- This paper presents an innovative method of assessing mechanical loading on the human body. It addresses a limitation of physical activity monitors which only count the number of steps without any mechanical loading information. A significant finding is that the loading dose was directly related to musculoskeletal health. The authors have been invited to present the work in international conferences. (The UK and ASEAN workshop on cost-effective solutions and assistive technologies for low-income ageing populations 2018, Vietnam) The mechanical loading algorithm has been employed by other researchers in their work.
