“…This paper provides a feasibility study for a general assessment methodology that overcomes one-size-fits-all challenges through the application of a genetic algorithm (GA) for subject-specific elbow model parameter prediction. We used an approach based on a commonly accepted joint/muscle physical model [ 8 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ], where we derived a subject-specific GA-based model, and then, estimated joint stiffness based on experiments using wearable sensors. This approach gives us the ability to predict and measure stiffness and other non-measurable quantities based on the model, even when measurements are not directly available.…”
