After viewing the Mark de Zee webcast on lumbar inverse techniques it
seems the team are moving on to implantation on degenerative joints.
I have previously worked in the field of ultrasound imaging and I
think it may have an application for scaling posterior paraspinal
muscles, especially lumbar multifidus which has been shown to have
assymetry with injury.
these papers are of particular note;

Just thought I’d highlight RUSI’s potential application,
Thank you very much for the references. These kind of applications of
the model could be very interesting. In the model it is very easy to
change the strength of some selected muscles or muscle groups. After
this one can estimate the change in muscle activation and loading for a
given movement.
With these references one has a better estimate how to change the
strength in some of the muscle groups.
