*Abstract:*
This Special Session focuses on emerging and rapidly developing areas at 
the intersection between neuromusculoskeletal modeling, biomechatronics 
and wearable technologies. It will showcase innovative research aimed to 
increase our understanding of motor function and impairment as well as 
how wearable assistive devices can contribute to modulate, replace or 
restore human motor capacity. Furthermore, It will discuss how 
subject-specific features of anatomy, physiology, and impairment can be 
accounted for in the development of truly personalized assistive 
solutions. Finally, it will serve as a forum to examine future key 
challenges in the field and promising strategies for addressing them

*Speakers:*
- Hartmut Geyer (Carnegie Mellon University, USA)
- Gregory S. Sawicki (North Carolina State University and University of 
North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA)
- Herman van der Kooij (University of Twente and Delft university of 
Technology, The Netherlands)
- Cor Meijnecke (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands)
- Amy Wu (École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland)
