Using an accelerometer to predict mechanical load of physical activities in young and middle-aged adults

PURPOSE: To understand the influences of mechanical loading on bone adaptation, the ground reaction force (GRF) applied to the bone must be quantified. The use of force plates in a lab setting is the accepted method for quantifying GRFs; however, this is not feasible in free-living situations. Recen...
