Fisher, Donald L., Andres, Robert O., Buchholz, Bryan, Hughes, Richard and Marras, William S. (1992): Applications of Optimization in Biomechanics: Consensus and Controversy. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 722-723.

“Increasingly, optimization is appearing as an integral part of biomechanical solutions to ergonomic problems. The primary objective of this panel is to introduce several different optimization tools and point out their related strengths and weaknesses. Optimization techniques have been used to solve a wide range of ergonomic problems. These problems include those which prove the most costly of the occupationally related disorders (in particular, lower back disorders) and those which are the most frequently reported of the occupationally related disorders (in particular, repetitive motion disorders). The problems addressed by this panel will include the above two disorders as well as several related ones. Specifically, mention will made of both lower back disorders (Marras) and repetitive motion disorders (Fisher) as well as slips and falls (Andres), mechanical trauma to the upper extremities (Buchholz), and more general problems requiring the determination of muscle forces (Hughes). The applications were also chosen to provide a window on the controversy which is attached to the use of various optimization techniques. Three elements of the controversy will be discussed: the verifiability of the ideal or optimal models of the biomechanical system; the tractability of the optimization techniques; and the generality of the optimization techniques.”
