There are numerous variables used to assess musculoskeletal loading during human movement. This presentation will examine ground reaction forces, segment accelerations, joint contact forces and internal bone stresses and strains. I will cover implications for injury assessment, subtleties of interpretation, benefits and drawbacks of each these methods
