2. Fig. 1
Representative plots of the strain history in the (A) lateral radius and (B) medial radius for different lens magnifications. Positive peak-to-peak strains denote tension while negative peak-to-peak strains denote compression.

3. Fig. 2
Representative strain contour plots on the lateral and medial surfaces of the ulna at 1/4 of a loading cycle. The gradient values represent percentages (0.4%=0.04 strain=4000 microstrain). (A) The strain contour on the lateral ulna shows a non-uniform tensile strain response. (B) The strain contour on the medial ulna shows a non-uniform compressive strain response.

5. Fig. 4
Comparison of average peak-to-peak strains (mean±SD) after strain gaging the medial surface of each bone. Negative strains denote compression.

6. Fig. 5
Comparison of average peak-to-peak strain measurements (mean±SD) after performing DIC at different magnifications. Negative strains denote compression while positive strains denote tension.

7. Fig. 6
Comparison of average peak-to-peak strain measurements (mean±SD) from strain gaging and DIC at (A) 2×, (B) 3×, and (C) 4×. The significance threshold was set at 0.05, and negative strains denote compression.

(A) 4× image of the ulna midshaft and designated ROI after rotating the forearm 90° relative to the original orientation. (B) Representative plot showing the out-of-plane displacement in the radius midshaft due to loading only.
