“…All reviewed literature observed no change in ankle sagittal plane range of motion as load increased during walking 10,18,45,49,53,55 . Similar to some of the findings for the hip and knee, the ankle may maintain its posture as load is added in order to prevent collapse of the lower limb.…”

“…During walking, vertical and anteroposterior GRF increase proportionally to the load added 11,18,48,49 . In addition to peak GRF, the rate at which force is applied to the lower limb can have injury implications as well 19,30 In addition to increases in range of motion, adding load when walking alters hip joint kinetics as well.…”

“…The addition of body borne load has been found to increase internal knee extension moment 18,53,55 . This increase was observed when both 15% 18,55 and 30% 55 of the participant's body weight was added, as well when an absolute load of 32 kg 53 was added. All three studies found that the knee exhibited the greatest increase in moment of the lower limb joints (hip, knee, and ankle) when load was added.…”

“…Similar to some of the findings for the hip and knee, the ankle may maintain its posture as load is added in order to prevent collapse of the lower limb. While the range of motion may remain unchanged, the ankle exhibits an increase in internal plantarflexion moment with load 18,55 . Increased joint moment in combination with no change in range of motion is indicative of increased stiffness at the ankle, however there is dearth of research regarding ankle stiffness during loaded walking.…”

“…Body borne load reportedly increases peak vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) during walking 11,[17][18][19] and running 9,13 , increasing strain on the lower limb musculoskeletal system [19][20][21] and risk of MSI. In order to attenuate the increased GRF and prevent collapse of the lower limb, load carriers reportedly increase leg stiffness 13,22 .…”
