DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Computer simulation has revolutionized science and engineering. The PIs propose to establish a National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research to bring the power of simulation to medical rehabilitation. The Center will provide robust tools for simulating human motion, enabling investigators to answer clinical questions that cannot be solved with experimental studies alone. Hundreds of scientists affiliated with the Center will focus on critical areas of rehabilitation, including stroke, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, osteoarthritis, prosthetics, orthotics, and sports medicine. The PIs will pursue the following specific aims. 1. Develop and disseminate advanced technology for the simulation of musculoskeletal dynamics and accelerate its appropriate use in rehabilitation research. 2. Award seed grants to innovative and meritorious pilot projects that employ simulation tools to identify the mechanisms underlying movement disorders and improve the efficacy of rehabilitation. 3. Attract and train 20 talented scholars from computer science, biomechanics, physical therapy and other fields to become experts in simulation and the needs of individuals with disabilities. 4. Teach over 300 rehabilitation scientists to create and test biomechanical simulations and correctly interpret their results during intensive multi-day workshops. 5. Introduce over 1000 rehabilitation specialists to the value and limitations of musculoskeletal simulation through hands-on training at national and international conferences. 6. Create web-based tutorials, lectures, and a formal textbook to promote the appropriate use of simulation in rehabilitation research. The development and dissemination of open source software for the rehabilitation community addresses a critical barrier to progress in the field. The software will be designed in close partnership with rehabilitation scientists and physicians to address critical, clinically motivated questions across the spectrum of medical rehabilitation. There is a rapidly growing community of rehabilitation scientists eager to engage in this project; thus, the timing for establishing this core resource is excellent. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project will develop state-of-the-art simulation software and train rehabilitation researchers to create highly accurate simulations of human movement that can be used to improve treatment for individuals with physical disabilities. Hundreds of researchers will contribute their specialized expertise in muscle biology, neuroscience, bioengineering, computer science, and rehabilitation to identify the mechanisms by which physical impairments limit participation and provide a scientific basis for improving function.

描述（由申请人提供）：计算机模拟彻底改变了科学和工程。 PIS建议建立一个国家康复研究中的国家模拟中心，以将模拟的力量带入医疗康复。该中心将提供强大的工具来模拟人类的运动，使研究人员能够仅通过实验研究来回答无法解决的临床问题。隶属于该中心的数百名科学家将重点关注康复的关键领域，包括中风，脊髓损伤，脑瘫，骨关节炎，假肢，矫形器和运动医学。 PI将追求以下特定目标。 1。开发和传播先进的技术，以模拟肌肉骨骼动力学，并加速其在康复研究中的适当用途。 2。授予种子授予创新和功绩性的试点项目，这些项目采用模拟工具来识别运动障碍的机制并提高康复功效。 3.吸引并培训来自计算机科学，生物力学，物理疗法和其他领域的20名才华横溢的学者，成为模拟专家和残疾人的需求。 4.教300多名康复科学家创建和测试生物力学模拟，并在密集的多天研讨会上正确解释其结果。 5。通过在国家和国际会议上的动手培训，向1000多名康复专家介绍了肌肉骨骼模拟的价值和局限性。 6.创建基于网络的教程，讲座和正式教科书，以促进在康复研究中适当使用模拟。开源软件的康复社区的开发和传播旨在解决该领域进步的关键障碍。该软件将与康复科学家和医生密切合作设计，以解决整个医疗康复领域的关键，临床动机的问题。有一个迅速发展的康复科学家社区渴望参与该项目。因此，建立此核心资源的时机非常好。 公共卫生相关性：该项目将开发最先进的模拟软件和培训康复研究人员，以创建对人类运动的高度准确模拟，该模拟可用于改善身体残疾人的治疗方法。数百名研究人员将在肌肉生物学，神经科学，生物工程，计算机科学和康复方面贡献其专业专业知识，以确定物理障碍限制参与并为改善功能提供科学基础的机制。
