- Forces are NOT moving in opposite or approximating directions exclusively. This is a COMBINATION of tension and compression.
- When shear is the primary motion occuring, the body often lacks sufficient ways to attenuate this stress and may lead to degenerative changes over time or perhaps even acute tissue rupture.
- EXAMPLES: This is seen in ACL ruptures and spondylolisthesis.
