Abstract

A method has been reported which enables in vivo recordings of bone strain to be made in the walking animal.

Semiconductor strain gauges have been used on the tibia of sheep to develop this technique and the incidental results showing the strain pattern from one gauge on the medial surface of the midshaft are illustrated.
