Objective: to learn how to quantitatively analyze the
mechanical function of the human musculoskeletal system
using principles of physics and physiology.
Tissue Biomechanics:
Quantify response/role of tendon, bone and muscle
Must know applied force/displacement
Functional Anatomy:
Describe movement
Determine muscles involved
Kinematics:
Quantify movement
Kinetics:
Quantify whole-body and muscle forces and moments
While walking slowly, a 60kg woman places
all of her weight, W, on one foot as
shown.

• Determine the vertical compressive
force FB that the tibia exerts on the talus
• An equal and opposite compressive
force therefore acts on the tibia. If the
cross-sectional area of the tibia is
1000mm2 determine the resultant stress
in the tibia
• If the elastic modulus (E) of bone is
12GPa, determine the resultant strain in
the tibia.
• If the woman’s tibia is initially 0.5m
long, how much does it shorten by?
