Correction controller: • No prediction, only tracking
