This article introduces the subject with the phenomenon that older adults tend to get stress fractures more often than those of their younger counterparts. It's very remarkable that through studying the way someone walks down the stairs, the researchers are able to figure out so much, like the maximum tibial compression of someone. The researchers had gained further understanding of what was happening through their research, there are some differing biomechanics within older adults, and maximum tibial compression was decreased. Yet, even with these findings, they couldn't confirm nor disprove their hypothesis because they couldn't exactly confirm whether the altered biomechanics was a predictor of the changes in tibial compression
