Brief Biography
Ajay Seth is an assistant professor of Biomechanical Engineering at Delft University of Technology where he directs the Computational Biomechanics Lab. His research is centered on neuromuscular and musculoskeletal modeling and computer simulation to understand, monitor, and affect human movement. He was the principal architect of the biomechanical modeling and simulation software, OpenSim—the most widely used musculoskeletal simulator, which he now directs its development at TU Delft. Ajay’s background is in biomechanical modeling, controls (Ph.D.), multibody dynamics, computer simulation, and software design. He has a decade of industrial software engineering experience and over a dozen years of scientific research and development. Dr. Seth is devoted to applying physics-based modeling and simulations to accurately measure and classify human performance outside of the laboratory and to design devices and clinical interventions to improve human mobility.

Applying musculoskeletal modeling to improve the design and technology for shoulder injury therapy and prevention.

Brief Biography
Michael Davidson was born on January 14, 1956 and graduated in physiotherapy in 1979. He obtained his manual therapy diploma on April 22, 1991. Since 1980 he has been established as an independent physiotherapist and owner of his physiotherapy practice in Amsterdam, named Milé Fysiotherapie.

Literally over a hundred diagnostic tests exist for the identification of shoulder complaints. Almost none of these tests by themselves are proven valid. The use of test combinations, based on systematic combination of tests related to scapular kinematics, pain and reduced mobility, can help the therapist to zoom in on the type and region of the problem and the accompanying treatment.

Michael Davidson has 40+ years of experience as a shoulder physical therapist. In this presentation he will demonstrate his approach and explain his rationale behind the followed procedures.
