For longer-term planning, the proposed methodology would have to be coupled with remodeling studies. The presented results demostrates that quantification of stresses...

For example, motion and force sensors can be implanted in the animal but investigators must determine the extent to which these sensors and surgery affect normal gait. Our objectives in this study were...
