This chapter describes how engineering principles can be used to estimate joint forces. Principles of static and dynamic analysis are reviewed, with examples of static analysis applied to the hip and elbow joints and to the analysis of joint forces in human ancestors. Applications to indeterminant problems of joint mechanics are presented and utilized to analyze equine fetlock joints.
