Nothing in the registration suggests they are limiting it to medical personnel. It may be just a sales pitch, if so just drop off the presentation when selling starts.

Abstract
The goal of this webinar is to describe our vision for how
patient-specific neuromechanical walking models could potentially be
used to design customized rehabilitation interventions that normalize
walking ability post stroke. The walking models will be informed by a
patient's pre-intervention gait data (motion capture, ground reaction,
and EMG), will account for the patient's neural control limitations and
remaining capabilities, and will predict both the type (i.e.,
prescription) and amount (i.e., dosage) of intervention that should
normalize a patient's walking speed and symmetry to the fullest extent
possible. The presentation will be organized into two sections - a
clinical section and a modeling section. The clinical section will cover
general clinical observations related to stroke rehabilitation along
with current challenges in designing effective interventions. The
modeling section will focus on existing and imminent modeling
capabilities available for predicting the best gait pattern a specific
patient is theoretically capable of achieving, followed by a brief
discussion of how these modeling techniques could potentially be
implemented in OpenSim with the assistance of Matlab.
