Abstract：
:The myoskeletal inverse dynamics problem and the myocybernetic control inverse problem were investigated with respect to their ill-posedness. The first problem consists of finding from observed experimental motion and reaction force data the resultant muscle moments that generated the observed motion, while the second aims at finding the corresponding neural controls. It is shown that both problems belong to the class of incorrectly posed (ill-posed) problems that, by definition, do not possess unique solutions. To illustrate this point, results of a forward dynamics simulation of a comprehensive neuromusculoskeletal model of the human body are presented. These results demonstrate that fairly chaotic neural control perturbations have very little influence on the resulting motion trajectory, at least in the present example. While a regularization procedure may be applied to solve successfully the myoskeletal inverse dynamics problem, the myocybernetic control inverse problem is unsolvable. The latter fact has the important implication that, based on the somatosensory inputs it receives, the pars intermedia in the cerebellum is not able to control individual motor unit stimulation rates and recruitment patterns but only whole muscles by means of a single compound signal. The latter signal is identified as the "common drive." Presumably at the spinal level, special neural circuits are used to decompose the common drive signal into motor unit recruitment patterns and stimulation rates that are specific for a given mode of contraction and probably obey certain optimality principles.
