Abstract
While in natural sciences, empiricism is predominant, mathematical modeling is traditionally limited to induc- tive models that extrapolate from repeated experimental observations. The extreme specialization of research has slowly separated mathematical modeling skills from ex- perimental skills in most research groups, and it is not rare to see groups where only one of these skills is truly developed. This is a pity: the complexity involved with understanding the biomechanical behavior of the muscu- loskeletal system is overwhelming; to advance compre- hension, one should be ready to use every technique available.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
