The model is based on the work of Tim Wehner and +colleagues from Ulm University in Germany. The model is based on micro CT scans +of the lower extremity of 15 rats. Kinematics was created from x-ray movies in +two different planes. This model is good example of small stand alone model to answer a specific +research question. + +The main file of the model is located at: + +{menuselection}`Application --> Beta --> UlmRatHindLimbModel --> +UlmRatHindLimbModel.Main.any` + +% .. figure:: _static/DetailedHandCloseUp.jpg .. :width: 50% + +% + +Please cite the following paper when using or publishing with this model: + +> Wehner, T. et al.
