Abstract
A new technique for measuring the surface displacement in bones is described. Speckle interferometry was used to study the deformation behaviour of embalmed human femoral bones. The bones were measured under varying loads and other conditions. It was shown that the magnitude and direction of displacement could be ascertained at selected points and the strain between any two points could be calculated. The present findings differ from those derived from mathematical models of the femoral bone published so far. The practicabilities and the limitations of this technique are outlined.
