Joint moments and muscle excitations increase with body-mass normalized backpacks across walking slopes
Our overall findings define the biomechanical task demands for sloped walking with a backpack load. These results provide a mechanical context that may be useful for understanding musculoskeletal overuse injury attributed to load carriage.
