Solving musculoskeletal biomechanics with machine learning.

Deep learning is a relatively new computational technique for the description of the musculoskeletal dynamics. The experimental relationships of muscle geometry in different postures are the high-dimensional spatial transformations that can be approximated by relatively simple functions, which opens the opportunity for machine learning (ML) applications. In this study, we challenged general ML algorithms with the problem of approximating the posture-dependent moment arm and muscle length relationships of the human arm and hand muscles.
