Axial loading

Axial loading is defined as applying a force on a structure directly along a given axis of said structure.^[1] In the medical field, the term refers to the application of weight or force along the course of the long axis of the body.^[2] The application of an axial load on the human spine tends to result in vertebral compression fractures.^[3]
