1. A sensing module configured to obtain force measurement comprising:

  • a load bearing structure configured to be coupled to a muscular-skeletal system;

    a sensing assembly coupled to the load bearing structure where the sensing assembly is configured to apply a spring force to the load bearing structure, where the sensing module is configured to be inserted into an implantable orthopedic prosthetic, where the sensing assembly measures force data, where the force data is directly related to the force applied to the sensing assembly by the load bearing structure and where a processor can use the force data to determine the location of the force on the load bearing structure; and

    at least one accelerometer, where the at least one accelerometer measures motion data, where a force measurement includes the force data and the motion data.
