This proposal addresses one of the most fundamental and difficult questions related to the treatment of children with cerebral palsy: Why do these children walk in a crouched position, with excessively bent hips and knees? High-fidelity, patient-specific computer simulations of walking can help to answer this question and, in so doing, can improve the outcomes of orthopaedic surgeries designed to correct movement abnormalities in these patients. Realistic computer simulations of human movement can play a pivotal role in healthcare through patient rehabilitation; in sports, through the development of personalized training programs for elite athletes; and in entertainment, through the creation of video games and animated films.

这项建议解决了与脑瘫儿童治疗相关的最基本、最困难的问题之一：为什么这些儿童走路时要蹲着走，臀部和膝盖过度弯曲？高保真的、特定于患者的行走计算机模拟可以帮助回答这个问题，这样做可以改善旨在纠正这些患者运动异常的矫形手术的结果。逼真的人体运动计算机模拟可以通过患者康复在医疗保健中发挥关键作用；通过为精英运动员开发个性化训练计划在体育领域发挥关键作用；通过创建视频游戏和动画电影在娱乐领域发挥关键作用。
