Article

The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of current applications of artificial neural networks in the area of clinical biomechanics. The body of literature on artificial neural networks grew intractably vast during the last 15 years. Conventional statistical models may present certain limitations that can be overcome by neural networks. Artificial neural networks in general are introduced, some limitations, and some proven benefits are discussed. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
