... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested.

Genaidy, Ashraf and Houshyar, Abdolazim (1989): Optimization Techniques in Occupational Biomechanics. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 672-676.

In most detailed representations of joint mechanics incorporating the effects of muscle forces in biomechanical models the number of available force-carrying structures crossing the joints are in excess of the number of available equilibrium of the joint. Unless one makes gross anatomical and functional simplifications, the mathematical description of joint mechanics involves an undetermined set of equations. Different approaches have been taken by researchers to solve this statically indeterminate problem, but the intuitive reasonableness of optimization in body function has led investigators to use numeral optimization procedures in the prediction of muscle force activity. This paper reviews and evaluates various optimization techniques applied to occupational biomechanics.
