In this tutorial two members of the ASB Executive Board will present to you (1) the new guidelines that has been adapted by the NIH for writing and reviewing applications, and (2) what stays always the same in these applications like writing good hypotheses!

The past few years have seen rapid growth in the use of biplanar videoradiography (fluroscopy) combined with model-based motion analysis for measuring 3D skeletal kinematics. At Brown University we have been developing a set of model-based motion analysis methods we are calling X-ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology (XROMM; see our web site www.xromm.org). This tutorial will include an overview of hardware and software development, and demonstrations of software for marker-based XROMM (also called dynamic RSA) and markerless XROMM. Methods for measuring precision and accuracy and for validating markerless XROMM will be discussed.
