===Strength===
The tibia has been modeled as taking an axial force during walking that is up to 4.7 bodyweight. Its [[bending moment]] in the sagittal plane in the late stance phase is up to 71.6 bodyweight times millimetre.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Wehner | first1 = T | last2 = Claes | first2 = L | last3 = Simon | first3 = U | year = 2009 | title = Internal loads in the human tibia during gait | journal = Clin Biomech | volume = 24 | issue = 3| pages = 299–302 | doi = 10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2008.12.007 | pmid = 19185959 }}</ref>
