Soft tissue motion occurs as impulsive loads are applied to the skeletal system. It has been
demonstrated that the wave like motion of these wobbling masses can reduce the loads acting on the
musculoskeletal system. This is an important concept to consider, whether the loads acting on the
musculoskeletal system are being determined using either inverse or direct dynamics.
